Special Edition red 360 controller drops to $50 photo

Anyone that knows me personally knows I am obsessed with all things red, but even that could not convince me to purchase this Limited Edition wireless red 360 controller, which was originally priced at a whopping $64.99. It does include a Play & Charge cable in the package, but still, that's like, more than the cost of a game!

Anyway, if you're cheap like me but enjoy shiny red things, you may be tempted by the $49.99 price point at Buy.com for this baby. Sure, it's still a ton more than a regular 360 controller, but it'd make a good stocking stuffer or gift to a friend. Speaking of which, if anyone wants to give it to me, feel free.

Hmm, I may just pick up this awesome Char Custom controller. $50 is more reasonable.

It's funny, coz' last I checked, the standard retail price of a 360 controller was still $50. Not to say one can't be had for cheaper, but I believe that is the MSRP and you'll find plenty at that price...

I kinda want this, it would match my Red Zune, but Sadly if I do buy a new controller anytime soon I would have to go with Dual-shock 3 i need that more than a pallet swap controller. heck i already have a black and white one, although i could use a new black one since I burned it with a cig last month

I heard that a lot of them are defective.

Something about a squeaky thumbstick.

Meh I wanted one awhile back when I was on the market for a controller, but I decided to go with the wal-mart limited edition controller they had, mostly because it came with a matching headset for $60.
