No Water Damage http://www.product-reviews.net/2010/09/17/waterproof-ps3-and-xbox-360-controllers-no-water-damage/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=waterproof-ps3-and-xbox-360-controllers-no-water-damage http://www.product-reviews.net/2010/09/17/waterproof-ps3-and-xbox-360-controllers-no-water-damage/#comments Fri, 17 Sep 2010 08:23:38 +0000 Daniel Chubb http://www.product-reviews.net/?p=108711 Since the first PS3 and Xbox 360 released we have heard about a number of controllers that have gone wrong thanks to water, which Sony or Microsoft may not replace accidental damage under warranty.

One gamer that spilt water on their PS3 controller had problems with the analogue stick and buttons after, although not all controllers are this temperamental. At the time of writing we have not been able to find any controller on the market designed to take water damage or that could be used in a hot tub.

Game stores are getting requests for waterproof PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers in the UK, U.S. and other countries. The question would be if the market were big enough for a controller that can handle water damage.

Sitting in a hot tub playing Halo Reach or COD Black Ops would be pretty cool, but parents have also asked for these controllers thanks to adventurous kids that will put controllers in all sorts of places, including fish tanks.

Would you love a controller that could be cleaned thoroughly with water without the worry of water damage, or could go through hell with children and hot tub parties? They are needed now, but where are they?

I do not want to start a huge debate here, but even though I do not own an Xbox 360 – I love the feel of the larger controller in my hands.

However, there are always alternatives to the PlayStation 3 controller from Sony, and PSU has two for you. Those are the Pro Elite Wireless and Pro EX Controllers; both come with textured grips and a soft-touch coating for added comfort.

That’s not all; the buttons glow for when you are gaming in the dark. The price for the Pro EX is just $19.99 and the Pro Elite Wireless will cost just that bit extra – $49.99. However, the extra $30.00 is worth it, as you are getting much more for the money.

PSU knows one thing, these controllers from the POWER A series will be the only ones you will ever need for the PS3, but would you agree?
