Microsoft will be releasing two new colored controllers for the Xbox 360 on September 30th. These limited edition wireless red and green controllers will come with rechargeable batteries plus the Play & Charge cable for $64.99.
I'm all for new color schemes, but what's so special about red and green? If you're going to have a limited edition color, why have them look like an everyday color? If the controllers were gold, platinum or multi-colored, then sure, I could understand them being limited edition. Otherwise, this should be a permanent type of deal. Well, at least you're saving $5 with this controller as normal wireless controllers cost $50 and Play & Charge cables are $20.
Check out the red colored controller after the jump or check out the gallery for bigger sized pictures. So who's going to be picking these up?

Don't really see the point of getting one.
is he instead refering to the new colours? i knew they made games but had no idea they also came up with the concept of varied colour!
nooo of course not i kid,i kid. but really, i guess this headline was made to conjur up a bit of fanboy flaming as we havent seen anything to kick up a storm lately. its not like FF jumped over to MS or anything so we need an excuse to get everyone screaming at eachother
OMG MICROSOFT NEVAR CPOIED N-SHITTY4 U DICKTARD LOLOLOLL!!! MSLEADS IN INNNOVATONN AND NINTNDO BLOWS TEH WII IZ 4 BABIES N GRANNNEIES ROFL!!! XBOX360 IS HARDCORE 4 LYFE! HDDVD IZ MAKEING A COMEBACK XBLA IS OUTSELLING EVRYTINFG NU GAY LMFAO!!
I might get the red one; it's my favorite color, lol.
None of the controllers Xbox has released (besides the pink one) are nice shades. Did someone at Microsoft spill Kool-Aid on their controller and decide that instead of admitting that they were a dumbass, that it was really the 'prototype' for the new color controller?
