Are BNS METAL PADS GOOD?

the ONLY problem that I have with the redoctane pad is that it has two extra arrows that I will not use...

P.S.--The only way that my decision will sway, is that if I see some videos of the BNS one's performance and durability. The BuyNShop website needs to get a video section to show their pads in action(their ignition pads, metal pads, etc.), that would probably be the best thing for them to do right now...so they can get known for making great dance pads.

Hmmmm well due to popular demand i guess i will take some pics with my cell phone and post them.......They maybe foggy tho, But im sure u can get an idea. I know im taking a big risk with these BNS but I will most definitly post my 2 cents about it. Like i said, I will decribe everything from the feel of it, to what the heck is inside it. I hope these pads last longer than 2 weeks.

There a place called Game Zone in Gilbert, Az, and I went there and they only had one metal pad left. I told my Mom I did not want it because I did not trust the company Game Mate. I decided to go with their ignition dance pad instead, it died within a month of owning it. My Mom ruined my Konami pad that came with the bundle because she folded it up even when it wasn't necessary...so far I have broken three normal soft pads and two ignition pads. I need a metal pad sooo bad!

well, at least its settled that BNS is better than RO.
Ro uses aluminum foil for contacts.
BNS uses sheet metal.

Am I still a raging idiot?

Dont worry frozen, you made the right choice.

So...

The Red Octane Metal pad has a crappy contact system, and a confirmed case of the pad itself falling apart.

99% of stories around here about BNS are horror stories. Granted, most of them are not told from the owner, but from a "friend". But it is quite odd that not one of these hearsay stories are good. I guess I don't need to explain who makes up the last 1% of good stories.

I guess it's good having these discussions/arguments, because after looking back, all it shows is that there is one good buy: a Cobalt flux.

It's sad, when I am almost tempted to spend $180 just to get you to shut the fuck up. It's almost like talking to a brick wall. You completely ignore the fact that every single person that had an experience with a BNS metal pad, was bad, except for you. I can look back on about a dozen posts that mention that the pad works good for a few weeks, then breaks down, whether it was theirs, or a friends.

CRYPTO IS CORRECT BNS metal pads are better than RO metal pads just for the hell of it i bought both pads the same day they got to me the same day and guess what the RO pad just died totally on me and i have done verything that would make it work again it seems like the ro pad has the same problems as the cyphergames pad with there circuit boards the boards just fry them selves but this bns pad man it roxs now i use this and my cf pad so im happy

Unbelieveable, totally unbelieveable. You guys tend to drag out an issue about these damn pads too long and too damn much. Just say your piece about your pad and just leave it at that. No need to argue about the damn sh*t. Hence, this thread might get shut down like Iguanagrrl did the other. Crypto, I ain't tryin to start no beef with ya, but I read your previous posts, and what ya said in the beginning is all good, but, please no nore arguing on the BNS, you made your point. Sh*t's gettin' old.

This will be the last off-topic post in this thread:

At crypto's request, I have reviewed the thread for flaming that may have gone overlooked. As I'm really the only active mod on Console Games, I can occasionally miss things, and I appreciate crypto pointing it out.

Housemaster has been warned one point for calling crypto a "dumb$ss".
Crypto has been warned one point for calling Housemaster a "scumbag".

I feel this is a fair and just decision, and anyone with a problem with this can PM me.

Anyone else personally attacking anyone else on this thread after this post will get three points, no questions asked. It's about DDR pads, folks - this isn't gang warfare. End of discussion.

I would urge anyone wanting some decent info on a BNS pad, to look at this thread:

You may be in for a shock.

Praise allah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, crypto's statement about me not having an experience with a BNS was false, I really did. Friend bought one.

Anyways, haha, crypto's wrong. My friend must have just got a bad pad, because they are pretty much exact copies of the RO.

I find it funny that crypto, who reported flaming, got banned because he flamed.

What goes around comes around, I got my consequence, he got his.
