Can someone tell me why the fuck xbox made the end of their controllers detachable? I decided I wanted to play my xbox on my new plasma and the end of my fucking controller is gone! Now I'm gonna have to order another one, and won't get to play until I get my other controller tomorrow! Damnit!!

You can drive over to Blockbuster or Wal-Mart and buy an extension cable for the xbox. They are basically the end controller things only they are really long because they're extensions. They're pretty cheap too.

Have a fun drive. D

I like those things, they save some stupif friend from yanking his controller when he gets killed from making your plasma fall over and break

just go to the store and buy the cheapest used controller they sell for your end piece

will an extention work? I figured an extension would run between the controller and then end that goes to teh xbox, so i'd still need that end to get it to work... if that made any sence at all...

The extension thing is the smaller part of the controller that you're missing.

It looks like this right?

You're missing the bold one, correct? I lost the same thing and I bought the extension thingy at Blockbuster.

The extension is just a really long one of the bold one that I made.
