The NEW XBOX 360 Gamestop Game Controller – Released 10/22/09

When I first heard Microsoft and Gamestop were releasing an exclusive controller design together I was pretty skeptic on how the controller would actually feel, look and play. In the past many of these “special” controllers have been crap, an example being the Halo 3 controller when Halo 3 launched. The Halo 3 controller was very slippery to hold and was put horribly together.

Microsoft and Gamestop have changed all of that. This new controller feels great to hold. It has a new red and carbon fiber look design. I have had no issues with the battery life or range of use.

As seen below, the packaging is still in its annoying plastic which would slice the head of an elephant.

Once the packaging has been removed and you hands torn for days you are greeted with an amazing carbon fiber mixed with color controller.

The charge cord is your standard charging cord. All-in-all it is a very clean and very well put together controller.

WHERE CAN I GET IT?

The controller is exclusively available at your local Gamestop store or at Gamestop.com. It retails for $69.99, so it is not too bad of a price. Similar to the standard controller with the plug-in-play included.
