Taking a cue from Vicarious Visions and their recent release Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, Microsoft is fusing two things together that should never be: the colors red and black (on the flipside, think Venom and Iron Man). The above is a wretchedly glossy wireless controller slated to hit retail on October 15, to be exact.
The peripheral comes with a Plug and Play adapter and possibly a rechargeable battery. Microsoft didn’t announce this thing (wonder why), so we’re a tad unsure of what the total bundle is. Still, we’re confident that the publisher will ship these things in a magical box of awesome. The 70-dollar price tag demands some sort of voodoo packaging.
If you need a controller that looks like someone with a belly full of red and black crayons puked on it, look no further than this two-tone beast in the header. We're sure it'll work just fine like any other controller Microsoft-certified controller, but flashing this bad boy is definitely not going to win you any style points. No, definitely not style points.

They will love it.
Also why hasn't anyone made a titanium or atomic purple colored anything, two proven awesome colors constantly ignored.
I did just order the Red controller from amazon though, I wanted something that... wasn't white.
2. Like others have said, fix your d-pad and maybe I'll give a shit when a new controller comes out.
Finally the PS3 gets some real competition in the 'who can make red and black look worse' category. Microsoft wins AGAIN!
Oooooooowwwwwwww
Also, I no longer care about plug-and-play battery packs, having had three of them die, all after exactly one year, under everyday, ordinary use.
Release neon atomic purple nao plz.
Kidding, naturally. I kinda' like it. But it'd look way better in lime green / gray, to match the system. The D-Pad definitely shouldn't' be red either, that looks weird. Granted I'm a graphic design major, I can say these things. =)
