[edit] Critisism

That whole part seems to be completely biased and only refects on their N64 controller. Wikipedia is not a place to vent your frustrations. Plus, the article cited doesn't say anything about the company loosing money due to shoddy products. Infact, the guys from Reviews on the Run/Electric Playground are very (sorry but I can't cite this) pro-Mad Catz. Personally, I am too. But anyway, I'm erasing it, and anybody who thinks that they can cite sources on that and expand on true critisims, by all means, go for it. ^---SilentRAGE! 09:51, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone else think the comment "the cheapest products and break easily" is just someone who got a bit wound up when they broke their Mad Catz controller? Either way, it's innapropriate and poorly worded, so I am deleting it.

I've had pretty shoddy luck with a few of their products personally.

• The N64 controller - analogue stick wore out very quickly, some buttons were a bit loose
• a multi-system RF adaptor - contact pins were misaligned out of the box, very difficult to get a color signal
• PlayStation 2 memory cards - I/O speed decreased gradually until finally the card became intermittently write-only or even completely inaccessible within a couple of months

There are more, but I can't think of them right now. After all that mess, I've stopped buying from them. 24.40.172.245 14:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC) I'm considering removing the overly long list(s) and moving them into a "list of products" section, thoughts? As is, the article is hard to read; the listings seem like an attempt to keep it from being a stub --69.247.164.232 20:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
