well it depends what 3rd party u get-i ahve the chunky joytech contoller and ive had it since august and its still going pretty gd, and my friend had a load of 3rd party ones and the joytech lasted the longest of all of them, the wavebird (official nintendo!!) was the first to break. ive never had any corruptions, but i really dont like 3rd party mem cards even though u can get like 2000 block ones. most 3rd party sucks, but some can be pretty gd.
