Controller warranty is 90 days (might be 1 year for the one that is included with the system). It is based on your your purchase date on the receipt. I only buy controllers from Walmart because their 3 year warranty is so cheap.
Unfortunately, censoring discussion of the topic will not resolve the issue. It's a well established fact that these controllers have an almost eventual drift issue. The only way to "move on" is for a major hardware revision to take place.

I just sent mine in for service under warranty for the second time. First time, left bumper had issues detecting input. Now I'm getting stick drift on the right thumbstick. 0/10 would not recommend
Is there a way to get an extended warranty when buying this from Verizon? Since these things are notorious for having various issues.
When you get it log into Xbox.com and go to your account overview which will take you to the Microsoft site. Look for the serial number on the back and add it to your account. Even if it's out of warranty they charge $80 to get a refurb. Had stick drift on mine that was out of warranty and had paid retail $250 and there were no deals for a new one so $80 wasn't bad. I also didn't have to send out my old one so if you have local repair shops it should be an easy fix for them or you can DIY and fix it for $20 in parts.

I have 4 in a drawer my guy. I prefer them because they feel bigger to me, they have the metal joystick to prevent shaving the stem (which creates issues), and they feel heavier. So I keep buying them. But they are pretty trash for the price tag.
