Is there any 3rd party(mad-catz)periphials that are catching anybodys eye?
The only cool thing I saw so far is a 10 1/2" liquid crystal screen($199.99).
I also saw some very interesting stands to display the 360.I expected to see more cool s**t than I see so far from 3rd party's

It's finally lunch time!

Just to remind you, 3rd party hardware is low quility at best. However, nope, I haven't seen anything good lately. If you do want to buy something from a 3rd party, buy Logitech, their the only 3rd party that produces the same quility as a 1st party would.

No problem man, I just can't recommend ANYONE to buy mad-catz, or pelican brand products. Those companies just want some money, and they put out rushed, low grade products to get it.

Never, and I mean NEVER, buy a memory card by a 3rd party...If you do, you'll soon regret it.

Oh, and remember that any 3rd party peripheral will have to get M$'s approval.

A typical MS controller (with normal or more aggressive use) will last me say about 6 months or more. I had a double pack of Hip Gear controllers. The first one completely broke in a week and the second controller had buttons that didn't even work. Get MS controllers. They're built REALLY well.



EDIT: That just made me think. Maybe MS hires Hip Gear to make ****ty equipment on purpose so people will buy their controllers. JK. I know it's not true. But it's funny though Hip Gear stuff sucks exceptionally bad.
