Gaming accessory company Turtle Beach has announced<\/a> it\u2019s getting into the controller collecting game and buying PDP for a cool $118 million. PDP getting bought could be a good thing, depending on how you feel about its slate of generally affordable and fun-colored controllers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Turtle Beach has added a lot of accessory irons to the gaming fire in the last couple years, including forays into flight yokes and the recently-announced Velocity One racing wheel<\/a>. It sells controllers too, but it only began doing so in 2021<\/a>, and doesn\u2019t sell any for PlayStation or Nintendo consoles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gamepads are PDP\u2019s bread and butter \u2014 and it\u2019s got licenses to sell them for every major console. The company\u2019s most recognizable ones might be its GameCube-style Fight Pads for the Wii U, themed after Nintendo characters and nakedly intended for Super Smash Bros. <\/em>enthusiasts. You know, those who insist that the gigantic green A button, small red B button, and kidney bean-shaped X and Y buttons represent the One True Layout for that game. (I tend to agree.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Today\u2019s announcement apparently could\u2019ve been very different, as Turtle Beach writes that before it decided to buy PDP, it also considered selling itself<\/em><\/a> to another company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
