The X Box 360 Wired Controllers have always been the dominant life of the party, sure, you have to deal with a wire getting in the way as you get up to get your Hot Pocket (Non Recalled Version); but you have to consider these many great things: 1st, the ping time response, basically the time it takes your in game character or model to respond to your button combination is substantially cut down; most people won't notice this, but for those in the gaming elite circle, it does make a world of difference; 2nd, you don't have to purchase rechargeable batteries or a kit and never have to worry about it powering down on you; 3rd, its light weight and believe it or not more durable, ever spike a wireless controller during a huge lag spike or game save error, well this puppy can take the brunt (stares at Halo Reach). So go ahead, get your super over priced scuff or wireless, I'll stick to my traditional Wire X Box Controller.
