XBox 360 PSA of the Day

For anybody that plays games heavily reliant on the thumbsticks (I'm playing FNR3 right now) the XBox controllers are apparently notorious for the rubber covers on the thumbsticks wearing down and/or tearing altogether.

I first noticed a slight tear in the cover on the left thumbstick of my wireless controller. Then this morning I discovered that the cover on the right thumbstick of my wired controller was barely attached it was ripped so bad.

I went to GameStop today and bought these:

They're made of silicone and they popped on in less than 30 seconds. Not only do they protect the thumbstick, preventing any further wear, but they have SUPERB grip. No more thumb slipping and accidentally hitting Start or Guide buttons during FNR3!
