Very nice of them to add hall effect triggers for improved longevity so that you can trash it even sooner than the Pro 2 once the non-replaceable battery dies out.

Thassodar,

Are you talking about the battery in the Pro 2? My understanding is they use TMR sticks that use less battery. And even if/when the battery dies I’ve been having no issues using it wired.

tomalley8342,

The Pro 2 was notable for having an easily replaceable battery pack which was also compatible with standard AA batteries, and now the Pro 3 will be removing this feature in favor of an internal battery. I was implying that although the Pro 3 includes a new hall effect sensor for the triggers which would marginally increase its lifespan, the Pro 3 will likely need to be thrown away sooner than a Pro 2 because of its new irreplaceable battery design.

Hadriscus,

You should still be able to disassemble it and solder on a new battery if you have the tools, the time and the knowledge

Thassodar,

I was thinking about my Ultimate 2 anyway, so my comment didn’t matter. Maybe I’ll get a Pro one, some day.

I have 3 of their controllers and never had issues with the battery

tomalley8342,

I have 1 of their controller, the Pro 2, and I never had issues with the battery, and will never have issues with the battery, because it takes standard rechargeable AA batteries. Unfortunately I can’t say the same about the Pro 3.

brisk,

It’s not replaceable? That’s disappointing. I expected better of controller manufacturers since they’re not space constrained.

ISolox,

I can’t speak for this controller specifically, but all of the 8bitdo controllers I’ve had seem to been fairly easy to get into and repair.

Although it’s not as convient as the Pro 2, I wouldn’t say it’s not replaceable.

I love everything about the ultimate pro 2 but the ergo. Sn30pro2 is my go to but miss the dock and back buttons. So this might be what I have been looking for

I already have four of the predecessors and only use one of them 99.9 % of the time. But.

The era of financing gooner skins for your waifu has arrived

thermal_shock,

It always existed with credit cards.

Don’t do this.

Don’t finance DLC purchases. If you are that bad off for money, you need to just play the games you already own.

tonyn,

…or go make some money instead.

ech,

Thanks, I’m rich.

tonyn,

Have you tried playing the video games you already own?

the_crotch,

You gonna pay me to do that?

otacon239,

Or just don’t finance any non-essential purchase. The idea of financing anything smaller than a couple thousand dollars is just wild to me.

Mirodir,

What’s also kinda wild is how those plans often have 0 interest rate as long as you’re able to pay the installments on time. Which means in theory you MAKE money by using them because you can earn interest with that money in the meantime.

It ALSO means they know the people using those services are so bad with money that they can sustain themselves (and make a nice profit) purely by their clients failing to pay on time and then selling the debt to debt collectors. It’s absolutely disgusting how predatory this is, making their money mostly on the people who’d need such a system the most (and to a smaller amount, on people who don’t care).

paraphrand,

“What?! We help people budget!”

“What?! We help people when times are tough!”

“What?! 73% of our customers pay us zero interest!”

NuXCOM_90Percent,

Financing can actually be an incredibly good idea if you expect inflation to increase at a greater rate than the interest. It literally saves you effective money.

That said, it also tends to involve a credit pull (which hurts said interest rates) and becomes a monthly bill.

So if you can afford the monthly bill AND it is a meaningfully large purchase AND you have every reason to expect inflation to increase more than the interest rate? It is actually a pretty good idea.

For even a 200 dollar battle pass: no, it is not.

Gotta pay off that Doordash burrito first before dropping $50 on skins.

I’ve seen this, also recently popped on on car insurance payment. definitely feels like more and more people are going to end up in debt prison soon.

DivineDev,

Ahhh, prison for people who can't pay their debt, where they accrue even more of it since they can't work... Could this possibly go wrong?

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

Now I can afford delivery apps too!

Putting everything on credit is a great plan if you expect the world to end very soon.

Ganbat,

So it’s a great plan, then! Let’s go!

ech,

Only if you’re right.
