While Nintendo revealed the upcoming Wii-exclusive GoldenEye at its E3 press conference, there was no mention made of fancy, special controllers.
The leaked information (which panned out to be legit) did, however. It showed off two a "gun" shell for the Wii Remote and nunchuk, as well as a golden classic controller. What would those be worth to you?
GameStop seems to think $69.99. The retailer is listing a "James Bond: Goldeneye Controlller" on its website, although it provides no details other than that Activision is behind the peripheral.
Seriously, $70 for a peripheral, possibly even a simple (if cool looking) shell? It's possible that the listing could be referring to a game/peripheral bundle, which would make more sense. We'll reach out to Activision for comment, but in the meantime, let us know: what would Activision have to be selling for you to hand over $70 for a controller?

Good times.
I also read that due to complaints about using Nunchuk style for FPS, that's why the Classic Controller (+PRO) have been implemented for the game.

Could be good for a luxury Christmas present. Heck I wait until <a href='http://www.blackfridaybuying.com/black-friday-electronics/black-friday-video-games.aspx'>Black Friday to buy video games</a> and accessories. May as well get it a bit cheaper.
Provided you don't play with the shell outside of your basement, you shouldn't get the smack down from the swat team.

I have some True Kush will that work? There is also some Jack Frost sitting around here too somewhere...

Seriously not worth a $70 investment for a controller housing .... unless possibly its bundled with an actual Wii controller and nunchuck.
What this fine gentleman said.
The man with the Golden Classic Controler Pro always wins. Where do I insert my $70?
And yes, I am fully aware that the CCPro is worth $10, I just bought one with Monster Hunter 3 Tri for $60. $50 game + $10 CCPro.
I don't care.
IT'S FUCKING GOLDEN!
Can't wait for the game though!
XBOX HAS NO CLASSICS
People that want to lose can go classic controller, though.
The gun? Do not care, but if it is sold separately, it'd sell well at $20 and probably not so well at $30.
PASS.
that is blasphemy!
Those images have been purposely leaked to keep people guessing and generate PR for the game.
