Man, this looks so ergonomically frustrating. I hated the first one, too.

Truly genius; this'll encourage people to launch their $100 device at everything and I'm certain will end up in countless "why doesn't my controller work anymore" posts 😂

Interestingly, it has no mouth.

And yet, it must scream.

I dropped mine last night and it did not scream.

Supposedly Big Picture has to be open, but I can't test it as I do not have one.

My wife is getting sick of me talking about the Wilhelm scream and how it's time for it to die.

Real glad I didn't pick one of these up now.

Strictly speaking, you're really glad that you didn't drop one of them.

It might have been funny at once time but the Wilhelm scream was already stupid and overdone decades ago.

You sound like a party pooper

Unless it's baked into non-rewriteable ROMs, I imagine that someone might come up with a way to stick whatever scream you want into the thing.

Honestly I'm surprised that isn't a customization option from the start. Change it to be GLADOS or Wheatly or something complaining about being tossed around

“Because I’m a ~~potato~~ controller!”

GlaDOS (probably)
