Strengths: Wireless. Works great - no connection issues.

Weaknesses: None so far

Summary: We have been using this wireless remote for 3 months now.

The batteries gave lasted so far (we do not have many games which have a lot of rumble. It is great not having to worry about wires.I have no complaints with this controller

Strengths: Controls games flawlessly (if you're good)!

Weaknesses: It's not the best shade of blue I've ever seen.

Summary: It's the same XBOX 360 wireless controller you know and love, NOW IN BLUE!!! Seriously though, the 360 controller design is near perfect. Button input is responsive and the battery life is impressive. You could do much, much worse.

Strengths: User friendly

Weaknesses: Too expensive!!

Summary: Great controllers, best controller system on any Nexy gen system, but they break a little to easy. When I opened the packing of my first one, it fell on the floor falling probally 2 feet and the trigger button wouldn't work, plus they are as any controller on any next-gen system way to expencive.

Strengths: Nice blue color, great overall controller

Weaknesses: D-pad

Summary: This is just a blue version of the standard Xbox 360 controller, so everything is pretty much the same for this one as for the white, black, and pink ones. So this one has the same fault as all the others - the D-pad. The D-pad on Xbox 360 controllers is awful - it does not register movement well and sometimes registers the wrong movements. It was just a bad design choice by Microsoft. The bad D-pad is unfortunate because other than that the Xbox 360 controller is the best console controller out there. It's very ergonomic and the button and joystick placement is fantastic. I wouldn't play with any other controller.

Strengths: The wireless feature is as good on this controller as it is on all other.

Weaknesses: None so far

Summary: This controller is exactly like the white one. The blue color pictured is a lot more harsh then the real thing. My husband loves the blue controller. So far it has held up better then the controller that came with the system.
