Shannon's LTU v6 Journal

[Shannon]

Just as I'm thinking that yes, I'll go from my xbox one x to a ps5 next because Sony has those darn exclusives that are supposed to be so good. I could even play their previous releases. But now seeing a couple people mention constant quality issues - never had any with my xboxes and I like the controller and styling more. Well, no rush to decide..

Well I have had a number of people tell me that they either can't believe that I have had every controller I purchased die in 2-8 weeks, or that I must be full of it.  I appear to be the only person I have encountered that had this happen.

Today at GameStop, the guy behind the counter explained that "You know, controllers wear out.  You do have to replace them."  I bought it in May of 2020, and received it in June.  I also haven't exactly had much time to use it since then... maybe 15 or 20 hours of game play?  If that's enough to wear them out, then I'm going to be disgusted for a different version of the same reason.

But the warranty is going to get used again and again until they figure it out.  I am not buying more of these things.

Maybe I just have the worst luck in history.
