Microsoft Intros Chrome Series Special Edition Xbox 360 Controllers

btarunr · Apr 3, 2012

Microsoft rolled out the Chrome Series special edition Xbox 360 controllers. As the name suggests, these controllers have a chrome finish. The top-side has a metallic/chrome surface, in three color options: red, blue, and silver, while the D-pad has a silver chrome finish on all three variants. Slated for mid-May, these controllers are each priced at US $54.99, availability may be limited, and specific to select markets.

I wish they would bring back the big original xbox controlers, those actually fit my hands.

If they were actually chrome and not just paint, I'd be interested.

I was wondering the same thing seeing as that I need mine to be wired so I can run the chatpad.

That would mean M$ wouldn't get to earn more from overpriced battery kits. Wired doesn't exist in the M$ approved Xbox world

"Wireless" is written on the box.

I thought you had to add stripes for that.

MS let the old dog die with dignity. It feel like they are trying everything to extend the life of this old console.

Fixed that for you.

Why cant they make a regular black pad with that twist change d-pad?

The first one was a less offensive colour, but had those stupid grey abxy buttons that would screw me over whenever one of these stupid quick time event's happens.
