Thanks, tried to order 2 blacks, but it says limited 1 per order. But then if you do separate orders , no free shipping.

Of course they do. Any authorized Canadian retailer. They WILL add on shipping, since the total is below $39.

That site does not work very well. I didn't even pickup some computer cables that are $2.99 - 4.99 which I found manually by searching amazon.ca

Why are people paying for shipping here? Why not just buy a $5 book and get free shipping. Still $39 each and a free book.. no?

FYI: $35 + $5 = $40, not $39.
Still a decent idea though if it saves you $4 shipping.

Tell them to pm, and buy 2 controller(no need to add shipping), then return one, will this work?

He would have had to purchased them separately. It's limit one per order.

I bought 2 in the same order. I'm pretty sure its a limit of 1 per color, so I bought one white, and one black.

Can anyone advise me if the controllers will work with PCs? Is the wireless adaptor included? Is it USB based? Etc.?

That wireless network adapter is such a ripoff.
Just buy a WRT, set it up as a bridge/AP, and plug the system into it. Much cheaper and more functional. Other computers can use it too.

The black controller has been removed from my cart.
Apparently they are now OOS on the featured deal and this deal is now dead.
Let's hope this is a sign that the controller will soon sell for this price from other retailers too. $35 for a controller seems reasonable, but the $50/$60 currently charged at FS/BB is too much.

Pre-built computers are a rip-off too.

I seriously doubt it accessories is where BB/FS make alot of their Margin...for video game stuff.
59.99 is way much for a Controller I agree. But no one is forcing you to buy things MSRP either...

Thanks for that info: I guess I'll wait 'til I see the Logitech wireless controllers on sale then... that extra PC receiver adds $21 to the price.

That's why I only have 1 XBOX 360 controller. I use my PS2 for multi-gamer play.
