XB1 Elite Controller ($150)

Ok, I was intrigued but that's too expensive.
(No, not because I can't afford it, but because I don't think it's justified)

I was thinking about buying it around... like ~$80. (for those who say OH REGULAR XBONE PAD IS 60, let's get real. You can get those regular pads for around $40 easily if you looking for them) But no way in hell $150 lol.
 
so uh, any links to buy (UK please) for the revised controller (not this elite one) with the fixed bumpers and the PC dongle?

when is it actually out?
 
I'd love to have one, but couldn't justify spending that much for something that could easily develop some sort of niggling fault as controllers often do over time.

are you in the UK?

£45 just above. same as the stock controller, cheaper than the dualshock 4.
 
Not sure why people are complaining about the price, it's a premium product that's not for everyone and is arguably the best 'mainstream' controller ever made.

Hopefully it paves the way for the permanent inclussion of rear paddles etc for the Xbox Two and PS5. Not that I have much faith in Sony ever making a good controller.

I hope I get it for that price. Can they change it afterwards or would that be illegal? :P

I am pretty sure they have to honour the price.

Legally they can refuse to fulfill the order, but not to increase the agreed price.

Do I need to be a mod to take note that all the replies just stating "lol $150 nope" or "$150 what a rip" are people that are clearly uninformed of the costs of custom controllers and other premium accessories? Is it too much to ask that people don't post the same innane thing about the price point when it's more then justified?

Yes, you cant ask people to stop posting their opinions.
 
Microsoft could've charged 99,- and people would be okay'ish with that. 150 is a bit too much. I know this Elite Joystick is ment for the die-hard gamer ... It's still too much.

... gonna save up some money to buy it anyway. Thing looks great.

Custom made... Each controller isn't hand crafted by a technician. They will be mass produced in China.

And yes lol it is a rip off.

Miss-priced at 45 quid on GamestopUK!

Either they left off a 1, or they've mixed it up with the other new controller! Worth trying your luck and hoping they honour it at least.

Aand it seems to be gone.

Was about to buy two but the UK to Hungary shipping costs are fucking insane for all of these forwarding services. I wasted my time looking for a reasonable one.

Yeah it's gone.

Will they contact us about the price?
 
Wow, that was a fast shut down by GS! Luckily I managed to get my order in before they closed it, thanks to you fellas.
 
Here in the Netherlands ... joystick prices vary from 40 to 55 euro's.

I can live with this one being 75 ... due to the tougher materials being used. However, 150 dollars (which will turn into euro's, im sure) is a bit TOO much. I know scuff-controllers are that pricy ..

We'll see what the real-price will be. This joystick will be the ultimate trolling device. Can't wait to play FIFA 16 at a friend and press start all the time without anyone noticing.
 
Boo was in the middle of ordering mine. International purchasing needs to get easier! Still got my Amazon preorders for my two bundles of love. I honestly don't get the anger over the cost these are manufacture made modded controllers. They are probably higher quality than a comparably priced modded controller too!
