Looks like white shark that doesn't bite.

Surely microsoft had to approve of them in order for them to sell those controllers anyway?

 

[babybeluga]

It's always fun to see the big companies suing for change!

And yet M$ didn't and they were still sold

 

[christop]

yep a total copy..

 

[HalJordan]

I sometimes think Apple and MS have more attorneys than engineers. Did Datel think they could skirt underneath the MS lawsuit radar? Dumb.

 

[ricardok]

Soon we will see Datel winning MS on court just like others have won against Nintendo..

 

[Marco925]

Meh, third party equipment breaks even more than the original equipment.

 

[tehramen]

Xbox? HAH.

 

[mycpumelted]

Looks like M$ is just trying to get money. Rapid fire controllers are nothing special.

 

[Clintonio]

These third party controllers never offer anything decent, and only sell because of people who need to save, or parents/grandparents who don't know the difference between the official and the knockoffs.

 

[HavoCnMe]

Sucks for Datel.

 

[dreamphantom_1977]

Jinkies, you think they would have at least made it look different instead of an almost 95% copy. Idiots....

MS's obsession with keeping XBOX proprietary is why I got rid of my console.

yep, pc all the way.

 

[counselmancl]

God kills a kitten every time an XBox is sold.

 

[Assmar]

LOL D-Pad still looks better than that on MS's own controller.

it doesn't matter if MS loses the suit. Datel is done for anyway. the lawsuits themselves are what will screw them up, the results are secondary
