Agreed with the guys above, I was expecting some sort of customisable controller, little dissapointed.

 

I've never bought into the whole themed controllers, I don't really see the need for them. 

 

Well, no. BUT is everything you buy because of need ? I'd wager most of what you buy is want, not need.

Given that I only have one controller for my XB1 right now, want or need doesn't come into it :p

 

I have bought second controllers in the past but right now, I won't be buying a second one unless I do see a need for it.

but you didn't "need" the XB1 did you :p

 

I however do, since 720 and below at 135-150 inches leeks less than ideal  :p

shush with your logic, you sound like my misses!

 

It cost me a pair of boots and a handbag to convince her I needed an XB1!

I only ever bought one for my 360 (needed a spare for local co-op), found Halo3 custom for cheap in best buy( sub $25).

I don't buy special edition controllers that just offer skins.  I did buy a halo controller for the 360, but that actually offered a custom paint job with a slick look.  I also bought the last new one for the 360 with the updated d-pad since it was an actual redesign of the controller hardware.

 

This skin just doesn't look great, its too busy and 'bright' in style for my taste.  If they want to do a custom paint job for a controller, maybe base it on the color scheme used in the Titan interior, something that makes it feel like part of that universe.

    • Finally we can whole-heartedly recommend the AMD 9070 GRE thanks to this discount by Sayan Sen Earlier this month at Computex 2026 AMD released the Radeon RX 9070 GRE for a global audience. We reviewed the GPU and it scored 8 out of 10 for gaming and 7.5 out of 10 for productivity including things like AI performance. The card launched for $550 which we thought was a bit on the higher side, though currently you are getting the chance to get the Gigabyte Gaming variant of the GPU for just $500 thanks to this discount (purchase link under the specs table down below). As such we can finally whole-heartedly recommend this GPU. The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specs of the Gigabyte Gaming RX 9070 GRE OC is given in the table below: Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB GDDR6 GPU (GV-R907GREGAMING OC-12GD): $549.99 + $50 discount with promo code in mail => $499.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only. If you don't like it or want to look at more options, check out the previous deals that we have covered, OR you can also visit Amazon US deals page.
