    With this being the 2nd generation, all the bugs and defects should be worked out, right? Right out of the box, sticky A button. After some research online, I was not the only one. C’mon Microsoft. Best Buy retuned my purchase price without question. Thank you.

    Up D-pad button didn't work unless I press it firmly, otherwise it just clicks and makes the noise that comes with pressing it, but the button doesn't actually register as being pressed.
