Didn't realise Microsoft were forcing you to buy it, i think the standard controller for £30 is what you want, this is a pro controller for the hardcore gamer.

Bargain. I love mine. Playing with the normal xbox and playstation 4 controllers after playing with this feels like your playing with the player 2 pad you had in a draw for when you mates came over back when you were a kid.

£100 for just a controller....
The industry has lost its mind....
When you are losing a battle and losing it bad this seems like a silly move....

Was about to say the same thing, 100£ for a **** controller??
In what world does a 100£ controller go with a 200£ console!!
Frik me....

this controller is easily worth £100, it is a work of art. The quality and design of this controller is amazing. The industry hasn't 'lost its mind' - Microsoft have designed an absolutely incredible controller for those that want it, those that don't, then don't buy it, simple.
For me it was the best £109 I have ever spent on a controller......(from amazon)

People who buy these are the same who pay for overpriced DLc and continue to massage the egos of the companies willing to exploit the consumer.
this is not a deal, its an xbox one controller

This controller is brilliant. There are lots of comments detailing why. While there are serious advantages to having a controller with these features, it sure isn't for everyone.

I don't understand your logic. It's a premium item. If you can't justify the price, you can ignore it. It's not designed for your average player. There are much cheaper options out there.

This is not about how much the product should be, this is about a deal, there still £110 on amazon ect, £100 is a deal

I'm a keen gamer. Pc/ xbox / ps. Regardless.. £100 for any controller is actually insane. Almost makes me sad.

Its a Pay-2-Win controller.... If allows you to legitimately and ultimately cheat and have the advantage over your competitors who have the normal controller by default. Its BS really when you think about it.

Agree shocking price. Only clicked the deal as i thought it was a misprint lol I assume you are all using this for PC gaming, it would be wasted on a console, better off putting the cash towards a PC for proper gaming.
Now ive put the cat among the pigeons im off lol

Don't buy it then. Pretty simple. There are cars worth millions and cars worth a couple of hundred. I guess if you were a millionaire you'd stick with the £500 banger. Because, you know, "no matter how good the car".
You get what you pay for. Want a premium controller? Here it is. Don't see the point in it? Don't buy it. Stick to your stock controller.
Nobody has lost their mind. Just you don't seem to understand that people have choices. Some are different.

I've owned it since launch. Might be the best controller ever made. The build quality is fantastic.

What's with all the "...." It's a deal because it's less than normal, that's how it works.

No no no, you're doing this all wrong. This is how you do it properly >
I suggest you try the controller first then you will relise why its costs this.
You may realise your standard controller feels like a plastic chocolate egg.

So glad I went for this when GameStop last had stock, so much better than the standard controller

Seems like a lot to me, too. Maybe I'm just old.

You're not old, you just lack context. "Just another controller" is no different than someone not armed with the proper information saying "just another car" when you consider the relative difference between a cheap Fiat and a Formula One racing car. Or saying of Messi "he's no different to Robbie Savage".

No, it's a lot by anyone's standards. There's no way in hell I'll pay £100 for a controller...

It is a lot, and I am old, but... I am also weak so I will get one eventually

Fair point.
Although I still find it strange anyone would defend such a pricing policy.
Whilst I can take some of those examples and explain how and why honey production techniques and size of company and their ethos' and quality of ingredients and parts alter the cost of a product....
Microsoft produce two items in (I am guessing) a very similar way under the same quality checks and similar qualified designers.... Yet whack "elite" on one... If this controller is so so much better and makes their console better why would they not replace it to be the standard one? If it's twice as good as the ps4 and Xbox one standard one I'd imagine that would be seen as a good way to claw back some sales in the battle they are losing no???
Or is it just a crude way to get gaming snobs to part with even more money :wink:
