Look familiar? It's the controller we've come to accept and (possibly) love from Microsoft, the Xbox 360 controller. But it's a different color, big deal. Is there anything new? Perhaps a fixed d-pad? Sadly, no, there doesn't seem to be anything different from the red controller to the white one. The only slight difference I can feel is a slight resistance when moving the left and right analog sticks, supposedly to make more precise movements easier. The d-pad is still the same, the buttons are all the same, the layout is all the same. No difference.

Then why is it labeled "Limited Edition"? It's old school. Back before "Limited Edition" meant having a toaster and laser beams attached to something, different colors were fine. So for the holiday season, the Red controller and Green controller, which I still haven't seen, are being released, because Microsoft thought people needed more colors and they just happen to coincide with Christmas colors.

So would I recommend it? Yeah, of course. If you want it for the same reasons I got it because:

1) You need a new controller
2) Your favorite color is red
3) You've been wanting a Play & Charge Kit bundled with a controller
4) You're obsessed with electronic accessories
or
5) All that stuff.

But don't expect it to cook you eggs and include blowjobs.
