Wireless or Wired

[RollerCoasterRider]

If you were to buy extra controllers, would they be wireless, wired, or both ?

I think I want a wired controller, because next year when I get my computer, I will hopefully be able to use it on the 360, as well as the computer.

[ZeFrenchy16]

Wireless, it has to be!

The ability to throw your pad off the wall without fear of a wire getting caught sounds fantastic. :D

[WACCOE]

Definately Wireless. Now there'll be no danger of my Console dropping off my shelf and onto my floor :D

[Ryan]

Wireless! A dream come true :D

[die2nite]

Wired so I can use it on my computer :)

[Unleash-the-Fire-Inside]

Wired. So I dont have to buy batteries.

[Domfunkle]

I'm DEFINATELY getting the wireless controller...otherwise there;s just no novelty...but I will be getting the charge and play thingy too...so I guess you could say I'm going for both..

[AxlRoseMKII]

well im getting wireless so u wont trip on cables and the deal im getting coems with an extra wireless controller

[Moria]

Wireless! A dream come true :D

The dreams already come true for me, the Wavebird is honestly the best controller ever made.

I'll definitely be getting wireless, I don't know how the wires get so tangled with my Xbox controllers at the moment, but they are always really tangled up.

[Ample]

Wavebird pfft, nothing compared to the 360 OWNAGE controller!!!

[Skullmeister]

:geek: Wireless of course!

[AfroJoe]

Wireless.

I love my Wavebird controller on the Gamecube. If I'd bought 4 this time, things would have been so much tidier. :D I would have been a lot poorer, though, so I didn't.

Should be doing so this time around, though.

[Jack25]

Definately wireless, but don't you need batteries for them?

[AfroJoe]

Yeah, but they can go for long periods of time without having to be replaced.

I think I've charged/replaced my Wavebird batteries about 4 times ever, and I've had the thing for well over a year. Used it a fair amount of well.

So all you have to do is buy 8 rechargable batteries and you're set for a couple of years at least. :D

[Killer 57]

wired, only because im not going to use it htaht much, only when me and my bro play co-op or something.

[DaGaz101]

Definetly wirless there just to cool to miss. Also if your that bothered about batteries just spend like five quid more on the good recargable ones. :party: :geek: :geek:

[Rohaq]

Wireless and a plug & charge kit, definitely :)

[33% God]

I like the wireless but I don't want to have to pay even MORE money for batteries constantly and a play and charge kit. I already paid almost $500 for a console and game so I really don't want to buy this too. Plus there's an XBox live subscription and now we have to pay for extra content that used to be free on Xbox with the Marketplace.

Microsoft really wants to milk us gamers for all we're worth and they arent getting anything extra out of me. Are they going to make us pay for games we can play free on the PC like Bejewled and Poker over Xbox Arcade too? I honestly would not be surprised.

Looks like the only one with consumers still in mind is Nintendo.

[Killer 57]

I think its too early to know what there going to sell for free and what there going to charge. Im sure things like skins, avatars, trailers, demos and themes for free and then they will charge premium content such as new maps,cars and things like that.

[smileemptysoul]

wired= cheaper
cheaper= having more money

[kevnufc]

Wireless purely because the bundle I've pre-ordered has 2 wireless controllers. Shouldn't need anymore :P

[mrfoot67]

i pre-ordered a bundle tht comes with 2 wired controlers but im gettin a wireless one for christmas :party:

[smileemptysoul]

when u use a wireless there is a slight delay, not much but that was the diffrence between me betting my brother and lossing in madden. ****ing wireless

It all better be free and marketplace better be used for selling user created content. A $50 subscription should be well enough to give us free content. With Xbox Live I got the Halo2 maps,new levels in Splinter Cell,planes for Crimson Skies and much more free with my subscription.

Totalt agree also you could sit wether you wanted,lol

No need for that, i'll just be buying the play and charge kit, only £ 12.99. :)

[AfroJoe]

Ok, the battery idea has been thrown out the window.

Cheers. :D

[SNK]

Wireless, of course. I mean, where's the fun in throwing the controller out the window and failing just because some crappy wire holds it back? :D

[Cocanuta]

im going to wireless, but with the charge and play kit. Because otherwize i will go through allot of batteries :p

[(JD)XeqtioneR]

I gotz two kids, so not having wires for them to come and trip over and possbily hurt themselves, or god forbid the 360, lol, is the way to go for me! I just bought a wireless controller today at Target! I got pics of it :)

[Pumpk1n]

For 10 extra bucks, why not go wireless. Much better and much more comfortable.

[shnizzle66]

Wireless controllers.......Because they always get tangled up and look ugly. Thing is you might lose them like the TV remote, lol. I think Microsoft should have put a "page" thing like most home phones...so you don't lose itand if you do, it will beep until you press the X button.

[Tauren]

i am getting the wireless witht eh console then buying a second wired controller, cause i am spending enough money on the console and games as is!

[Outlaw]

Definetly Wireless Because I Have Bought The Premium Pack And Ya Get 1 With It

P.S My M8 Jam Man Uk Is Getting Wireless Aswell

[ian_tycoon]

One wired, one wireless then see if get more.

[mjmaskrey]

I'm getting 1 wireless with the premium kit but 2nd will be a wired one...going to play a game and find dead batteries in controller will annoy the hell outta me so at least I could stick the wired one in if that happens.

[Killer 57]

You can avoid this problem by buying a play and charge kit.

[RollerCoasterRider]

I want to get a play and charge kit, but with that money I could buy another wired controller.....

It might be worth it in the long run though.

$20 bucks is not that much plus you will save alot of money not having to buy batteries all the time. ;)

[RollerCoasterRider]

Oh, my bad.

For some reason I thought it was 40 bucks. :brow

I might buy one for sure now once a lot of stores get them in stock.

[Dcontrol]

First I would have said wired (as I'm so used to it) but now I've come around to the wireless way of thinking so wireless for me. Getting lazier in my old age.

[Dcontrol]

I would definitely recommend the wireless option here as I've found it to be a much better gaming experience. It feels a lot better without a wire and it reacts just as well as a wired pad IMO. Charge and play kit recommended.

[Fleeboi]

Definatley get the Charge and Play kit or a seperate battery recharger as the batteries tend to run low after around 15 hours of playing, also, if you have got the wireless pad, I recommend turning it off when you leave the room for something, you can do this by holding the X in the middle for about 3 seconds, and instead of selecting the option to turn the Xbox off turn off the controller until you come back.

[Will_90]

Definately Wireless for me. Wires always annoy me. Especially the original Xbox ones with the connector wire in the middle. because everytime i'd go a little to far away it would rip out ant i'd lose my fight againt the boss of Dead or alive 3 and it would always happen when im fighting to the boss so damn wires in my opinion

[RiLu@]

i will buy a wired one because then i can use it on my pc, maybe two, NES, SNES and GAMEBOY emulators are fun to play.

[AfroJoe]

Got my rechargeable batteries now.

Excellenté.

[ian_tycoon]

1 more wireless for me next, to even the balance to 2 of each.

[Benj]

I've got 2 wired ones at the moment, so definately getting wireless next.

[AfroJoe]

Yeah, they're much better.

The one minor problem, though, is that it only seems to have about half the battery life my Gamecube Wavebird had.

Meh, I've got rechargeables now, so that doesn't matter any more. :D

[RollerCoasterRider]

Well.....I guess I changed my mind and bought the wireless.

I was at EB, and started thinking about what computer gamesI would use the wired controller on, and decided that I don't have many games it would even work for and wireless is a lot more convinient.

[WACCOE]

OMG! wireless controllers are sold out everywhere where I live, gutted :( - Really need another one aswell as 1 aint really enough.

[SEMERKHET]

Wireless for me too, i have a wired one at the moment and people keep tripping over the wire while i'm in the middle of a game.

[jks]

wireless all the way :), well i might get a wired one just to work with the pc - lol

[WACCOE]

Woooo...Just got a 2nd Wireless one, had to get it off eBay though as it SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE!!!

:D

[backin-strachan]

Thinking about a Lan Card but for now I am using a borrowed adapter and using a connection of someone in the street.

[NickMack]

Wired is comfier, but i preffer the wireless, its just easier.

[WACCOE]

2nd wireless controller arrived today, woooo. :cool:
