New Xbox 360 Controller Coming Soon

by GH Staff

Known as the Special Edition Arctic Camouflage controller, it features imagery that is supposed to represent environment covered in snow. The announcement comes from the official Xbox website, which displays a price tag of $54.99 – however, no release date has been mentioned as of yet other than a “Coming Soon” displayed on the page. This is a generally random reveal from Microsoft – a “new” Xbox 360 controller with a generic design probably won’t sell a lot of units but shows the company are still thinking the Xbox 360.

The Xbox 360 insignia can clearly be seen on the left side of the controller.

Nothing has changed in terms of features aside the arctic camouflage design – it’s all well releasing different variations of the same Xbox 360 controller we’ve all come accustomed to over the years, but it would be interesting to see future controller variations on the Xbox One. The controller will only be available in wireless with no apparent plans of launching a wired version.

With the recent announcement of Halo 5: Guardians, it shouldn’t be too surprising if 343 Industries and Microsoft come up with a Halo 5 themed controller or something along those lines. Are you the kind of gamer who prefers the standard controller or do you enjoy the novelty of customized hardware? Perhaps you customize your own? As always, leave your comments below.
