vaseline to plug in cords to controller? (really)

[Mike Schmidt]

George;

I too have had the very same problems just recently with 2 controllers. I am also here in Minnesota and I feel exactly as you discribed that there may have been some cheaper version dongels used. My wife usually does the plugging, and since she couldnt plug these cords I stepped in and REALLY had to work them to get them in. And I think these were 2008 controllers.
