  • Fake/Counterfeit Xbox 360 products

I recently bought an xbox 360 controller from Chtaura, lebanon. When I took it home and opened it up, i noticed it felt a little different from the one I already had. On top of that, it wouldn't connect to my xbox 360 slim that i got from Canada. I think it might be a fake but there is no way I can tell. Has anybody had this problem before? I bought the controller from the Ghazali supermarket in Chtaura lebanon.
As far as i know, i have never come across fake game console controllers (Xbox or ps3 as a matter of fact)

That being said, i really don't bother and just go and buy the original.

Nino stores has all original hardware, it cost me 60$ for a controller back in my day but it still works flawlessly.

You could easily tell by the packaging if it was fake or not.
all individually sold ps3 controllers are fake including nino's and the original ones are the ones that come with the ps3
you can lnow only by opening it and checking its battery

what exactly do we need to check on the battery to confirm?
even virgin megastore sells fake?
I can confirm that Nino's Xbox controllers are genuine

At least when i bought one some 2 years ago.
that's an article on it

but theres a guide that I say a couple of years ago when I opened my controller to make sure it isn't fake
the one I got from nino was fake and the one that came with the machine was original and you can know from the battery
if it was a blue chinese one it would be fake and if it was a sony sealed battery it is a genuine one
All of the Xbox 360 fat consoles or old PS2 consoles are all counterfeit and have many problems.
The reason they're importing such crap is because customers nowadays aren't caring about being genuine or not. All they care about is being cheap and having them work.

The reason of the Xbox 360 console is that people aren't getting convinced that the new slim models are modifiable. No matter how much you try to convince them, they always give up on the purchase and keep looking for what they want.
So it seems things have changed over time

Glad i got by with my controllers.
