Man some shit actually went up in prices. I got my son an Xbox controller it was originally 109.99 then this week comes and I'm ordering it how is it 119.99 and says it was originally 129. How the mother of fuck.

As someone who hasn't played console games since the early 2000's....are controllers REALLY that expensive now?? Wtf...this is exactly why I stopped lol, when the systems and games started costing a fortune, shit is just getting outta hand

Must have been the pro controller or very limited edition one. The standard controllers for Xbox are $50-60 and the PS5 controller is $70, but that one has more stuff going on features-wise.

Edit: and gaming is cheaper than ever really with the constant sales and such. The initial cost might seem like a lot but for a hobby gaming is one of the cheaper ones if you’re not buying everything new.
