So on my birthday, my brothers and sister pitched in together to get me the Covenant Brute special edition controller because i already have the Spartan one.



Well my birthday was in October and i still don't have my controller.

When i first opened it and began to play some halo, it didnt feel right, felt out of place, out of allignment. and the RB and LB buttons were unresponsive. Well when i compared it to the Spartan Edition, which was smooth in the area that connected the art, to the black bottom. but on the Covenant one, it was rough, not connected properly. It wasn't right, and let me tell you it doesnt help your gameplay. So i did what was nessicary, i return it to the store where they got it from, they said i could only return it once. So i open it. It has go the same problem.

I then resorted to calling M$. After awhile of going from manger to manger. They said they would call me back tommrow. They did and they said they were replacing it i just needed to send it in. And see if you are a big enough jerk you'll get what you want.

So i sent it in. I didn't hear anything for a few weeks and i called them back. They said they lost it. They called back a few days later, they found it. Another few days, they didnt have anymore of the controllers in stock. A few days later and they said they were sending me Project Gotham for my problems (which i still don't have). They call me a week later, the controller is on the way. It was here today, but i was at work and my sister didnt answer the door. So i have to wait until monday =(.

My only concern is that it has the same problem, and goddmanitt i want my free copy of Project Gotham for all this crap.

Yeesh, that’s one hell of an odyssey for a controller. Here’s hoping that the new one you get works beautifully!

Yeah, Heretic's right. Alot of damn hassle for a not-so-great looking controller. What the hell happened to Todd McFarlene?

@blehman: The art itself is pretty good, but slapped on a controller like that it looks fairly hideous. I like the olive drab controllers that come with the Halo 3 360, but for my elite the only choice is black.
