Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller - Gears of War 4 Limited Edition Review

Carlos writes "Back at E3 2015, I was sat down for Microsoft’s briefing, waiting in anticipation to see which exciting new games I would be spending the next year emptying my wallet for. So when Phil Spencer got to the stage to announce something new and unique for console users, we had no idea the next thing we would see light up the show would be the Xbox One Elite Controller. With an elegant and sleek look alongside customisable features it immediately become an in demand product. So when E3 2016 rolled around, the announcement of an improved look to coincide with the release of one of the greatest franchises in Xbox history blew it out the park for me.

So how good is the Gears of War Elite Controller?"

Sounds super cool, but wayyyy too expensive.

The whole point of custom and special editions is to put more money into them.
No one really wants a sticker. Im glad MS is putting effort into making real special editions of controllers and consoles.

@Kwiet

I agree, hard to swallow a controller costing 2/3 of the MSRP of an XBOX One S (and not much less than the cost of some of the fire-sale OG XBOX One deals we've seen cropping up for $220 or so). It might be a great peripheral, but damn...I'm not knocking its existence either. It's optional, and options are always good but in my mind they'd have to hit $99 for the base Elite controller for me to consider that a good value for what it offers over the standard controller. Wonder if Sony will offer something similar to this at some point...

Simply amazing.
