The Best Buy bundle pack that includes a controller, Halo 2 preview disc and coupon booklet (the bundle they gave out free to people who bought Xbox systems a few months ago) are currently being liquidated for $9.99. If you're in the market for another controller and some Halo 2 goodness, you can't beat that price.

The Halo 2 disc just has the original trailer, the eight minute E3 demo, and the behind the scenes feature from Bungie's website. No real exclusive content, but it's nice to have the features in DVD quality. So if you're just looking for Halo stuff, you've probably already seen all these features already.

Getting a new controller for 1/3rd of the regular price is a sweet deal, though. There also coupons for $5 off a bunch of last year's games...Prince of Persia, Counter-Strike, Madden...stuff like that.

Even better! The Best Buy website lists it as $8.99! My testicles are now in Defcon 4.

Is it a first party controller?

Call me picky, but I never trust any peripherals that aren't first party.

No, but it feels pretty solid. And for nine bucks, it's still less than half the price of all third party controllers

I need a new controller anyway. Right now I have this wireless controller, but it eats up batteries so fucking fast.

DEFCON 4?

That isn't saying much. DEFCON 1 is the fullout nuclear war.

I saw the controller/Halo 2 video disc yesterday, but I didn't look at the controller closely.

Is it an actual first party controller? Or something from Interact?

I asked this already above, and according to Slater, it's not a 1st party. I don't know who it's from, but after looking closely at the picture of the packaging on the BB website, I can tell that it's not 1st party.

See for yourself:

Yeah, I know! What the hell does that mean? Does it do your laundry for you or something?

Nah, it's just got some turbo buttons you can program. Which was a very cool feature when I was nine and I got a NES Advantage for Christmas. Now? Not so cool anymore.

I had a turbo controller for the SNES, and I wanted to jump non-stop on Super Mario World, so I set the switch to auto and the wires started smoking.

Am I the only one who absolutely hates the design of the XBox controllers?

Possibly... the S-Controller is my all-time favorite controller.

Slater, I thought the reason for the price drop was because the coupons have now expired. That's what the guy at the store told me.

Didn't even check the expiration date on the coupons, since I already own all the games on the list that I want. I'm sure you're right, though.

I just bought it for the controller, so I can finally unload my last gigantic Xbox piece of shit controller. And the Halo 2 stuff was a nice bonus.

Heh, I bought this a month ago, and the controller didn't last two days.
