Default The - TOTALLY USELESS CRAP - thread

This is the opposite to the - I WANT ONE OF THOSE - thread

Post any kind of rubbishy, laughable gadget or product that you've come across. I'll start with this gem i saw on nzgameshop.com;
http://www.nzgameshop.com/xbox-360-a...-play-xbox-360

Seriously - "Fills negative space between body and controller, promoting comfort and boosting stability." - WTF? For those too lazy to hold their hands out in front of themselves? Or even just rest them on your knees whilst holding the controller?

They actually look quite good. I wouldn't mind one myself; I hear they are more ergonomically comfortable than the standard controller.
I'd not pay more than $10 for one though >_>

If I play 360 for a long time, my hands start to cramp up from curling around the controller. It's worst in my little fingers, so anything that makes that bottom part bulkier would probably help.

That said, no way would I buy that thing.

Apparently the person with most Xbox360 gamerscore uses the Xtendplay.
I'd probably never get one.
I did think about getting those thumbstick addons for better precision.
But decided it was just snake oil.
