    Broke after 2 months Warranty did nothing

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The right bumper broke after two months. I had a 2 year BBY warranty. The controller is sold out at the store and online. So I left best buy with a broken controller and no replacement. They would not give me my money back. I called Microsoft for their warranty. They transfered me all around an I never got to the right department. I have to schedule a visit with Microsoft and drive to one of their stores if I want anny assistance. This is my 5th Elite controller that has broken. I switched from Sony to Microsoft because of Halo. I am getting the ps5 this year not the xbox series x or whatever in 2020. I have a photo of 3 of the 5 broken controllers surrounded by working controllers attached.

    So, I was a little bit hesitant to purchase such an expensive controller. Hell, it’s half the price of the Xbox itself. However, this thing is built like a tank. I wouldn’t be worried about a fit of rage and throwing it across the room. Well, except for the whole to leave in the wall. The buttons are amazing. They have finesse, and take control. This thing just fits perfect in your hand. I have never felt a controller that I’ve enjoyed as much. I wish it was not so expensive, however to get this level of precision machinery, he’s got to be worth it. Overall, I am very pleased that I spent the money on it.

    Excellent customer service and an excellent extended warranty. Don’t be a fool get the extended warranty on all electronics. We have had to use it a few times in the last 2 years in various electronics and Best Buy has always treated us right on the replacement!!!
