looks ori to me. but the best way to see is to view it's 3D hologram sticker on top of the controller. if no 3D efect then it's a fake.

RM100? Dun just talk lar...show link plz. Standard market price is around RM150 wireless give or take.

Anyway, i dun believe there is fake XBOX controller yet gua. Usually those fake one have the packaging misspelled ...like FOR 360, FOR X360 etc....instead of FOR XBOX360.

There will be no link on this coz some ppl scavanging from those console sales package.

If you buy a controller with green plastic bag only, you can get such a price. They're ori but they should belong to a console bundle. People should stop buying this kinda stuff....

You know how these people sale stuff today..... esp those greedy chinese traders (and I am a chinese too.....just not that greedy and I'm definately not a trader)

hmm...i don't see anything wrong with that. Handphone seller do this all the time. Maybe buyer has tons of controllers at home and dun need one. So he gets some discount, and seller can sell the controller to someone else. Win-win, i'll say.

When i bought my Omnia 2, i didn't want the 4GB mem card and bluetooth headphone either. So i get discount...and the seller can sell those stuff to someone else who wants them.

It's wrong based on the point of view that some shop just hide the bundle and sell things inside separately to unsuspecting customers i.e.:dishonest

Then when a unsuspecting customer go in, they show a cheaper price console and then said this don't have you have to add more money to get these. win win situation? I see customer is on the losing side.

Unless customer requested ones but I don't think there're so many customer requested that till some can have entire box to keep in the store.

I believe in your case, the Omnia 2 did not bundle with the bluetooth headphone as a sales package but rather a separated gift from the shop as there're no special package announced.

I see what you mean. If customer don't know, then it's of course dishonest, but if the customer is made known the option , then it's fair deal. Furthermore, most handphone shops will try to remove some accessories and sell at cheaper price due to competition. That's why it is cheaper than official price. Buying handphone is actually even more riskier business, coz too many conmans and what's not. Buyer have to be aware of the official paackage contents and price so that they know what they're getting for their money.

Yeah, we all fall to con artist scheme if we don't aware of what we're going to buy.

A lot of case I see is actually people do not honour the package to unsuspecting customer and those how knows will stay far from these sellers.

A lot of people have a grap in handphone information but not many people know about gaming. some people unsuspectingly brought pirated copy, mod their console from shops which either and fallen victim to piracy.

Some dishonest shop even laugh at you when you said you want original games and I've yelled at those shopkeepers for countless of times.

There're even a shop in KLCC beside Sony Style selling original game but the price is so prohibitive (well, a platinum games cost RM17x, imagine that...even Sony Style's game is cheaper than theirs!) and these people just said "they're original, of course they're expensive".
