As much as I'd like to like this, I don't trust PowerA. I work in a game store and I've seen probably at least half of the PowerA stuff I sell returned as defective pretty quick. Not a good sign. Hori is where it's at.

Kinda sad for those people to return stuff so quickly. Power A is really good at honoring their two year warranty .
