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.
Ok so, i got the controller, it was still effed up. So i sent it back, had some spazzes with various calling people at the Microsoft telephone service. Then they decided they would give me the common courtesy of Viva Pinata (special edition i might add). So months came and went, i got another controller, i sent it back, there was controllers lost in the mail, yada, yada. Then last week. BAM! i get two packages. I open it up, and what do i find but two Covenant controllers (they were both effed up btw) So i said screw it, i'm going to keep these suckers, and you better believe that i did. Then a few days ago, i get another package, and BAM! i get another controller. And i'm going to keep that sucker too.
Now microsoft calls me yesterday, and BAM! they are sending me another controller! but this time it won't be a Covenant controller, it's will just be one normal plain white one. Hallelujah!
Sooooo, that would mean that my controller count will reach a grand total of....... 7! And you might ask yourself what one might do with 7 controllers..... I have no flippin' idea.
In other news, you may have noticed (you probaly haven't though, i bet you don't even know who i am) but anyways, you may have noticed that I have not been on Dtoid in awhlile. Trust me, i have, I'm quite the lurker...
DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNNN
also, nice job, sadly they are the shitty halo themed nasty ones, but still a controller is a controller
you could always get a silicon shell for them, which works wonders on fucked up controllers.
or even mod them with your own casings.
