You have put a lot of information out there. I'm a PC gamer, and I thought it might be useful to collate and summarise for the benefit of people like myself, in the market for a new controller.
The Elite Xbox One/PC controller + GOW4 is an overpriced deal because...
-Buying an expensive controller is like buying weight loss methods or drugs
-Newly released PC games are £20-£25
-While comparable in price, the cost of optional PC peripherals vs optional Console peripherals is invalid
-Extortion means as many words into the dictionary definition as suits my argument
-If you buy a controller for £100 you're an idiot. If you disagree with me, you are bad at games!
-The best available deal for a product is not a reason to vote it up
-An PC built for less than the cost a PS4/Xbox One will run the same games at double/triple the framerate.
(And you can do other things on it too!)

This is a deal thread. No one wants to read this pc-favouring spiel. I play on both, no point in favouring one over the other. I can't play Undertale/Papers Please on console, and i can't play Bloodborne, Halo, Mario etc on pc. Swings and roundabouts.
Heat added. After all, it's prob the best pad you can buy for pc :wink:

Just hold this controller in your hands for 5 minutes and your standard Xbox One controller will feel like a cheap Chinese copy

What has that got to do with it? My spare budget PC can run games at triple the FPS of a console and I can do so much more with a PC.
You also don't NEED a mechanical keyboard and there is a tonne of gaming mice that aren't too expensive such as the rival. You've compared the price of a game and a controller to a mouse and a keyboard too, very intelligent.
I can get about 4-5 games that have just been released on pc for £99 you Joker.

Whats FPS got to do with comparing mechanical keyboards to controllers?

Because he is comparing a mouse and keyboard with the price of a controller and a game.
While a PC maybe a little more expensive than a PS4/Xbox to set up now (due to keyboard/mouse) there are several factors at play.
A PC itself can be made for cheaper/the same price and run games better than a PS4 and Xbox, with ease, at double and even triple the frame rate, and thats for the same price.
There is also extra factors with a PS4/Xbox, most people will buy a great TV, just like PC users buy a 144Hz monitor.
I'm not here to argue with you, because well, simply everything I've said is fine, and £99.99 for an Xbox controller and one game is extortion, lol.

Why have PC World featured a picture of the XB1 game's box? Surely the offer features the PC version of the game given that it's a controller also designed for use on PC and it's being sold by PC World?
Edit:
Ah, I see that it's Currys PC World as opposed to PC World so the offer is presumably for the console crowd.
