hudfreegamer: My first Xbox 360 - Stupid RR of death. It died just after the warranty expired.
I bought one when they upgraded the chipset and added a 3 year warrenty.
Som bitch RR'd at 3 years and 3 months.
I should have used it for target practice.
hudfreegamer: Purchased a Used Xbox 360 controller - The right stick was well worn and wouldn't properly center. It would slowly drift to the right, completely throwing off aim.
tammerwhisk: As someone in IT and a longtime gamer, never ever ever buy a controller, keyboard, mouse, or other peripheral used.
1. People go HAM on their shit
2. People are slobs
3. You do not want to know about the bacteria and traces people get on that shit (be like taking a black light into a cheap motel room)
It ain't worth saving 10-30 dollars.
Not a purchasing regret, but god do I regret selling my n64, gamecube, and wii games. Little did I know at the time that many of those titles would be the pinnacle of their genre/series/or franchise.
Never bought a used peripheral that worked right.
Don't be an animal and it will most likely last the span of a console. The only controller I had to replace was an original Xbox controller. Every other console (all 7 of them) held up just fine.
Good luck finding a decent N64 controller. I tried about 8 of them in the store and they were all jacked up. Took the best one and ordered a new analog unit from Amazon. More on that later.
N64 games and hardware are actually a decent investment. If you still have them, keep them.
