Ugh, why the do we let them get away with this price gouging?

Can't you just mod a regular controller? Pretty sure there are like 500 Youtube videos on the subject.

It's a wireless controller bundle with a play and charge kit and apparently a second battery.. it's less than retail on the three items separate. Not a deal to me, but a deal to some.

The MSRP for this is exactly the same as it's always been for the Wireless Controller/Play & Charge bundle only now it comes with a better controller.

WTF? Amazon currently has it listed at $52, but it's "Ships in 2 to 5 weeks". Goddamn! I was hoping for a deal on the damn thing for black friday, but there won't be a deal on shit nobody actually has.

Ordered 1 from Buy.com on Sunday and got it yesterday. I'm very impressed with it so far.

You people are seriously overpaying for this. And for what reason exactly? Because of the convertible D-Pad? because it comes with a play and charge cable? It's ridiculous that MS wants $65 for this to begin with, $51 is still overpriced. If you've used a regular 360 controller for this long, you don't need this new one. And if you really feel you do, wait for it to hit sub $40 at least.

It still blows my mind that MS doesn't include a charging cable with the console. Talk about nickel and diming, my goodness.

Last I heard, it's a limited edition. What I want to know is will they start making black and white ones with the fixed d-pad?

Like this Limited Edition red controller that came out two+ years ago? http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Limi...D44W/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1289488252&sr=8-9

Microsoft has said they're not putting the convertible D-pad on any other controller but this silver one.

Haha yeah. That red controller was around forever. I'm sure that Amazon will get more in stock before black Friday.
