Poll: Black and Red 360 controller?

[The Kangaroo]

This fine beast of a controller is the new controller being sold by Gamestop on October 15th for a hefty $70 and although not formally announced by Microsoft, Gamestop will be selling it anyway.

Now whether or not the $70 will be worth it is up for debate, but the fact that it is by far the best looking controller to date and will sit proudly upon my desk alongside the majestic ODST collecter's edition controller looking fabulous all day long.

Now whether or not this controller will add to the gameplay experience is questionable to say the least, maybe the AI will be captivated by it's glorious sexitivity allowing me to gun them down again and again, or maybe it'll just be another hole in my Swiss-Cheese esque bank account.

Do you think that this juicy, sexy, attractive, other synonyms for hot controller is worth the extra $20? I say yes!

This seems to be highly opinionated so let the battle...COMMENCE

I remember doing stuff like this with the N64 controllers. I'll buy one.

 

[Flap Jack452]

It's cool, but I wouldn't rush out to buy it unless all my other controllers had broken and I needed a new one anyway.

To be honest, I think that controller looks as tacky as hell. I wouldn't want to place it anywhere near my desk, let alone my console.

 

[mikecoulter]

Looks pretty cool. I'd want my 360 to match it though.

Well said sir. The only place for this thing is in a jar of thermite

 

[mysticite]

No. Also I have a thing against the coloured buttons on a coloured controller and no, it just brings back bad memories of colour matching and fashion dressing.
I guess it's fine for people who have money to throw around.

My un-sexy 360 controllers both work fine, so I'll pass.

Best looking controller? That thing is hideous. I'd rather it had and all red top and the back plate be black. I will not be spending $70 on this anytime soon.

Now that's a good idea

 

[ElephantGuts]

Maybe I just don't like black and red color schemes but I think it looks like shit. My clear 360 controller with pretty lights is much nicer.

 

[Starnerf]

That is really ugly. And I bet it's not even real carbon fiber.

You mean like clear plastic?

 

[Julianking93]

No controller should cost that much

 

[lostclause]

Are the lines to correspond with the RROD?

 

[Joshimodo]

Eh, looks ok. I'd think about it if I needed a new controller and it was black and white instead of black and red.

 

[Mad World]

In my opinion, no; it's just got different colours. More colours, yes. But, I don't think the additional colouring warrants an extra $20.

Personally, I think it looks really neat; however, I'd rather save money and purchase a more plain-looking controller.

Just my two cents.

 

[Eternal_24]

$70 for a cheap paint job? No hardware upgrades at all? All you're paying the extra money for is some paint? Go fuck yourselves, Microsoft.

So you'd hate a rainbow one? (don't check your mail)

Yes. And lights. Like this [http://technabob.com/blog/2008/10/17/xcm-crystal-makes-xbox-360-controller-clear-and-bright/].

Looks like a Spiderman one.

I don't have any Spiderman games, so no not worth it.
Plus I only have a very broken 360, so defiantly not worth it.
