what's your point? i'm not an idiot.
I was just saying the seller should have given credit where it was needed.

HOLY SH*T ! Can't you still buy those from Playmessiahs website for $50??? That seller is jacking that price up like crazy! Personally I think that even $50 is too much money for 2 NES controllers, although those things are cool as hell. I just have too many things to buy, and not enough money to buy them all. :(

I guess I just didn't care for the "lame" comment. Why is the selelr obligated to mention who made these?
I'm sure every one of your auctions includes information to where the buyer can get the same item as you're selling but cheaper.
Oh and btw, they're backordered on Play Messiah's website

whoa, sorry to touch on such a soft subject x_x. I wasn't trying to fan anyone's fire.
The seller gives quite a bit of information, but failed to say who made the controllers. In an auction i honestly like to know what exactly it is I am getting. Sure, the seller isn't "obligated to mention" but it would have been nice. not everyone out there knows about these and I am sure since they are "backordered" then the price is fair if someone really wants one.
oh, and in my auctions i do do my best to let people know what they are getting and if they want to find it cheaper, then by all means let them look.

Yes, there are a couple of threads (search for "Messiah") about them. I own the SNES ones and I really like them. Some people don't like them because the d-pad isn't authentic, but I think they work as good as the original and are even slightly more comfortable.

Why not just get the NES Max controllers? They have the 360 degree pad and turbo, but just aren't wireless. They fit in the hand much nicer than originals as well.

Well, if you're interested, you could always ask Chaoticjelly (the seller) .. he is a member here :)

I think the whole reason is the wireless aspect. People who have systems stacked beside their tv's don't want cords getting in the way of people sitting to the right or to the left.

Well, now you know why he didn't mention who made them. There isn't an ebayer out there who wouldn't check the price first. The seller is obviously trying to get mo money than that. They left the name out on purpose.

These controllers are far more advanced than the NES Max, and they are wireless. Plus, the Max wasn't exactly limited edition, and good luck finding a new one. If you got a set of these, or even laid oeyes on one once, you wouldn't have even asked.
