:( Does anybody know why?

See, I just bought a second controller, and now my first controller, the one I've had for about a year is randomly shutting off on its own. It disconnects and pauses the game, so I reconnect it, and then it just turns off again. It's pretty frequent, and started happening yesterday. The battery life is great, I've even tried adding new batteries, but it still shuts off. If anybody out there knows why this is happening, or has had this problem, please help. Thank you in advance.

Mine was doing that a few days ago! It might have been the battery, but I repeatedly shut it off and turned it on, and now it works fine..

Damn that sucks if it is "going dead." It's like shit, I just bought my second controller, and just like that I'm down to one controller again... >_>. Well thanks guys for the help, I just wish there was more knowledge about this, you know something that'll give me more certainty on why it's shutting off.

Even though I'm not much of a phone person, I guess I could do that, it certainly wouldn't hurt to try.
