What was the dumbest gaming accessory(ies) you got?

Mattie G Indahouse · June 02, 2015, 05:22:38 AM

For myself it was the original cooling fan add on for the 360. It was the one where you plug it into the consoles power outlet and the power card plugs into the back of the fan. If anything that thing caused the system to heat up more than what it was supposed to do which it fails. The other thing which I got in 2011 was a Turbo Fire 2 controller. That thing was a piece of shit. It was too big and the design is shit which made it awkward to hold and use. The thumbsticks on the thing are rounded up and have no grip to them so your thumbs easily slide off them. For battery life it might as well not even exist. When using the turbo mode you will drain the batteries withing minutes.

I remembering paying slightly over $100 for the second game because it came with that. I wish I didn't trade it in for GTA 4 since the songs for that game I found were good.

I remember having that thing. It was even more useless than that controller I got. Unless it can be use with the internet app I don't see any purpose for it. The amount of messaging you would do wouldn't justify it.

I had something similar for my GBA, it just made the machine bigger and gave me some controller-esque handles and a spot to attach a light

Did it come with a screen magnifier too? I might be getting a couple of things mixed up, but I think we had the same one.

Naoto · June 02, 2015, 12:50:48 PM

I never liked the glasses.
Good ol' worm light was enough for me.

Coconut Marty · June 02, 2015, 12:53:38 PM

I bought this stand for the Wii that would glow blue, could charge two batteries, and was supposed to cool the system. Honestly, I didn't need the thing. We already had plenty of outlet-based chargers around the house, tons of batteries, and how the fuck was a Wii going to overheat? Either way, it glowed blue, which made the system look a little cool at night, but that never made me want to dust it off and play it.

I had one of those as well. Was kind of a bitch because I didn't need a magnifying glass to play a fucking video game, I just needed a light.

Turns out the magnifier I was thinking of was the one from Naoto's post, definitely.

The other thing was like this, but for the GBA.
