My scoprio controller felt like it was put together poorly so I ended up buying one of those blue tech style controllers with the rubberized backing. It feels a lot better to use than the scorpio controller but it also has some issues with the shoulder buttons. The 360 controller was put together so well, I don't get why this controller they bragged about spending over $100 million developing seems to be so poorly constructed.

I would love to buy a 3rd party controller but all the wireless ones are done via stupidly expensive controllers...like Razr and Scuf.

Honestly, I'd rather they enable wired 360 controllers to work on X1.

I have the Xbox One S original controller, the Scorpio edition controller and Elite controller. All working flawlessly. Same for my DS4 controller that came with my Pro.

Hope my Elite holds up until then. Like many of you, mine is beaten to hell. 2000 hours between Halo 5 arena, Dark Souls and Cuphead will kick a controllers ass.

I am with you...I have countless hours on my controllers and have yet to have one fail on me....knock on wood....

If a new Elite wasn't just around the corner, I'd be all over that Phantom Black SE. Goddamn.

i havent bought a controller in few years, that phantom black is speaking to me

 

[lowdru2k]

Turned on my One X and it will not let me sign into any accounts on it. Keeps giving me a “we couldn’t sign you in” message. I’ve tried restarting the console. It will let me sign in on my One S, XBox app, and XBox site. Anyone ever had this problem?

EDIT: Appears MS is having sign in issues on Live.

 

[Kerosene31]

Yep same problem

 

[lowdru2k]

Now it’s not letting me sign into the One S either, damn I should have stayed signed in!

There goes my gaming night.

which blue tech controller you're talking about?

 

[Nervusbreakdown]

I think xbox live is down - rare

Sadly more common this gen than it ever was in the past.

 

[Nervusbreakdown]

not for xbox live

 

[JinCA]

not for xbox live

Yeah it has been down significantly more, it's not down all the time or anything close to that but it has been attacked more and spent more time down this gen than either of the last two.

 

[karmakid]

So, kinda info we’ve heard before...

Internal battery, USB-C, 3 levels of hair triggers locks.

 

[Kerosene31]

Of course I just get my new Elite controller yesterday and now a new model will be coming out. Although honestly other than maybe the hair triggers I don't think there's much that is needed. If anything, an internal battery is more of a pain. I always find it way easier to swap in rechargeable AA batteries.

Yes. I would rather just swap out my Eneloops when they are low for the fresh ones that I have charging.

Do you think they named this project Scarlett after her nudes leaked?

I'd like to think so.

Well then....I wouldn't mind a Project Scarlett Edition Xbox....if you get my drift.....

 

[TDbank24]

Wish they had called it Project Kardashian. Like Kim, Xbox is everywhere these days.

Errybody already seen dem nudes.

 

[Rollins]

I'd like to think so.

Noooooooooo. If anything, those pics didn’t raise her stock for me. If she weren’t famous I honestly think she wouldn’t be considered very attractive.

They should have named it Project J Lawrence. Her stock went waaaay up with those leaked nudes. Oh yes. Along with my sundial.

I think Lawrence also had a somewhat newer video as well where's she's derping it up a bit, still a win.
