    Does anyone use a non official microsoft controller?. mine has packed it in after spilling a drink onto it.

    45 quid for a replacement is a hard sell to the wife this month!!

    I don't use any, but you can buy cheap, non branded stuff from www.dealextreme.com.

    I've only bought small stuff like bike lights off them, but have been tempted by the controllers. I'm not sure how it works, are they midnight runs, copies of the moulds, etc. Generally only buy things that have a few reviews, as a lot of them seem to follow the pattern of "bought one, didn't work, luckily I bought 2 as they were so cheap".

    Heard somewhere a while back if you ring up Microsoft and tell them your analogue sticks wont respond anymore they will send you a new controller for free!!

    Dont know how true it is but worth a shot methinks :D

    HMV Limerick (prob all stores) had a 1/2 price basket with some xbox accessories had a few generic controllers in there too. If memory serves me correctly it was around 17 euro..ish.

    Think game-stop do 2nd hand ones too might be worth a look
