I was looking up PC controller prices and found this... $136 off?! $136 WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE IF THAT WERE THE ENTIRE PRICE, LET ALONE $735.

I don't care if it's made of fucking unicorn farts, why the fuck should it be that expensive?

Also aparently xbox controllers are now like $250. Who the fuck is paying more than $50 for a controller lmao wtf has gaming become.

Fuck that noise, I don't care if it performs like shit, I'm buying a shitty ali express controller for $10 instead lmao.

Gamers delenda est. :gamer-gulag:

    Uhhh those hadphones are 350 not 735, still bad though

    for like 100 bucks, 200 bucks originally, you can get the coolest headset I have ever owned, the Razer Nari Ultimate. It's a "haptic" headset. It's amazing for about 90% of games & music that have strong bass.

    Like ok, when you shoot your gun and it plays that bass, the sharp change from no bass to bass is automatically translated to physical movement of the heaphones. They literally shake and jolt. It is a LOT like wearing earmuffs at a firing range. It's fucking wild. It feels like backblast is hitting you. The best game for it I have played is Insurgency. It is actually sort of scary to shoot guns with that thing on.

    Some audio is bad for it though, certain low constant variable rumbling sounds will just make it shake moderately all the time for no real reason- it's not intelligent, it just reacts to the sound. You can adjust the haptic amount pretty easily and on the fly though, and still get a light tap when strong sounds happen, without triggering haptics from whatever rumbling sound is playing.

        Ah no what I mean is that this site is jackin' em up, I googled them and they are much cheaper everywhere else. Seems like a scam/dropship site or something

            OHHHHHH

            Okay correction, Australia is a scam site,

            In the US those headphones go for the equivalent 519 AUD with no sale. :sadness:

                Tax is included in Australia right?

                Including tax, that means that the American price is between 519-591 AUD depending on the state.

                So really it's back to being a gamer scam, rather than an oz scam

                  That gets it closer but those things were never the equivalent of 735 AUD here in the US
