I find the $80 price tag enticing....to people who are dedicated "gamers". And by dedicated I mean iOS and by "gamers" I mean those who don't know what good games are because they only know iOS games.
It could have been a cool peripheral if it wasn't for the "Gameloft Only" crap, certainly not $80 cool, but it would have been a nice $20 emulator controller.
mfw $80 and gameloft
:l
It make the right side of my head hurt knowing some people will buy this. I feel light headed...and I think I'm having a nosebleed.

Wow, 79,99$ for that cheap thing? Seriously? And it only works on iOS and ONLY with Gameloft games?

If I had a dollar every time I heard someone say they need a controller to play an iPad game...
I would have 10 cents.

Gameloft actually have a lot of pretty good games, and as a Xperia Play owner, they really shine with buttons, so it's actually a great product for iPad owners, but the price tag is really salty, if it was something around US$20,00 it would be a great buy, for US$80,00 no thanks.
Wouldn't it be better if the device could dock an iPhone or iPod Touch by itself? I understand you can't comfortably dock an iPad on that thing but why not connect it via Bluetooth without the need of docking the iPad? I mean, I would consider playing this kind of games like a handheld when I'm out of home if my iPhone didn't have to be docked. At home. In the same room as my gaming PC.
The price and game exclusivity certainly don't help.
PS.- Did the guy in the picture seriously get so excited just by getting to the title screen?

The man in this promo image has hit the Douchebag Singularity:
1)The obvious facial expression
2)The bright red polo
3)The hand-gesture
4)Making his bored-as-hell-looking girlfriend come to the kitchen to watch him play games on his tablet (which is on a freaking stand) with what looks suspiciously like a garage door opener

Great idea. That would make it easier to play for people who don't like the sometimes inaccuracy of Touch Screen controls.
Everything about this is a complete failure. It looks ugly and uncomfortable, it barely works with any games (like all of these controllers) which is stupid given it's supposed to be an official Gameloft item, and it costs a ridiculous amount. It's pathetic.
Would like for a proper controller to be used for iOS or Android tabs. Each game supports a different controller at the moment and it causes headaches.
It has potential especially if ouya takes off with a few games which should come over to tablets.

Why does it have to be so ugly? Per-NES era ugly. I could get a cheaper hooker who would look better than that.
This Nova 3 game must be amazing.
The dude is fist pumping at the start screen.
Wonder what he thinks of the actual game?

that woman sure looks impressed with his NOVA 3 title screen skills. not surprising though, because if there's one thing women love, it's watching men play videogames on a tiny screen.
Man: "Aw, FUCK YEAH TITLE SCREEN WHADDUP?!"
Woman: "Way to go baby! My ex never made it this far..."
Nothing turns on my girlfriend more than watching me press A instead of Start.

Apple needs a first party controller that works with all apps provided they use the official API, have it be ~$30 and not look like a piece of junk scribbled by a 12 year old.
A device centric to a developer? That's terrible. If it just borrows the Xperia Play input scheme, then it should be viable with many different types of games (though that support is declining in new games).
