Anyone know if those controllers are available locally, and if so, how much? My logitech game controller broke and that sure didn't last long...
im not sure about that but i do know that you can find adapter cords for your xbox say that's a xbox controller plug in to usb, so you can use your existing one as a joystick like peripheral. These arent really sold retail though as far as i know but there allways seems to be some floating about ebay (ive seen ps2 ones aswell by the way), cheaper then buying a new controller alltogether.

Yeah my last logitech controller broke after a month or so (it was a dual shock clone and the left thumb stick died, it is a known issue I found out) Replaced it with a nice thrustmaster.
There you go, that's exactly what's wrong with it! Left thumb stick is broken (it seems to signal to the PC to move left all the time) [:(] It seems to be such a fragile gamepad - I didn't even get to use it much at all.
There seems to be a huge price difference between PC and console gamepads. Hopefully the the Xbox PC controller will be reasonably priced. Having an analog stick makes all the difference in driving/air sim games on the PC. I bought a analog joystick aimed for flight sims which I use in Battlefield 2. It's awesome, and with a tiny bit of practise I am able to turn the heli on a dime and land/move exactly where I want it to.

As for the 360 controllers I think they are only getting an american release same time as the system (possibly a little earlier I think for the PC branded versions I heard talked about) so I would expect the same in australia, but certainly not localy available right now.
