I am sure many are not in college and hs.

I also have not read anybody say that this is just a way to squeeze money from the popularity of the game by releasing it on release day of the game

But I am buying the controller because I love the SHow and I only have one controller. I need 2

But I also do not feel that any DLC from other games is doing me any harm because I like the game to feel fresh.

I just know that many complain about DLC prices and complain that companies are always trying to squeeze money from the customer.

But I have not read that about this controller.
There are sites out there, that I am sure complain about the controller...

And I think the complaint for the "map packs" is the fact they charge you 1/4 of the price of an entire game, for 3 maps total. In which at one time, in the PC gaming realm, this stuff was free, and a reward for purchasing the game. Then MSFT comes along with the DLC push, and now such luxuries and loyalty rewards no longer exist.

Controllers, different colors, themes, etc were never free.

Difference is pretty simple:
DLC you need the game to play it.
I don't need to buy The Show to use the controller....

Re: Anybody, like me, break down and purchase the new contoller?

Where can I buy/pre-order this controller? I actually do need another controller, and since the only games I own for PS3 are MLB The Show 08-10, I might as well get the controller that goes with the games.

I searched the Best Buy website and couldn't find it (ideally I would like to get it there, since I have a bunch of store credits that I would like to spend).

I preordered mine at gamestop when it was first announced:

I pre-ordered mine the day they were announced. I am first at my local store for the controller and The Show. As I walked in the manager laughed and said that he knew I was coming in today when he saw the Show pop on his computer for pre order's.

Our new puppy ate one of my controllers leaving me with one. Really, I am serious. So I guess I can wait a few months for this one :-)
