I recently bought two new 3rd party gamecube controllers to use on my wii and they broke damn fast. Luckily I think I can still get a refund from amazon. Does any know which 3rd party is the best to buy gamecube controllers from? I'd buy official nintendo ones but they considered collector's items new and I don't wanna buy used controllers.

Speaking of which, I was playing melee last night and the joystick on mine is all weird. I'll have to figure out a way to fix it.

I have a fancy-ass metallic silver Wavebird.  It still comes in handy for brawl-offs.

I bet Gamestop and otehr stores have new controllers siting around in warehouses somewhere...

Funnily enough, I was at the Gamestop near my work after work. according to one of the guys who worked there, old games/consoles/etc that are being discontinued just get marked down over and over until they get bought.

I think I broke 2 Nintendo 64 controllers when I was a kid. One of them was for mario party, the other one over time.

But speaking of controllers, did anyone ever encounter this?

My friend had one, but I've never seen another.
