(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best xbox one games, consoles & accessories

hey you dont need a kinect but its awesome.


here is the xbox italian guy on roof edition.


its 350 but doesn't have a kinect and comes with 2 assassins creed games.

there is no bioshock (the underwater game yet out on xbox.) try castle of wolfenstein he might like that.

batman isnt out till june.

if he likes red dead redemption (cowboy assassin) get him grand theft auto five.


what other games does he like maybe i can point you in the right direction? does he like racing if so pick up forza horizon 2. its amazing.


does he have friends already with xboxes?

edit 1

too play with friends online he will need xbox live gold subscription. but he prolly already has one on 360. Dragon age inquisition is the best rpg, but there is a free one called neverwinter releasing at the end of the month.

edit 2

shawdow of mordor is also like assassin creed but it is Lord of the rings. so if he like lords of the rings pick this up its very good.

edit 3

take the xbox out and install all the updates for him, that way he can play it right away. depending on the speed of your internet it can take a day to install a digital game, like the assassins creed that comes with the bundle. come back here and I will walk you through it.

>It is. Which is why i dont agree with people bitching about how "slow" the switches hardware is. If the games on it are good (which they are), why the fuck does it matter?

Dead Cells is a fine example of why it matters.

It's a great game if you have even the most remote interest in Metroidvanias. It runs like shit on the Switch. The crappy framerates of the game significantly impact the gameplay in a game where careful timing and reflexes are required.

>I have a 3ds. While yes, they have good games, most of them are clerly designed to be purely portable games. Not to mention the fact that with my large hands, i find holding the 3ds for longer than 10 minuets at a time to be very uncomfortable. Which is why the switch is better. Not only is it more comfortable in hand held, not only can i have multiple controller options, but i can dock it and play it on my TV as well.

They make grip cases for both the Switch and the 3DS that significantly improve their feel. My hands hurt holding either of them outside their cases. For the Switch, I recommend the Satisfye grip although the Skull and Co Gripcase is a close second. For the 3ds, I personally use the Monster Hunter Cross that I've modded with a rubberized grip. This is a pretty expensive option, however, so there are cheaper ones for people who don't want to invest that much.

>Exactly. And my PC does PC things and is a superior gaming machine to my Switch. But most games that i can play on one or the other, most time, i prefer the switch. I have emulators on my phone as well. But id still rather have those games on the switch because its a better platform for gaming than a Phone is.

I disagree. I use a cheap little xbox controller phone clip to hold my phone when I game. The controller connects bluetooth and provides a generally superior experience to gaming with my Switch. My phone has better audio, a better screen, and a more powerful processor. It also has free cloud saves and can connect to the internet without wifi (anbd has a superior wifi antennae).

>Ill take the taller screen, but even that said.. your arguing over .2" as if its a huge deal. Its not.

No, it's not. The OLED vs LED is though.

>like the way higher initial costs for a somewhat useable gaming

What do you consider usable? Because it doesn't actually take much to hit 30fps at 1080p which is what most console games run at. It is expensive to run the latest games at the highest possible settings at high resolutions but if your target is just a "console like experience" it is not true that a PC is more expensive they are very comparable in fact.

Here let me build you a PC

Graphics Card (280 after rebate)

Ram (50)

Motherboard (60 after rebate)

CPU (160)

HDD (48)

Mouse + Keyboard (15 after rebate and discount code)

Case (30 after rebate and discount code)

PSU (20)

Total Price - $623 compare that to the price of an XBOX ONE X (399 489 on sale). For $224 134 more you get a gaming pc that can play any game released in 2018 on ultra high and get 60+fps at 1080p which is more than a console can claim, and that is not even including the fact that you now have a good PC and PCs do a fuckload more than just play videogames.


Now take out $200 (buy an older GPU/CPU) and you can build a PC that matches the capabilities of a console. Playing games on medium/high (which is what consoles run) at 1080p and 30fps.

Also that PC has room for improvement throughout the years of ownership. It can use an SSD and another 8 gig stick of ram and more HDD storage. Possibly even aftermarket fans to put on the CPU to overclock it.

The ONLY advantage that consoles have over PC is exclusive titles that never get released outside of that particular console. And even that eventually becomes false because it is only a matter of time until every console can be emulated on PC.

Edit: Also you can add $60 to the price of the Xbox because if you want to play multiplayer you need xbox live. So really its $160 more. This also doesn't include the fact that no storefront can even come close to matching the sales during steam summer sales. Let's be super conservative and say you save $30 a year on steam sales for games that you wanted to buy, so that puts us down to $130 more than an Xbox One X while having higher graphical capabilities and also having the benefit of being a PC and not just a console that plays games/streams netflix.

For start, turn off any and all forms of auto-aiming where possible, as it's inconsistent in different games and really only helps if you're very casual and have blocks for hands. Start your aiming sensitivity on a lowish setting, then increase it by a notch every few games until you're at the highest one you can comfortably snipe with.

Also do yourself a favour and get yourself a pair of Xbone analogue stick caps and put them in your DualShock 4. It's very cheap and easy to do, sticks and instructions here:
https://www.amazon.com/Original-Black-Xbox-Controller-Analogue-Thumbsticks/dp/B00JQX91HU
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/DualShock+4+Analog+Stick+Covers+Replacement/22675

Say what you will about Microsoft, but they understand gamepad ergonomics far better than Sony do... the reason that the left stick is high on their controllers is because that's a more natural resting position for your thumb that causes less strain when pressing the stick forward for long periods of time, which is what you're doing in most games, most of the time. Getting Xbone caps won't give you that but it will give you the other smart little touches they added.

Look at this photo and note the differences between those sticks and the default ones:
http://i.imgur.com/SJCIyVB.jpg

Concaves: it's harder to pull something than to push it, and pulling something without a proper grip is even harder again. You get a proper grip by applying force perpendicular to the object you're pulling, not sliding parallel against the sides. The convex stick tops that Sony uses ensures that there's always a degree of sliding against it, which is obviously not as effective as getting a proper hold into a concave like you can in the Xbone sticks.

Ledge: there's also a hard "ledge" at the outer edge of the concave that makes sure your finger doesn't slip off the stick, as opposed to the soft bump that allows more slippage on Sony's sticks.

Textured edges: these are there to ensure that you have as much grip as possible while moving he stick up and down, as your thumb doesn't push/pull from directly below or above the stick, but off to the side at an angle. While Sony's sticks have a texture too, the softer blunt bumps found on it will never allow as much grip as the harder sharp texture on MS's sticks.

You're probably thinking these are tiny things that won't make a difference to your aiming, but in terms of ergonomics, those little things all work together to make a pretty big difference. Try the yoga mission in GTA V with both sets of sticks and it'll become very obvious which ones allow a better, more precise grip.

With respect to Xbox 360 instruments working on the Xbox One, you are thinking of the Mad Catz Legacy Game Adapter. You can get one here.

https://www.amazon.com/Mad-Catz-Rock-Band-Controller/dp/B01541ACLQ

Rock Band 4 (physical game disc) for the Xbox One previously came with said adapter but the original Rock Band 4 Band in the Box bundle for the Xbox One did not.

Nowadays, it is wise, as you said to buy Rock Band Rivals. That is an expansion to Rock Band 4 which contains a Rivals competitive mode and Rockudrama, a VH1-like storytelling career mode (separate from the existing Tour Mode already in Rock Band 4). You can purchase a digital copy of Rock Band 4 along with the Rivals expansion on the Xbox store (IIRC $60), or you can purchase different Rock Band Rivals bundles, including one with just a guitar and the game (along with the expansion) or one with a microphone, drum set, and the game (along with the expansion).

• https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Rivals-Kit-Xbox-One/dp/B01IANW1JQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1479830620&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=rock+band+rivals&psc=1
  
• https://www.amazon.com/Rivals-Wireless-Fender-Jaguar-Bundle-PlayStation/dp/B01IANW08I/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1479830620&sr=1-2&keywords=rock%2Bband%2Brivals&th=1
  
  There is one more caveat though, and that's with the Legacy Adapter. The Legacy adapter only supports wireless instruments, and for the Xbox One, there currently isn't a way to use wired Xbox 360 instruments for the Xbox One. This includes Guitar Hero controllers like the Gibson Xplorer (Guitar Hero 2), and the Rock Band 1 instruments. However, the ION Drum Rocker and the Mad Catz MIDI Pro Adapter is now compatible with the Xbox One using the following adapter. This is important for really high-level drummers.
  
  https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Rock-Band-Wired-Legacy-Adapter/dp/B01MDJWJH9/ref=pd_sim_63_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01MDJWJH9&pd_rd_r=V85A4CRWGYH39RCM59NX&pd_rd_w=P0QWw&pd_rd_wg=WISBa&psc=1&refRID=V85A4CRWGYH39RCM59NX
  
  Therefore, if you wish to go the Xbox 360 route, you would have to buy the Legacy Adapter (first link), the Rock Band Rivals game (likely digitally), and then you can buy your 360 instruments. Otherwise, a full band bundle would also work. You can also combine legacy instruments and Xbox One instruments as well, although from experience the latency between them is different so you may run into issues here.
  
  I hope this helps.

All six of OPs games were new releases.

Assassin's Creed: Unity - Huh, Amazon discounted this one for some reason though. Save $10.10.

Grand Theft Auto V - Save $0.03! Wow, what a deal.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Save a whole $3.16!

Far Cry 4 - Exact same Price

Halo: The Master Chief Collection - Save another $0.03!

Sunset Overdrive Even better! Save a whole $0.96!

New releases are priced the same in the US. Old games, yeah, I agree it gets ridiculous. But, new releases are the same - with a few exceptions here and there depending on retailer incentives (like AC:U above).

I'm not getting ripped off by paying $0.03 more for Halo or AC:U. I paid the same price you did.

Any Xbox compatible 3.5mm Jack headset can be used with the official Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. They are about £16 ($20?) on Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-Xbox-Stereo-Headset-Adapter/dp/B00I41H7US/). This plugs into the rectangular port on the bottom of the controller, and gives you mute, chat / game balance, and volume up / down buttons. It's very simple to use, and gives you full control over the volume balance for game and chat.

You can also get aftermarket pads from PDP, which have a 3.5mm socket for any Xbox compatible headset with a 3.5mm Jack, and they have a special dedicated button by the right thumb stick, which when double tapped, mutes the mic, and when held down, turns the D-Pad into a volume up / down and chat / game balance control.

This is what I use, and it is so easy to adjust game and chat volume on the fly, I'm actually surprised MS don't do something similar - it's such an intuitive way of doing it. One thing though, is that I don't know whether PDP do a wireless pad with this feature, (I'd have to google it) as the ones I've seen on Amazon are wired (as is mine). They are only about £35 / $40 or less though, and the cable means the controller is light, and never runs out of battery! :D

Edit - Had a look and can't find a wireless version, but this is the one I have, and I am very pleased with it, cable is nice and long, and fits securely. It feels a bit different to a regular controller, some things better, some things worse. The home button is much easier to use, but the triggers are flatter. Buy from Amazon with free delivery and try it? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Afterglow-Prismatic-Wired-Controller-Xbox-x/dp/B00ZJRHSRW/

depends, where are your friends at? There is no doubt more people playing on PS4, and the PS4 pro does have better visuals than XboX but aside from that they're the same.


I want it on PC but I'll probably stick to xbox for a while since that's where my friends are. And destiny is best played with friends.


Not to mention the Xbox One S is starting at like $250

Yeah that would be nice, but I think Windows 10 Mobile is the closest we'll probably ever get to that (though there are some tablets with a controller built in that support full Windows 10) I think.

I've got one of these for my Lumia 950XL: http://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Smart-Clip-Xbox-One/dp/B00FLLFM0Q and it is pretty cool.

I hope we get a lot more xbox enabled games with controller support for Windows 10 mobile than what is available now, but it is nice that something exists at all at least.

link

and for those interested, pay attention to the amazon warehouse deals for this. this is their most popular e-kit, so a lot of them show up as used, with various issues, but mostly cosmetic ones.

the kit I ordered was $240 and listed as 'good' condition. they claimed the kit would have multiple minor blemishes, but outside of the box having a few dents, the kit appeared to be in pristine condition. (but ymmv)

it may seem like a good jump from the roughly $140 you'd pay for the stock kit with cymbals, but you end up getting a fully customizable kit you can setup in whatever way you want, and you have something that is actually build to be beat on.

also remember you'll need to buy the madcatz midi pro adapter (~$25) to get this working, and xbox users need to get the upcoming pdp adapter to get it to work with rb4. ($30) since I saved $60 on the set like I mentioned above, this sort of made the adapters free.

EDIT: amazon has a musical instrument promotion right now. MISAVE10 gets you 10% off this kit. not sure how long it'll last.

I highly, highly recommend HyperX Pros. They are super comfortable for long gaming sessions (I've had problems with similarly-priced Turtle Beach and MS cans in the past). Also, the faux leather pads feel great. I switched them out for the foam ones a few months back so I can hear my girlfriend when she's in the room. Haha! Also, they're "cooler" for summer weather.

I do have to say, though, you'll probably want to cop a Turtle Beach adapter if you go with Hyper X, which will up the total cost considerably. The Turtle Beach comes with mic. monitoring. I can't even remember if Hyper X monitoring is supported through the Xbox dash. But they don't come with an adapter. I like having the controls right there in my hands versus the dash. And TB mic monitoring is much better.

https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Headset-Controller-Superhuman-Hearing/dp/B00PWRYKDE/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=turtle%2Bbeach%2Badapter%2Bxbox&qid=1573067683&s=electronics&sr=1-3&th=1

Hands down the best headset I have ever owned is the turtle beach stealth 500x. They are amazing. 100% wireless, great sound, 3 levels of mic monitoring and tons of other features with presets and things. Ear muffs are kinda stiff for my liking so I removed them and put the cushions from my x41's on. Much softer feel. Battery lasts about 4-5 days when its been fully charged and that playing like 4-5 hours a night on avg. I also use them to watch TV when not playing games they are that great!

> Again, $250 was a very specific anecdotal example. I'm pretty sure the $250 tag is for used Xbox Ones.

On Amazon.com, a brand new Xbox One S is $249.99 USD. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-S-500GB/dp/B01MTJA6EV/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1506356455&sr=1-2&keywords=xbox%2Bone&th=1

At Best Buy, you can get one that includes a game as well for the same price: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-xbox-one-s-500gb-madden-nfl-18-bundle-with-4k-ultra-hd-blu-ray-white/5996001.p?skuId=5996001

> Maybe at that price point it is rougher but its still probably more worth your time to save more, spend another summer working summer jobs, etc for the better experience.

Better is completely subjective. Many people prefer to game from their living room couch and the sheer performance capacity of a PC is simply not important to them (yes, you can hook a PC up to a TV in the living room, but using the mouse/keyboard to navigate the OS to get to the game would be nearly impossible and/or require a specific kind of controller that is another expense).

Are you using your TV speakers? I recall in the recommended setup / positioning for the kinect they recommend not placing it directly in front of your speakers, which your picture seems to imply. It also looks like it is at or under the minimum recommended height from your floor. I had my positioned much like yours and felt it didn't hear me / see me as good as it should. I purchased this mount (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FYMTUQY) as a test and greatly improved the area of view of the device and feel like it hears voice commands better.

Get it from Amazon here! for $20 off at the moment digital copy with windows 10 and xbox one support great deal. Great game.
It will save your progress on Xbone and windows 10

Don't mind you asking at all!

It's a combination of 3.5 mm aux cables and adapters. My headset set-up also easily works with a ModMic5 (what I now use at work with my 1000XM2 headphones). If you need pictures I can share some links.

Cable management is key so that this doesn't become a crazy mess of wires, but for all the parts in play I set this up very cleanly.

If you want better mic monitoring, higher audio output, and chat/game audio balancing from the Xbox One controller (use just stereo audio, no virtual surround sound) you can add in the Turtle Beach Headset Audio Controller Plus ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PWRYKDE/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_f1J0CbG4W43H4).

​

1. Connect the TRRS extentionsion to the Xbox One Controller (with the Turtle Beach Headset Audio Controller Plus if you have one).
   
2. Connect the TRRS headset splitter to the TRRS extension cable.
   
3. Plug the Male to male aux in the headphone jack on the splitter and into your external amp input.
   
4. Plug male to female 3.5 mm aux extension into the amp output.
   
5. Plug the headphones into the 3.5 mm aux extension from the amp.
   
6. Connect the ModMic into the mic input port on the TRRS headset splitter.
   
   ​
   
   As you set this all up I recommend intertwining the cables or using some cable clips like those that come with the ModMic to make it clean.

I use this:

CTA Digital Multi-Function Carrying Case - Xbox One https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I902D7Q/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_x1hLwbZF8RQ95

Nice and sturdy, not too big, everything, including the Xbox fits snug so it feels secure, and the grip is a joy on my hands. Seriously great since I go to my friends a town over to game all the time.

I don't know about Playstation controllers, but I use a 3rd party Xbox 360 controller that works well:

https://www.amazon.com/Afterglow-AX-1-Controller-Xbox-360-Blue/dp/B003ITY98O

If you prefer the feel of the Xbox one controller, they make it as well:

https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Afterglow-Prismatic-Wired-Controller-Xbox/dp/B00ZJRHSRW/ref=sr_1_1?srs=3038123011&ie=UTF8&qid=1483457064&sr=8-1&keywords=afterglow+controller+xbox+one

I personally like the Afterglow controllers because they're well built, proportioned correctly, and feel good in the hands. Also, the annoying glow effect can be disabled...there's a button on the back side that changes modes from on constantly, flashing /w rumble, or off completely.

get something like this and a couple of these for the controllers and it becomes a really awesome setup. Well, it's already awesome, just needs some tidying up.

Like anything there is no agreed upon "best".

None of which might fit great now that the rubber on your controller is actually falling apart. Might require some hot glue or something else if you want them to stay in place.

A lot of people eventually switch to xbox style sticks, not just because the material doesn't fall apart but because it's actually a much better design. These compared to the DS4 sticks is night and day in terms of control and your thumb not sliding all over the place.

http://www.amazon.com/GAMING%C2%AE-Original-Xbox-Controller-Analogue-Thumbsticks/dp/B00JQX91HU/

Not that hard to install. Hardest thing about taking the controller apart is getting the shell separated for the first time and the fact that the triggers and springs might fall out, so just work on a clean table where you'll be able to find the little springs. Watch videos on how to take it apart.

Is this for a phone? If so, have a PS4 or Xbox One controller? Just get a phone clip. I don't use my PS4 controller via Bluetooth, so I can't attest to that, but my X1 controller is just perfect. Especially now that I got a phone clip for it. My Note 10+ fits perfectly.

PS4: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQ0BGOL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_pF7HDbWN0TY5P

X1: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DQBPH15/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yJ7HDbYD8FJ85

Yes, but I want to offer a specific detail about this that angers some people.

You can only be signed into one account per wireless legacy adapter and the wired legacy adapter only supports one controller anyway.

That is important if you have a sibling, significant other, or anyone else who wants to be on a different account at the same time with different Xbox 360 instruments. Only one of you can earn achievements, contribute xp, etc.

Yes that will also work, but you will additionally need the PDP Wired Legacy Adapter to connect the MIDI adapter to the XB1. There is a list of supported drums on the Amazon page for the MIDI adapter, and the same list is in the manual. But that list is old, and almost everything on it has been replaced with a newer version. Pretty much any drum kit with a standard 5-pin MIDI out should be fine.

Edit - Link to PDP adapter: https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Rock-Band-Wired-Legacy-Adapter/dp/B01MDJWJH9

I'm on Xbox and previously used bumper jumper. But I recently bought this and mapped the right paddle to jump and left for reload. I use puppeteer and switched the bumpers in the Xbox controller settings so melee is LB and grenade is RB. Now I can skate/jump pretty well, shadestep/slide/TG, aim my super better, and melee quickly after firing.

Really the only downside is I can't wombo combo (smoke/grenade) too fast or else I'll activate my super.

It's this type of headset and here are some pictures of it. As for Destiny it's this edition and basically new but it doesn't have the codes. I installed the disc so it's in prime condition. Let me know if you'd like to proceed with the sale or you would like some more pictures :)

I bought This two pack OTG adapter and stuck a 1ft usb cable on and bundled it up with a velcro loop. http://imgur.com/MKxD6p4
 
Unfortunately the Xbox One controller has no driver support in Android. when I connect my controller to my Nvidia Tablet, the controller shows up using a USB Device Info app, but does not function within Android. it does work with Moonlight Streaming because they have a specially built driver.
 
When I connect my controller to my Oneplus One on CM13, the controller fails to show up at all.
 
If you DO get it to work with your phone, I highly highly recommend tracking down a Nyko Smart Clip. It works with every version of the xbox controller, and it expands wide enough to hold 7in tablets. However it has been out of production for a couple years so prices are inflated. I was able to find one at my nearest Frys electronics for 10 bucks.
 
For emulation on my phone I use a MadCatz CTRLR, and for Nvidia streaming around the house I use my tablet mounted on my xbox elite controller:

Xbox and Tablet
Phone and Madcatz
 
Also note that the newest xbox controller has bluetooth built in. some people have had success with it, I did not at all. if you want to try it, buy from amazon or somehwere that takes returns

CTA Digital makes one that's inexpensive and perfect for the Xbox One and One S. there's a zipping pouch for the Kinect that fits the power brick and cables perfect, and it has room for at least 1 controller. If you have the One S then you just get extra storage without a power brick. I've used it for a year and traveled with it a lot. Perfect for the car or on a plane as your personal item. Amazon Link

The XB1S controllers have a 3.5mm jack that works with any headset. I use a HyperX Cloud 2 and love the hell out of it. It's easily the best headset I've ever used and is under $100.

https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-S-500GB-Console/dp/B01MTJA6EV/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1502314728&sr=1-3&keywords=xbox+one+s

Also, this is a much better deal for an XB1S. It's a system with 4 games for $250. Just get an external for all your games :)

I think you'd be better off buying a carrying case and portable monitor, separately. The quality of the products is going to be better individually, as is the price. Plus, you'll have better luck with defects/returns if you stick with name-brands; can't say I've heard much about "Gaems" outside of these all-in-one cases.

Have you owned the Afterglow Controller? I'd be curious how they compare. I just bought this controller and it's so much better than the original xbox one controller. The build quality is amazing, the buttons, bumpers, and triggers all feel far superior to me.

Hopefully it makes it to you before Christmas! I asked about the charger, but my local store didn't have them in stock, so I am not sure if you are able to get that offer also.

I just got the 500 gig model with Gears of War. I picked up Halo 5 from Target today for $45 and ordered Destiny the Taken King off of Amazon for like $31. I got Black Ops 3 around a week ago for $30 when the Microsoft store ran it on sale, but GameStop has it for $40 right now. They also have Batman Arkham Knight for $20 and it comes with a pretty cool action figure for free.

Did you pick up any other games? I spent way too much money, but it should keep me occupied for a while.

The pc is as cheap as a console, has an OS, can run modern games at 1080p60 at at least console grade settings and set up should be as easy as sliding the side panel off, clicking the gpu in place and installing the nvidia drivers. (wich is just spamming next)

Other benefits are: free online, upgradability, cheaper games, etc. (those and more are listed in the post above)

Good Luck!!!

Extra $200? The Sunset Overdrive bundle is the same price as a standard Xbox One ($350). The only difference is that it comes with Sunset Overdrive for free, and it's white.

Bundles I'd recommend: Halo MCC Bundle, Assassin's Creed Unity/Black Flag Bundle (with kinect), Advanced Warfare Bundle (1tb hard drive), and Sunset Overdrive Bundle.

Edit: It seems like the price of the Sunset Overdrive bundle and the Advanced Warfare bundle went up significantly because of low stock on Amazon. They are normally $350 and $450 respectively. If you want either of these bundles, I recommend looking at sellers other than Amazon until they replenish their stock.

my very first search that took me 5 seconds was $476 : https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-X-1TB-Console/dp/B074WPGYRF . I am positive i can find cheaper. and let's not even discuss the probability of them being cheaper on black friday. Plus this entire conversation is based on the $385 in taco bell codes results in a win. it is HIGHLY possible that your $385 results in nothing but extra numbers on the scale you step on. I am not saying dont participate. I have bought a couple boxes myself. I am just pointing out that it may not be worth it to really delve into this contest full bore. Thanks for math checking me, i respect that, but the point still stands

This is correct. I bought these two from Amazon US:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00409SOD2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MDJWJH9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And this cable from UK:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EYB8KC6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The MIDI adapter came all sticky like it was covered in glue (despite being packaged as new), which seems common in the reviews which is a bit annoying, but since it came from the US( I'm in the UK) I couldn't be bothered returning it; works perfectly!

Used pos with 2nd gen i5 and at best send me a pcpartpicker because this is the best I can do https://pcpartpicker.com/list/f2CKD2 compromises everywhere vs this Xbox one x Xbox One X 1TB Console (Discontinued) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074WPGYRF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Q8pvCb7S002HT and for the price difference I get 3 years of Xbox live

I would love the Elite, but really just can't afford it. I'm considering buying the strike pack controller modifier- Has anyone tried one of these? I would love to hear some input on it

Your best bet is probably to find a discounted TTK Legendary Edition to go with your code, since I believe you can't play it without TTK and you definitely can't without the base game. Here's one I found for only $26.

EDIT: If your question is that can you buy RoI on its own on xbox one if you already own destiny and all the DLCs, then the answer is yes.

First I bought this: X-Box One thumpsticks for DS4

It was way better than the original sticks. 2 days ago, I replaced them with aluminium ones: Aluminium sticks

It's a bit slippery, hard to grasp. I think I'll put xbone ones back. I've been using those for months and they were great.

I got it off Amazon. I know this is listed as "discontinued" but that's just because Microsoft doesn't actually have a non-bundle SKU anymore. It was still supposed to be new in box, and as far as I can tell it's all original packaging. Just the game pass and gold trial are missing

I definitely have that sleeve, and I'm 100% certain there was only one thing in it. It's a setup reference image that has diagrams of where the wires and stuff go. it looks kinda like this

Exactly what I was thinking! I saw this and it looks like it may fit the bill. One of the reviews mentions using it with a Dell Venue 8 tablet to stream Xbox games which is brilliant.

Hope these help

It's too late for him at this point. The covers will only fit properly on undamaged thumbsticks. The only solution now is for him to get a new set of thumbsticks on Amazon.

I recommend aluminum ones:

Thanks. I like the clean look. I picked a pair off Amazon: Controller Gear Officially Licensed Xbox One Controller Stand by Controller Gear - Xbox One

Yes you are going to have to buy TTK again. But it should be available at a pretty good discount now.

http://www.amazon.com/Destiny-Taken-King-Legendary-Xbox-One/dp/B00ZJ211Q6/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1453491985&sr=1-1&keywords=destiny

I bought this for my Xbox One controller (I play on PC) https://www.amazon.com/Collective-Minds-XBOX-ONE-Strike-Pack/dp/B01720MZJO. It adds paddles and is relatively affordable compared to the Elite.

Definitely worth it IMO -- makes GB tech infinitely easier and allows you to keep your right thumb on the stick most of the time.

Do not, and I mean DO NOT, get a Scuf controller. They are overpriced and breaks insanely quickly. You'll be lucky to last even a couple months with one.

Razer are an okay product. I don't particularly like them. They are popular only in name alone, imo.

I'd say, even if you don't run Windows 10, still go for the X1 Elite controller. The default button mapping is fine and it's the only controller in the market that feels genuinely premium and will last at least a year.

But if you still refuse the X1 Elite controller, your best option are one of these.

Here's a cheaper alternative but I would say yes if the price doesn't go above $140. Also, Xbox Elite Controllers are the same thing basically with better paddles. http://www.amazon.com/Collective-Minds-XBOX-ONE-Strike-Pack/dp/B01720MZJO/ref=sr_1_6/186-8082418-4017529?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1463971487&sr=1-6&keywords=xbox+elite+controller

With this little number you can have the best of both worlds.

While I don't doubt that GTA V is the most profitable entertainment product of all time. I do have an issue with his numbers, there is no way the average price for all 90 million units was like $67 USD. It has been available brand new for around $40 for about 2 years. Link to amazon price history for xbox one gta v, https://camelcamelcamel.com/Grand-Theft-Auto-V-Xbox-One/product/B00KVSQAGO

I recently just picked this up and also mapped the paddles to A and B. Did you find yourself still pushing the buttons instead of the paddles?

Also, can you share your sensitivity/ADS settings? I’ve been messing with both for a while and can’t seem to find a sweet spot. Im looking for similar to cod ADS since I’m so used to gunfire in that game. Nice W!

Pretty sure this is the exact 9or very similar model) https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Afterglow-Prismatic-Wired-Controller-Xbox/dp/B00ZJRHSRW

Price: $20 shipped sound good?

Buy this it will make it easier to use and give you more sound options:

Turtle Beach Headset Audio Controller Plus (Xbox One) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00PWRYKDE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_VZ2XCb21Z78CR

I also recommend buying the Dolby Atmos app for Xbox one headphones on the Xbox too :)

Xbox One Chatpad + Chat Headset (plugs directly into Chatpad) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0136JPA56/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_Ask7wbZSVKRD0


Dunno if the headset stuff works, but otherwise it's totally functional. Great little gadget.

Not the BEST solution, as it requires some cash, but I picked up a Turtle Beach adapter with mic monitoring and superhuman hearing and it is awesome. $25 on Amazon.

I can't find the turtle beach ear force adapter anywhere to purchase. Can someone provide an amazon link for me? Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Looks like I found it..is this the right one..for $40? https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Headset-Controller-Superhuman-Hearing/dp/B00PWRYKDE/ref=sr_1_8?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1469390457&sr=1-8&keywords=xbox+one+ear+force

It depends if you're playing on the Xbox 360 or the Xbox One.

If you're playing on the Xbox 360, you don't need the receiver.

If you're playing on the Xbox One, you need a different receiver, which is super hard to find, this wired PDP Adatper:
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Rock-Band-Wired-Legacy-Adapter/dp/B01MDJWJH9

The receiver you linked is for using wireless Xbox 360 instruments on the Xbox One.

You might be interested in knowing that most analogue pots (the things that the analog joysticks are put onto) are reverse compatible with other analog sticks.

That is to say, if you have a controller you prefer for hand feel, and another you prefer for analogue stick feel, odds are you can buy the analogue joysticks online and swap 'em out. It's like eight screws, and they pop right off.

On this Amazon page, you can see someone replaced the PS4 joysticks with the XBox One joysticks.

My 360 controller's joystick broke, and I replaced with the joystick from a Duke. It works!

Here's one on the economic friendly side. I really like it but it does not have much protection. It's better for car rides. It does the job.

Just to be clear this (https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Rock-Band-Wired-Legacy-Adapter/dp/B01MDJWJH9/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8) is the PDP adapter. It only works with the MPA and Ions. Madcatz also made a legacy adapter (https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Band-Legacy-Game-Controller-Adapter/dp/B01541ACLQ) that only works with wireless instruments. The RB3 stock kit works with the Madcatz one, not PDP. Just want to make sure you have the right adapter before getting a new kit :)

Nyko Smart Clip - Xbox One https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FLLFM0Q/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_N1yNwb0C184DB

Totally agree on size. Perfect fit - no complaints.

Any ekit with a midi-out port on the brain will work with the Midi Pro Adapter. The hitch is that many of the more inexpensive ekits have "midi-via-usb" ports that require a program running on a computer to convert the ekit's output to an input the Midi Pro Adapter can accept. If your midi-out port looks like this, you're good.

Once you have an ekit plugged into the MPA, it's as simple as setting the corresponding midi notes for a Rock Band config.

Also, if you're on Xbox One, you need the ridiculously expensive out-of-print legacy wired controller adapter to play with RB4. PS4 doesn't have this issue and can use the PS3 MPA just fine.

I didnt spend 300. I bought scuf extended domed sticks ($13) and scuf grips and trigger stops ($25) and installed them on my controller that came with the console. ($0). So $28 for a better preforming controller (In my mind at least). Debating on wether or not to get paddles for around $50 and installing them. $78 for a homemade Scuf is a lot better than 300 IMO.

edit: links added

I have one of [these] (https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Multi-Function-Carrying-Case-Xbox-XB1-MFC/dp/B00I902D7Q/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1495134352&sr=1-3&keywords=xbox%2Bone%2Bcase&th=1) for the Xbox One and it works great for Wii U.

I recommend a bubble-wrap envelope to stick the console in and a Tomee gamepad case.

Wireless KBM is probably what I would end up doing.

But really I was considering getting one of these for my controller, if it worked for Skyrim hotkeys. I haven't had a chance to read up on it yet.

Have never tried playing Skyrim via controller or on big screen, because I need muh hotkeys, and Dragons Dogma is unplayable via KBM, imo (the UI nav is ridiculous, to say the least), so was looking for a solution to play both from my couch with a controller, for funsies.

Also, was finally checking out the Lock On mod the other day. Looks like it'd be great for couch warrior, joystick combat.

I doubt you’re going to find MS replacements. They don’t want you to repair your controller but buy a new one. I found these from Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-analog-stick-covers-for-xbox-one-and-xbox-360-black/4691501.p?skuId=4691501&ref=212&loc=1&extStoreId=478&ref=212&loc=1&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIi7Ktw4mc4gIVwuDICh19MAWqEAQYASABEgIMjvD_BwE

his tv is very thin, yours is very thick. i'm not sure how well the gorillapod will work in that situation. i recently bought a second xb1 w/ the titanfall bundle. i bought it to put it in the livingroom for the wife and kids (no one messes with daddy's xb1 time). i bought this mount:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FYMTUQY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

it works pretty well, costs $19 and feels secure. it also has a hood that covers the camera if you feel the need for that (i don't bother, let the world see my frank & beans, i don't care.... though my wife would feel different if she knew).

Fantastic, thank you! Going to pick up some of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JQX91HU

Well, you're in luck - because Controller Gear is selling them for only $5 on Amazon, now!

That's a no-brainer!

This one costs a bit more but it's fantastic, I've had it for a week or so now.

Since I run TTR via Steam, I use Controller Companion with it, which is an app for Steam. I've tried others, but unlike most other software, Controller Companion can actually bind the Xbox Home button to something.

Regardless of which software you use, however, if you haven't gotten it already, I highly recommend this little adapter for your controller, because with it you can type from the controller as well. Therefore, fully replacing your mouse and keyboard with the controller.

I mean there's this thing here But it's nothing like the actual Elite Controller. As a proud (and very cheap) owner of the Elite controller, I'll tell you it's definitely worth that $150.

I use the turtle beach headset adapter since it came free with the turtle beach xo ones. Similar to the normal adapter, but perhaps there are a few differences in audio delay due to the bass boost or internal workings.

Anyway for 1) I find that my audio calibration fluctuates when using a controller wirelessly with the adapter. 80% of play sessions it sits around 90ms, but it can range between 75-120ms when I do manual calibration. That's probably more than your TV settings? But perhaps close to a surround sound setup. Compare!

If wires aren't a problem, plugging in the controller by usb seems to drop the lag number and make it consistent. Plus, you won't have to waggle a thumbstick to keep the it from falling asleep every 15 minutes. As for the cable between the controller and headset, I place the controller on the right and have it run across to my left ear and it never gets in the way. I don't know much about Bluetooth headphones, but hope this helps!

No problem just buy a xbox one:

https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-X-1TB-Console/dp/B074WPGYRF/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&srs=6469269011&ie=UTF8&qid=1539436597&sr=1-1&th=1

to support microsoft and then preorder the xbox version of Hunt afterwards, when it comes out, to support crytek.

By the way, have you already heard of Rise:Sons of Rome :

https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/ryse-son-of-rome

also a great crytek game which was slightly misunderstood by the public at its release, because it was so far ahead of its time.

Do you know that you can now also buy Hunt Showdown together with Rise: Sons of Rom in a steam bundle, to support crytek even more:

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/6792/Hunt_Showdown__Ryse_Son_of_Rome_Bundle/

Bought this one recently and it's pretty good and not too steep a price for the convienience.

You can get the Microsoft one that has a lot more features and an extra mic for $30, or you can get an Ortz chatpad that has less features and is $25. I really like my Microsoft one. You can map keys to do certain things, like pull up the friends list or take a game clip in the push of a button. There's a lot of complaints on Amazon about the Microsoft one but I've never had a problem.

Why isn't Cortana available in your geographical location? I didn't know that was region specific.

Yea, for the pre-order cars we have the luxury of being able to pick one for free, so might as well put all the options on the table and check them out.

This is the page I'm looking at for Amazon. That page has "digital" plastered all over it, I imagine it's probably digital.

Also 130$ CAD is 100$ USD, so I'dd expect to pay that amount at any store for the Ultimate edition. Buying in USD is probably cheaper too, since here I'dd get taxed 15%, so 130 would become 150.

Exactly. Add in this or similar and you have a kick ass setup

Make sure you get the one s version not the older one that doesn't support Bluetooth

that is the only product i know FOR 10000000% SURE that will allow OMTP or CTIA standard headsets+mics to work on xbox one. even though it's not a "converter" it will allow OMTP devices to function 100% properly. i have never personally known anyone to get a OMTP to CTIA converter to actually work on xbox.

I have these and I pretty much love the crap out of them:

Think you can buy TTK for cheap now which includes everything. Now is great time to buy it. You should be fully leveled up before RoI drops.

edit: $30 on amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/Destiny-Taken-King-Legendary-Xbox-One/dp/B00ZJ211Q6/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1468846221&sr=1-1&keywords=destiny+xbox+one

I suggest you try one of these instead, since it has all the same functions and more. I love my Chatpad!

It does take a tad more space though.

Like this:

If you're on Windows 7 or 8.1, you'll need separate drivers from MS to make it work, but it's well worth the price and effort.

I can't recommend these more: Click

I have changed them on both of my DS4 and they are awesome. You can actually get them cheaper if you don't feel like spending $15 on them. Check sites like http://tinydeal.com or http://dx.com

Turtle Beach Stealths are on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $199

i have an afterglow xbox controller and i'll try a few different things, hasn't bothered me to much but if i ever want to get better at wall riding i will need to try something different i uppose

> For me, I think it would be awesome if they sold the controllers with a rechargeable (and removable) battery and add a button or two for screenshots/recording.

Get yourself a play-and-charge kit and a chatpad for your existing controller.

Only thing to look out for OP is to get one of the xbox one controllers that supports bluetooth, the original ones did not, meaning you would have to use a wire. So double check!

Here try this..... Much cheaper alternative and offers a lot of the perks of a scuf... If you would like to go even further with the controller, scuf does a package which I forgot the name that comes with back grip plates with adjustable trigger stops...
Hope this helps

This might help make it more easily accessible too, as long as you don't use a headset adaptor: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FLLFM0Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1421086269&sr=8-1

It seems to fit and hold my phone fine, but admittedly I haven't used it much as I can't name a single smartphone game that I actually want to play. The mobile Halo knockoff game (NOVA something, I think) does not support Bluetooth controllers, only touchscreen controls!

XCloud can't come fast enough.

There's a turtle beach one that's specifically made for the xbox one that's coming out in October. I believe that's the best there is as far as headsets specifically made for the xbox one

Yes they do, they had a sale a week or two ago and another sale back during spring break.

You can also buy off Amazon and other stores

Get the Xbox One thumbsticks. They are really nice!

[Which is nice if you have that much disposable income] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00KSQACMM/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=all). The headset I linked to above was $30, mono ear (because I'm a dad I gotta have an ear for the kid) these were a god send. Not so much this generation

Check Best Buy, Target, Amazon and Walmart. All had an influx of new or cancelled orders this week. Order a new one and take that one back for a refund.

https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-1TB-Limited-Console-Project/dp/B01GW8VG7O?th=1

Is this us only?

Edit: tried to buy this with canadian credit card, purchase cancelled and refunded. This occurred even when using the international bilking address they say to use on their site.

If anyone has a fix please comment it!

Edit 2; just gonna buy it through amazon us

https://www.amazon.com/Forza-Horizon-Xbox-Windows-Digital/dp/B01GW3PAYE

Its US $40

it's this kind of low level hardware, i wouldn't advise you to buy one as the buttons are too small and the gameplay impossible on this. You should take a wireless 8bitdo if you want a themed controller otherwise you can go with any kind of controller you want such as a Afterglow Prismatic Xbox One controller they often are in sale and look way better (it's not wireless thought).

Hope that helps

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I902D7Q?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00

Bought this one and its got room for four controllers, four wiimotes, a wireless mouse, a small wireless keyboard (logitech k400) a wii sensor bar, and an external hard drive. Love mine

Edit: Link fixed

Someone selling on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01MDJWJH9/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new tell your friends if they are willing to buy.

I use the Steelseries Nimbus for my iPad/Apple TV, and for my iPhone on the go I use another Nimbus coupled with this clip (they stopped production so the price became ridiculous - I got mine for $10).

EDIT: According to this post, you can buy a clip for the nimbus for pretty cheap online.

I also have the CTRLi and the Stratus, but I prefer the Nimbus because it supports Bluetooth 4 LE, which seems to provide less lag and longer battery life in my experience. It's also the most supported controller - Apple sometimes breaks compatibility with other controllers between iOS versions.

I'm surprised they're not at major retailers. I can have one delivered to me within 2 hours from Amazon Prime Now. $24.99 plus taxes, delivery fee and tip so it ends up being closer to $35 anyway but if they have it I bet some places you're not thinking to check will have them for the standard $24.99 price.

Edit: you can also get this - https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Chatpad-Chat-Headset-plugs-directly/dp/B0136JPA56

That has a 3.5mm jack and the same audio controls as the adapter plus a keyboard and it also comes with a cheap headset. My friend just got one to replace his headset adapter that stopped working.

Same with Amazon.

You can probably get a good deal on Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Auto-V-Xbox-One/dp/B00KVSQAGO

Would like to know as well, can't seem to find one with only one port.

Edit: Found it.

I like the buttons for the chat adapter as well. I use Turtle Beaches adapter with my elite. It has built in mic monitoring and many other features.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PWRYKDE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1463928773&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=turtle+beach+xbox+one+adapter

Right, but one card costs as much as a console, and you’re probably upgrading it a lot more often than once every 7-8 years. And that's only the graphics card.

I'm as PCMR as the next user but I'm not about to pretend playing AAA games on PC is somehow cheaper than playing them on a $250 commodity gaming appliance.

Get the official chatpad. That's what I use. Then you don't have to worry about wires and you are still able to plug a headset in if needed. There are also two programmable buttons at the bottom for whatever your heart desires (I use mine to turn the TV volume up and down). It's also backlit and times put after about 10 seconds of no use.

Xbox One Chatpad
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0136JPA56/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_GNTjzbF6J8BPK

Not really. The adapter provides superior sound quality.

>Mute, Voice and game Volume

Edit: I have the Turtle Beach Headset Audio Adapter

You can bluetooth with the PS3/4. My old Turtle Beach Earforce PX5 headset only needed a chat wire for the xbox one and xbox 360.

The headset I want does game audio along with chat. So it's better than a standard headset.

An alternative to getting the chat adapter is this it has the same use as a headset adapter with the keyboard.

Looks like you already ordered a new pair of cans, but I had this adapter and it worked well: https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Headset-Controller-Superhuman-Hearing/dp/B00PWRYKDE?th=1

Amazon still has scorpio editions available in case anyone is interested: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GW8VG7O/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1

You need an Android device, Xbox One S controller (connected to device via bluetooth), and the moonlight or steam link App. Oh, and an Nvidia GPU is ideal, particularly for moonlight.

Also, this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DQBPH15/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_yr0vCb6J8DNGW

I picked mine up at Gamestop. They have them at Amazon as well if you want it delivered. Check it out and see if it's something that fits your setup! http://www.amazon.com/PDP-Kinect-TV-Mount-Xbox-One/dp/B00FYMTUQY

As european i can bought Forza Horizon 3 PC standard edition for 59.99$ ?

I'm so lost with those Xbox/win10 registration codes ...

PS:OK nevermind there's a mention "Note: Currently, this item is available only to customers located in the United States."
So i supposed i need US physical location, also US billing address and US gamertag account to activate it ?

All you need is the controller to do everything besides voice and motion controls.

Gold is required for most online services... skype online multiplayer stuff like that.

If you're nervous about haveing a camera in the livingroom this may be a good buy

I didn't think you could get the free games with gold with a trial. If you look on the xbox site under games with gold it will tell you the previous titles.

I am wanting gta also. Amazon is making it tempting today for $30.

Luckily, Amazon appears to have it.

Yeah I bet. Sorry to hear that. Do you have any progress pics of your mod? I would love to take a crack at it myself. I was interested in the collective minds strike pack:

https://www.amazon.ca/Collective-Minds-XBOX-Strike-Pack/dp/B01720MZJO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523887150&sr=8-1&keywords=xbox+one+paddles

But I found you have to leave the controller plugged in to use it, and that kind of killed it for me.

It's the real deal, alright! You can find it in stores and on Amazon. Here's the Amazon US link: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Limited-Call-Duty-Advanced/dp/B00MMTKXTA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415752928&sr=8-1&keywords=xbox+one+advanced+warfare+bundle

EDIT: Actually, it's $450... I read on NeoGAF it's supposed to be $350, so I don't know what the deal is.

But if you use the buttons to navigate to the Assassin's Creed bundle, you can pay $350 for an Xbox One with AC Black Flag and AC Unity (one of which you should probably not touch).

I bought a case off of amazon for like 20 bucks that I use when I travel. Cta digital carrying case. I'll look it up when I get to a computer

Hahah yes, this is her evil, older sister. 😂

Here's the link to the controller stand. :)

I've just had a quick look on Amazon and it looks like it might be the Controller Gear Controller Stand v1.0.

Seems like the Scorpio Edition is in stock on amazon right now.

Looks like the cheap clip I bought from Amazon (Germany)

If you want something that fits Xbox controllers better, this is what Microsoft use in their stores when demoing XCloud:

Thanks! And here’s the link for the stand:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PRDEZN8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kNyACbRKKXX37

I second this!
And if you are able, get a Turtle Beach Audio Controller. It'll give you the ability to monitor your own voice as you're speaking with the Clouds. A solid combo.

I really hope the Unity and Sunset Overdrive bundles sell as quick as the Madden bundle did back in August. Oh wait...

There is nothing completely wireless atm. But in October there will be 2 from Turtle beach: the Stealth 500x and XO one. I believe the Stealth is completely wireless. Not sure about the XO one. If you're looking for a headset right now, Astro a50 and titanfall atlas would be your best choices. But those are not "completely" wireless.

yup. i've grabbed this multiple times (they sell a 4x pack too http://www.amazon.com/Original-Black-Xbox-Controller-Analogue-Thumbsticks/dp/B00JQX91HU)

i've converted 6 controllers so far for myself and friends and these are the go-to sticks.

Gamestop was giving them out when the One x was released. Looks like you can get them on amazon for a ridiculous 12.99
