I'd love to replace my old wired 360 controller for my PC but I'm not paying over 50 for a controller.
You can look at the pictures. It's just adding the 3.5mm jack to the left of the current port.
I thought the headset looked different. I really liked the design of the original though, this one must be cheaper/more reliable.
Edit: actually looks like the old 360 headset with in-line volume controls designed to fit the new 3.5mm jack...
Yea I was about to just say your edit
My default mic broke so I just went with the adapter that does this controllers job. But the bumpers intrigue me I guess.

Is that a new pack in headset I saw with it as well?

Why not just get a 2GB external for like $100? Games will load faster off of the USB 3.0 if you install them there and you can pop it out and take it with you to a buddies house?

This comes just a week after I ran out and bought a new wired 360 pad to play Witcher 3 on the PC. :/ Then again my old one has seen better days. That dongle spells good news though. 'Cause fuck whoever invented micro usb, flakiest shit around. Too many disconnects when I play. Good riddance.

If you already have a console, why not just get an external drive that is much larger than 1TB? Install all games to the external and you get improved load times and your entire library is portable.
Seriously people, get an external.
The idea that I'll want to fumble around in system settings when the game audio is too much. Louder than chat audio or when people stop talking so I want the game louder is hilarious. The headset adapter is worth every penny.still options are nice I suppose but nothing will beat having the buttons at my
Fingertips instead of buried in a menu somewhere.

Dislike that the mic buttons are now dangling somewhere in mid-air instead of being attached to the bottom of your controller. The 360 mic redesign had this as well and didn't like it there either.

*lack of reading comprehension
edit: It's nice to get this outta the way for E3 as it's not big enough to be announced at E3 as it's a true price drop. 1TB is nice however with HMCC for $400... I wonder if this will come in matte white?

Anyone else notice he still uses Windows 7? Lol
Nah, I love having to change the batteries only once every 2-3 weeks.

The 350 price point (for the 500) and that new controller has me SUPER tempted!
Show me the software!

Great to see the Patcher curse is still in full effect. Now we just a PS4 price drop to 350$ at E3.

From their perspective, internal battery backs fade quickly and eventually you have a DoA controller. I get a large amount of playtime from Eneloops and the play and charge kit. The DS4 gets around 7 hours of charge, due to the LED and when you need to keep using it you must plug in rather than swap out. Over time the DS4 battery pack will continue to degrade.

If I follow this path, any recommendations on where to get a high quality, high capacity, inexpensive external?

Just $50 million -- to add the jack.

They increased the price on the controller I see....
if microsoft is going to put audio jacks on the new controllers how about they fucking do USB headset support.....its about time they do.
So sick of having a cord run to a controller for just chat audio. I can be completely wireless on the PS4....but Xbox you HAVE to use the controller audio port just for chat.

Hmmm, wow @ price difference. It's 449.99 Eur in Spain and I guess rest of Europe, too expensive imo

I use something like this.

Its powered by the USB 3.0, and all you to is move all your games to the external drive and make sure the console installs all games there going forward. You can go for a much faster drive or a larger one, but it is your call on price point.
If you want to go to a buddies house and play your games, you just unplug the drive. Plug it into his console and then sign in. Voila, you have your entire library there.
Yeah. I have Eneloops for my controller and it's been just fine, i never liked internal batteries. I am tempted to trade in my current box for the new Matte finish, i really hate gloss.

Heh, I'm 32 with a baby on the way and I live in the suburbs. The days of going over to a friends house to play games is over so that's not a major driver for me. lol
If you format the HDD to save Xbox games, you can't use it for anything else, right? Or can I save PC files elsewhere on the HDD?
Thanks for the recommendation, btw.
Hmm, I noticed that earlier but I can't seem to find the pictures of the underside anymore.
My concern is whether or not it's like...offset a little that would make the headset adapter not fit correctly.
Eh, I'll find out soon enough.
edit:
oh, thanks. Yeah, that looks pretty center.

I need to see the console in person because it sounds good.
This is definitely huge for new consumers. Definitely a choice I wish was available first when I got the titanfall bundle

Wait so they aren't lowering the price of the current model to $300 and debuting the new SKU at $350? I just assumed that was the plan as it is the most logical given the market reality for them currently which necessitates lower price points than their direct competitor.
Honestly, can't believe they are buckling down on the $399 msrp again. It's been painfully clear consumers don't see it offering a comparable value to the competing platform at the same price point. If their competitor announces a significant price drop for their 500gb model that is going to completely deflate any sales momentum their new 1tb model would have afforded them.

They have always been like this in the past (Sony too)... until the 500GB models sell out then they will lower 1TB to $350, prob during this xmas or after.
They had an opportunity to generate some momentum with the announcement though. Instead the price point potentially makes it DoA especially when the competition will likely announce their first price drop relatively soon.
The matte finish will look boring and not very nice in person. Especially considering the grille on the right is still polished.I need to see the console in person because it sounds good.

If it were all matte, it'd be at least uniform.
