    God that's hideous, they could have atleast carried on the carbon fiber texture into the radioactive sign..

    Or, even better, completely redesigned it .

    ROFL! It's because that is an UGLY looking controller, it's stands out enough but now it just screams...tool.

    There's plenty of awesome looking controller designs and stuff out there, hell, you can get skins too. But 70 bucks for that?! No way.... #xbox360

    Bleh. I find this controller a lot more subtle, and a lot better, even though it's handpainted, making it even more impressive!

    I find it easier to just paint mine a solid color. Not a big fan or graphics on my controller since they'll fade anyway.

    Plus that looks like shit. #xbox360

    @Super Violent St. Cannon- GOTY Edition ([k]):

    I agree, the tragedy here is that the controller looks tawdry and overworked.

    Did you really need the dull red and the texture? Honestly, they could have gone for the good ole Xbox green, at least then it would be mildly tolerable.

    The dark red clashes with the orange-y red of the 'B' button. #xbox360

    @Rachel Fogg: Black with green would be awesome. I haven't painted either of mine yet [Black for my 360, white for PC]. I'd only paint my white controller. Black is fine the way it is.

    I did paint my Xplorer metallic blue though :) Needs another coat around the strum bar.

    @Wolfgang Wozniak: You could buy it as your PC controller you know if you pick up the 360 controller PC wireless receiver dongle. You can find them for about $15.

    On-line link here for those interested in purchasing. It's tempting, but I really don't need another controller. Can't believe Wal-Mart would get such a stylish exclusive of all places. #xbox360

    The red makes it uglier than a Browns vs. Bills game. It's an affront on decency. I won't bring something that ugly into my house.

    My budget likes the combo deal, but my eyes are allergic to bad taste.

    That is balls expensive for a controller, I must say. The color scheme isn't exactly the cream of the crop, either. It looks like an evil beach ball.

    @mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: So basically you were just making a general comment that ALL wireless controllers are expensive? The DualShock 3 costs the same for controller alone, and the Wiimote/butt plug combo cost $70... so... I guess I don't understand why this comment is on this particular news story, you made it sound in your initial comment like this particular controller was unreasonably expensive compared to other controllers. Please explain. #xbox360
