I mean we can get tens of hours per charge such that it's not a big deal to charge when I'm not playing, but for $150 I'd expect something like hot-swappable battery packs. High-end wireless mice have this.

For me the best part of the conference, Awesome controller... but the price? Seriously? 
Ahahahaha.
For the Wii U Gamepad it was always: Why 130? There are cheaper tablets out there!
This one doesnt even have a screen.

Really excited for this.
A "pro" XB1 controller was rumored months ago - and I thought last weeks new XB1 controller reveal (with the new headphone jack and improved bumpers) was all that was coming.
Im interested to learn about the sensitivity settings.

Thanks for locking me in at $90 Amazon!

Looks like an 8 way gated d-pad as opposed to the 4 way cross pad of the original. Probably useful for fighting games that require circular rotations.

If my mouse and keyboard weren't on sale when I bought 'em, that's about how much I would have paid.
And I do enjoy a distinct competitive edge over most other players on PC as a result (mostly thanks to the fact that I can keep movement and interaction controls entirely separate and self contained - everything I ever need to do is usually on the mouse, and I never need to let my fingers off WSAD. Keyboard could be better but I play shitloads of ARMA and wanted the macro buttons), so I'm not too bothered by the $100+tax price I did pay.
I mean, I'd never pay that much for a controller, but I don't play competitive games on console, and I wouldn't blame anyone who does for desiring this.

looks like it's a cover that is placed on top of the bare dpad

I'll buy it, the bastard's know I'm going to buy it, so I'm just going to try and not give my dealer the smug satisfaction of looking me in the eye while I buy my next fix.
Amazon Canada had a price mistake before they took it down. It was available at that price for a short period of time.

One Hundred and Fifty What?
I see these dipping in price rather quickly.
And then there are those...
Teasing, but seriously, it is as much as a racing wheel.
Must be to make up the Kinect losses.

I'll find it on sale.
It's fully swapped out.
watch the trailer
I see it being discontinued rather quickly...
Why would they price it the same as their normal controller?

Neat controller, as my interests lie with racing games. A wheel and pedals is only like $100 more though.
Will really have to see reviews first.

I'm hoping to catch it on Black Friday for $80-100. I am NOT willing to pay $150 for a controller. Hell no.

Half the price of a console? Nearly the price of a 3DS?
Gimme a break.

The Scuf equivalent of this controller is about $200 and doesn't include a headphone jack, extra parts or a case. Just some perspective for people complaining about price.

$150 is the new $600.
Define "good"...
We are talking about competitively play here. My KB/M/Mousepad combo is over 300 easily.
This whole thread is non-enthusiasts basically saying that enthusiasts gear is worthless even though they have never used any or competed on a high level (admittedly).
Its very strange...

Seem really nice despite it costing half the price of the console.
