Microsoft Has No Plans to Sell Standalone White Xbox One Controllers

Currently, the only way to get your hands on a white Xbox One controller is to buy the Sunset Overdrive bundle, and it doesn't sound like this is going to change anytime soon.

Asked on Twitter if Microsoft had any plans to offer the white Xbox One controllers outside of the bundle, executive Aaron Greenberg said: "Not planning white controllers at this time."

That's a shame.
I wanted to buy an additional white controller to go along with my white x1...

[Robochobo]

I'd try ebay or craigslist and see if they people are selling them there.

I'd be worried about the price. People were selling the Day One edition controllers for upwards of $100 on eBay when the console launched and it just has a 'Day One 2014' stamp on it with a chrome D-Pad. I want that white one though. May just pick up the military edition that I saw at Best Buy for a back up.

That's a loss for MS. This controller is the go-to controller for PC gamers too. They would make the profit back real easy as most gamers would buy atleast 2nd controller.

I wanted the white one. The X1 controller is my favorite of all time.

Now they're actually making a military camo controller.. Why not just the white one too??

Yeah if you're going to spend that kind of money on a white controller, you should probably hop over to scufgaming and get yourself a white scuf controller. They are quality controllers, trust me.

this is just PR talk to move the SSOD console to those really wanted the White one. trust me, give it 2-3 months top after SSOD launch, they will sell it as standalone.

In time you will be able to pick blue, pink, green, whatever color. The original 360 was a white system with white controller, eventually there were tons of colors offered (I had a blue and red one). So just give it some time and you'll have plenty of options :)

Who in the hell asked Greenstinch?

Go to the man Phil and ask him or tell him we want them and see it get done.

[sinspirit]

That's not how it works.

Are you not aware that some of the bad news is told by people other than Phil? Because, people are hyping him up to be the new good guy. He's given the good messages so the public likes him and makes XBox look good, he provides ideas but doesn't actually do much of anything; he's basically just a public representative. This is why the negative news isn't being told by Phil.

[Software_Lover]

It was a joke, sorry I should have put J/K at the end.

[Death]

You would think white controllers would be a no brainer and available at the same time the white consoles hit shelves.

Perhaps they want to add value to the bundle. It makes it a bit more exclusive.

But, I do want one :)

[PONTIAC08G8GT]

There are people who are willing to trade in existing X1 just to get a white one. So by keeping all the white items together, it makes it more exclusive.

"So by keeping all the white items together, it makes it more exclusive."

sounds....oddly racist in a way, lol.

[PONTIAC08G8GT]

Haha I thought same thing when I typed it, but I just said "eh, whatever" lol

[MasterCornholio]

Well that's weird.

:I

[Sarah_Ch]

Ugh:( then I should buy a second Bundle to get another one

[Skankinruby]

Let the hype of the sunset overdrive bundle die down and I guarantee this claim will be reversed immediately

[Pogmathoin]

Whats wrong with the hype for SS? It was fine for TLOU.... is it because its Xbox? Does it bother you that much? Too much salt for you?

[Sarah_Ch]

The white ps4 controller hit shelves even before the console did, so why not?!

[user9597082]

Or you can do what I did and just buy a seven dollar shell of any color of your choosing on eBay and diy

That's really nice. I'd love to see the logo colors reversed, as well.

[ImHyjack]

They both look sweet nice job

[Toiletsteak]

Damn it i was hoping to pick one up, if you do change your minds Microsoft don't make it GAME exclusive those people make it to high cause they know you can't get it anywhere else.

[DJustinUNCHAIND]

Why?! I would buy one immediately.

[ImHyjack]

They always say that not just MS Sony's done the same song and dance give it 60 days oh look limited edition White X1 controllers

[Minute Man 721]

Don't worry they will

[Ripsta7th]

Thats what they said about the white xbox

[Father__Merrin]

this is clear enforcement to get you to buy a white Xmas bundle, no thanks pal!

they should offer white controllers, will sell very well as limited run for Xmas

[No_Limit]

It will happen sooner or later. There is even a gold x360 controller for god sake.

[mx104]

Just buy a replacement shell from ebay and follow youtube vids to replace it. I done it with a new green shell and looks awesome
