Is this true?

[ballerzinc]

I paid off my 360 last night and put some money down on a wired controller to pick up next week and the guy said you can't have more than two wired controllers in your 360, is this true? Why would it matter?

Re: Is this true?

I havent heard that, but it doesnt make sense to me.

Re: Is this true?

Not sure, I guess it depends on how many USB ports the 360 has.

Re: Is this true?

The Xbox 360 only has 2 usb ports for controllers so yes this is true, but you can still have wireless controllers on top of the wired ones.

Re: Is this true?

I thought the limit was 3? 2 in the front and 1 in the back. No idea really.

Oh, okay now I get it. I guess I'll still go with the wired anyway.

are you getting the core system?

Re: Is this true?

I never knew that. I figured it would have 4 ports like the Xbox. So you can still play with 4 people at once, but you have to have 2 wired and 2 wireless controllers? Can you do 3 wireless and 1 wired or all 4 wireless?

No I'm getting premium but I want to see how the battery system works out and stuff like that. I will definately get more controllers down the line so then I will decide which to get and be my primary controller I use.

Re: Is this true?

I hate wireless controllers and will not use the one that comes with the system, I will leave that for anyone who wants to play against me....

Anyone know if you can plug a USB hub into the 360 and use 4 wired controllers then??

There are 3 USB ports.

From IGN:

Xbox 360 Wireless Controller: $49.99 Taking note of the popularity of Nintendo's WaveBird, Microsoft's wireless controller is a lightweight, well-crafted, ergonomically designed tool. It's bundled with the Premium package, sold separately from the Core package. What are the biggest changes over the Xbox controller? The black and white buttons have been moved to the left and right bumpers, which sit directly above the left and right triggers. And it's wireless. The controller features two analog sticks and a Dpad, which are placed in the same positions they were in the previous Xbox controller, a start and back button, and the new Xbox 360 Guide button, which sits in the top-center portion of the controller. The Xbox 360 Guide Button can pull up the new GamerCard menu screen at any time, and it's illuminated. It blinks when friends send messages or when batteries in the controller run low. In that case, players have the option to plug in the controller and continue playing while the battery recharges. It features an optional removable battery pack (or two AA batteries). The wireless controller is easily the most sophisticated wireless controller on the market. It uses "frequency-hopping spread spectrum" a thousand times a second or so, changing frequencies, cutting down drastically on the amount of interference you might encounter from other devices in your house. It's already a tried-and-true system with an extended range of 30 feet in any direction. Headsets connect directly into the audio jack on the controller, eliminating the need for Xbox communicators.

Xbox 360 Wired Controller: $39.99 Microsoft's wired controller is exactly the same in design as the wireless controller: it's lightweight, well-crafted, and ergonomically designed for maximum comfort. It's bundled with the Core package, and sold separately from the Premium package. The console offers three USB ports, all of which can connect to wired controllers.

How can anyone hate wireless controllers?

Re: Is this true?

I hate them too.

Game 7,Stanley Cup finals,3rd OT,Heatly gets the breakaway! Dekes left,dekes right....keeps going right runs into the boards and loses the puck because the batteries ran out. Datsyuk takes it and scores,Red Wings win the cup instead of the Sens cause you're out of batteries.

or how about...

Super Bowl 1 second left,down 95-93,going for the game winning FG press A to start the kick meter and someone walks in front of you....the kick slowly rolls across the ground instead of through the uprights.

You must have a crappy controller then because my controller(logitech) can work through walls and nothing happens if somebody walks in front of it. And with the battery thing, the controller should tell you when the batteries are getting low.
