I don't like the 99,- price either, but the joy cons are too expensive even when compared to that, imho. I love the idea of them but wow are those ever uncomfortable for me, it just feels like a different class to me.

I also loved the OG Xbox BIG CHUNGUS, so, you know, different tastes for different people

Yeah, it means I'm buying only one rather than multiple.

I'm hoping that a lot of more games will make use of the touchpads this time, even if only by publishing a custom mapping

Same, thought about buying 4 at the get go with a more reasonable cost. But at a c note I'll do one and test it out. Then keep an eye out for the sale in a year.
