Half the time I buy a system, the controller is missing

[Video_Invader]

Bought the following systems missing controllers:

 

Magnavox CDI

Panasonic 3DO FZ1

Original SNES

PS2

Sega Saturn version 2

All my other systems have controllers. Does anyone have any spares that they don't need for these?

You should try WTB forum and ask if anyone got spares.

Sorry, I JUST sold my spare PS2 and 3DO pads.

 

If I can just say one thing.... your luck has spared you the experience of having to play the CDi by not giving you a controller

Yeah I know it's not the greatest but still want to try it. I have Hotel Mario and another game I forget the name.

You bought the systems, surely you can buy the controllers too...

 

Unless maybe it's all related to this kind of behavior.

Ps1 controllers will work on ps2.

Are these thrift shop purchases? Virtually every time I see a console at a thrift shop, the controllers, video cable, and power supply are considered "optional extras" and are priced separately (if they are available at all).

 

PlayStation (and PS 2) controllers are very common; you should have no difficulty finding some. The CDI, 3DO, and Saturn are (in my experience) rather less common.

For me, its always the ac adapter that is missing.

I have more of the opposite issue. I have a 3DO Capcom fighting controller shoved in a box in a closet somewhere around here.

Same is true for the CDi Roller Controller, probably in the same box in the same closet.

 

Pretty sure I bought them specifically because I didn't know what they were. Probably when I had designs on building a multi-system controller. Pretty much abandoned that plan for the foreseeable future. Same reason I have Bally Astrocade controllers. Though, I wouldn't mind getting one of those systems at some point.

 

To the OP: If you're in the US, PM me. I could probably be talked into to parting with those two controllers if they interest you. I have no way to test them, though.

I always get broken controllers with my systems... has happened several times lately and really pisses me off.

My thrift shop are funny. One Goodwill almost always have a PSOne, PS2, and Gamecube console only while one Salvation Army half a mile away always have controllers, video cables, power adapters. In between is an used game store that always has the game but no system or controllers.

You should buy systems half as frequently, then every system you buy will come with both controllers.

Or buy twice as many systems since only half come with controllers.

I could care less really. They'll eventually come along. Where I live though, it's scarce to find anything game related. As for the ps1 working on PS2, yeah most games worked but when I tried to play Fatal Frame 2, I couldn't run where I wanted to. Just one way.
