Same here. DS4 is my favorite controller. My only problem is that the thumb sticks wear out eventually. I realize there's a method of replacing them yourself but I'm lousy with electronics and screwed it up trying it. I'm on my 4th and 5th DS4 controllers as a result. Wish they'd correct this problem with more durable thumb sticks.

I'm at about 1.5 years and minimum several hundred hours of play on my one DS4 and still like brand new, so I'll count my blessings I suppose

If the DS4 had the individual motorized triggers like the X1 controller has, it would be the perfect controller to me.

Don't worry I thought I was lucky like you but once I hit the 2 year mark with my two DS4s it went downhill.

the thing I don't like most about the wii u pro controller is the quality and weight, and judging from the pictures, it looks like they fixed that with switch pro controller (the material of the grips, for example)

Does anyone know the difference between the two different listings on Amazon for ARMS?

[ChadFL]

The one good thing about the Switch - few if any of those stupid $70-90 "season passes" for games. When you buy a Nintendo game you generally buy the whole game and don't get nickel and dimed on expansions and DLC.

Unless it's Smash Bros.

If it's a scientific poll 3,000 is more than enough to get an extremely accurate result. Not sure if it is though.

Fair point.

The sticker price at 299.99 USD feels right to me, however I do think they should've included 1-2 Switch as a pack in. Also I feel like the accessories are about 10.00 -15.00 overpriced. Some of the games seem overpriced to me as well. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe should be a 49.99 game. Super Bomberman R should be a 39.99 game. I Am Setsuna should be a 19.99 game.

I feel £280 is too expensive and a game should be included with it, even if its 1-2 Switch. That doesnt even seem like a game, more a tech demo on how to use the controller

I dont know if anyone's seen this but the design of the Switch looks very similar to this machine (if not exactly like it, in fact) from 2 years or so ago:

I think the Switch is overpriced here. In Japan it's only $261.55 based on current conversation rates. (29,980 yen)

Agree with this. To hell with a controller costing $80. I wouldn't mind so much if one or both Joy-Con had a d-pad but since I'll probably plunk some money into the VC I don't want to use an analog stick so they're forcing my hand there.
