Buy.com has the GameCube G3 Wireless Pro Controller listed for $11.54! Price mistake you say? Seems like it because it's selling for at least $34.99 at BestBuy.com and other retailers.

You can add it to your cart, but it says 'On Order' once you do. You can continue with checkout, and with a little luck, once it gets in-stock Buy.com will ship it to you. This is a great deal if Buy.com honors this deal! Hurry, as with all deals selling at ridiculous prices, this is a YMMV deal.

Don't forget about Buy.com's new $5 off $50+ coupon! (Since coupons are allowed to be posted on AT, either google for it or check out the site in my sig).

damn that's an ugly controller.

but honestly, I wouldn't by 3rd party brand controllers. I've experienced them enough to know that they just don't hold up to original Nintendo brand stuff. But then again, for that price, you could buy 3 of them for the price of 1 wavebird.

I dunno...you get what you pay for.

Yea, I have to admit, it is one ugly-ass controller.
 
Yeah give me a WaveBird any day. Besides, Buy.com has a "list price" of $14.99 for this controler, so Best Buy may be selling it for $34.99, but perhapse other stores (including Best Buy) have this item over priced.

I always felt that the "list price" shown at Buy.com was always a bit high compaired to the retail price so they could emphasize their discount price. So if Buy.com is showing a low "list price" then....... yikes this controller may not be all that.

A bit off the topic, but I noticed that you post a lot of deals listed at VGtalk.com . Kind of a subtle way to SPAM your own website eh?
 
This controller (wireless G3) seems to be priced $30-$35 everywhere, and reviews seem to be good. But this is definately a price mistake, if you mouseover the pic of the item it says model 7003 (7008 is the wireless, 7003 is corded). It appears they have mixed up descriptions/pics and model numbers so this will be a huge YMMV. They have the wireless model correctly priced here -> Buy.com. More details on the controller available here on the Pelican G3 Wireless Pro.
 
You can check out a review for it Here.

Basic summary states it to be better than a wavebird, check out the review for more detail look at features and how it performs.

Credit for finding the review goes to Rhyx who posted it over at another forum.
 
Update: Buy.com has correctly fixed the sku/price for the G3 Wireless Pro (to what use to be the sku/price of the non-pro it was replacing). Also they corrected the description/picture and all that stuff for what should have been the G3 Purple Corded controller for the 11.54/14.99 price.
 
Another update: Some people said that their orders were cancelled but as of today the G3 Wireless Pro is in stock (at new price and correct sku) and they are appear to be shipping the rest of the "price mistake/mixup" orders that were not cancelled. Mine was shipped via USPS and I will update as to what I receive when it comes in. A quick note I never received shipping confirmation email, I just manually checked my status daily on the buy.com website. Gratz to all those that get their orders shipped and sorry to any whose order was cancelled. Merry Xmas.
 
Final Update: Received the controller in the mail today, big thanks to buy.com for honoring the mistake. Received the G3 Wireless Pro and included a free set of AA batteries inside it, have yet to test out the performance but it looks good and specs look nice. Merry Christmas Everybody.
