How much were the ps360 controllers?

How much were the ps360 controllers?

Post by PS360 »

Let me get a few things across first, I don't want to buy one nor did I bother ben about buying one, Yes I PM'd ben but he hasn't got back to me, I've looked, didn't see.

Now thats done I have a few questions, did he make them and sell them or did people give him the money for supplys (plus some) and he made it for them? About how many did he sell? Did he ever put one up for sale on ebay, is so how high did the price get?

Edit: I was thinking about $100 - $200, but I wasn't really sure what price inbetween them, or if it was WAY over that (which I doubt)

Thats about all, thanks!

Pretty sure hes not making them anymore, but he documented it pretty well. Why not just make your own.

Yeah, insult someone who's trying to help.

Why do you want to know anyway, if you don't want to buy one.

Are you being an idiot?

Someone tries to help you and you bite their head off?

Let me tell you this. He wont reply to your pm. The only way for you to get your hands on one is to make one.
nor did I bother ben
Yes I PM'd ben
No one will make you one.

And why would this matter?
did he make them and sell them or did people give him the money for supplys (plus some) and he made it for them? About how many did he sell? Did he ever put one up for sale on ebay, is so how high did the price get?

If you bothered to search the site you would have seen that Ben wrote:PS360 controller - Check out the how-to article I did about it for Engadget. This controller projects takes me a good solid day to do and when I have done it I have to charge way too much. If you’re willing to wait a month and pay as much as a system costs for a controller then maybe I can help.

This implies that they're somewhere between $250 and $400 USD.

:roll: It's not like the search feature is well hidden... All I did was enter "PS360" and hit Enter.

As for your other questions:

Did he make them and sell them or was it a commission? From the sound of the article it was an original work, no commission.

About how many did he sell? My best guess is a handful at most.

Did he ever put one up for sale on ebay, is so how high did the price get? No idea.

Why are you so interested in this if you don't want him to make you one and you don't want to make one yourself?

Sounds to me like he wants to make and sell them on ebay, he didn't say that he didn't want to make one, he said he didn't want Ben to make him one.

Spliting arrow accuracy, nice. 8)

As for people flaming me, PLEASE read this...

I don't want ben or any one else to make me one, I simply wanted to know the price he sold it for and maybe (if I could) how many he sold, thats all, sorry if I got thw wrong message out...I didn't think I was that tricky with words...

bicostp, I did look there (before and after you posted) and I have yet to see where the price is implied, under the comments is where I think you mean.
