Quantcast



Just in case your living room wasn't ugly enough, Microsoft is happy to help you out. The company has announced that Limited Edition Halo 3 Wireless controllers, a Halo 3 headset, and the long awaited Xbox 360 Messenger Kit will hit stores on September 4. 

The two Limited Edition Halo 3 Wireless controllers wear the art of Todd McFarlane, feature the Covenant Brute and Master Chief, and will cost you $59.99. If you want to look even sillier while playing Halo 3, you've got to get the Halo 3 logo emblazoned green and gold wireless headset, which also will cost $59.99. 

And finally, the $29.99 Xbox 360 Messenger Kit will include the fancy back lit Chatpad that attaches to the bottom of your Xbox 360 controller, as well as a special headset that attaches to it. Not a bad price, and I'll finally be able to answer all of those "A/S/L" messages I always get on Live.

Gees, if someone game be this, I think I would immediately go online and buy a new shell for it so I could replace it. That or take it to Wal-Mart for credit.

The controllers are damn ugly, but I kinda like the Halo 3 headset. I think the color scheme works for something smaller like that as opposed to a giant 360 console. Plus, if people don't like it to be in the line of vision, it will get hidden under my long hair anyways.

The art would be nice on poster but on a controller is just nasty looking.

I want that stupid keyboard so badly haha. I used a Sidekick for song long I'm ready to tear that thing apart.

The keyboard isn't so bad, especially if you use or plan on using the messenger service. Supposedly it's comfortable and works well.

Everthing else, despite how hideous they are, will sell like hotcakes just from being associated with Halo. It's sad... they could have at least pushed out something less pug-fugly.

Seen these at X`07, the Halo Controllers are nicer than you`d think and had a nice gloss to them (and McFarlane designed!) Saw the pink and blue controllers and the chatpad too.

You know a peripheral sucks when you hit Goatse after a few posts.

These are absolutely horrible, apart from the chatpad which is pretty good I spose.

That's a nice blue. If they made a pad with that blue and those stars on it I'd buy one. But that Headset is revolting.

Sixty for an uggo controller? That's almost as dumb as a green and gold 360!..........wait......Microsoft is making that? Well lets hope they don't go crazy and advertise on cans of pop or "soda"......

Dammit, where's that pink controller they showed along with these? I want my pink controller, dammit. The art on the Halo controllers is good, but it looks about as attractive as asshole and dead cats when placed on a controller.

Pink controller. Give.

right, keeping shipping re-skinned 360 controllers. God forbid they should come up with a dedicated FPS controller like the Splitfish.

Well, if Microsoft sells more than ten of each of those, then this country has gone to hell. That, and THE TERRORISTS WILL HAVE WON!

I was kinda excited about the xbox live messenger chat before the spring update came out. When it did, I got the impression that they were using it as a bullet point to sell their windows live messenger service to investors and advertisers. I honestly believe that - because the service is so crippled. Requiring you to sign up on windows live messenger? Then give your info to friends? Garbage... you should be able to text chat instantly with anyone on your friends list. If it worked the way it should, I would buy the chat-pad.

The rest of that stuff looks god awful. Worse than most of those hideous face-plates they try to sell us.
