No you misunderstand.. I am just saying that the controller is expensive. In other words being a hardcore gamer does not usually go alongside with makes a lot of money. I game a lot and consider myself a hardcore gamer but I have a budget and $150 for a controller does not fit into that budget

150! Pffft! This won't sell a whole Helluva lot.

Guarantee that 9 months to a year down the road, this will be 79.99

What a rip!

That's precisely my point, this isn't a controller geared for the Elite Gamer. its geared for the gamer who has to much money, or is irresponsible with there money.

I bet there isn't even $50 dollars worth of components in this thing.

Way too much money. I don't really feel like there is much improvement that needs to be done with the controller. Except that the R1 & L1 buttons should be moved. Touching them with my finger tips is way too awkward.
