I copped the controller. I've been wanting to pull the trigger on an elite series 2 so this is perfect timing. Can't wait to play this one.

 

[dcmk7]

I just managed to get one

 

[Max_Po]

The controller looks sick...

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

The console is badass and the more I look at the Elite controller the more I like it just dont need another one in my life right now (I keep telling myself anyhow)

 

[RoadHazard]

So incredibly ugly. Even if it wasn't, I've never understood why people want consoles and controllers branded with a specific game.

 

[Gameplaylover]

Out of stock already? Ffs

If you are from Europe: I just ordered one from the Italy Store.

 

[sw0mp_d0nk3y]

Hoping for "in store" Gamestop preorders, because I have an easy store nearby that usually takes a while to sell out. You can still spam the microsoft store if you have one in your cart. Not getting me anywhere though....

 

[cormack12]

Same here, it says one per person...so do you think we should cancel one I dont want them to cancel them both.

Have you cancelled? I have two in the basket as well.

 

[ManaByte]

That series X design is fucking awesome. If I didn't have one I'd grab it.

 

[M1chl]

Well I already have XSX, I don't like Halo, I don't like most of the special edition consoles looks hideous. But I really like this one. FUCK

 

[Helghan]

That console looks amazing. Really thinking about buying it, and selling my XSX for a loss, merely to get this edition.

[DenchDeckard]

Cancelled my Forza controller and went with the elite Master chef! This has been an expensive day!

 

[DenchDeckard]

Just went to check what CEX would give me for my xbox and its more than a PS5 currently. What a turn of events!

[reksveks]

Console is hot, it's looking so nice.

 

[Concern]

This looks nice. Can't wait to see more of these soon.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Because they are fans of the game franchise in question and have the money to afford it. What other reason do they need?

November 25th?

Possible release date of Infinite then? If this was the last 360/ps3 generation this would all but confirm the release date. Most all games were physical pack-ins back then.

Also, Rate T for Teen is absolutely confirmed now. Kinda disappointing, this all but confirms no flood. Or a complete redesign of the flood where body parts don't fly off like in previous Halo games (the only reason for the M rating of previous Halo games).

And people are already putting preorders up on Ebay

Will probably be taken down.

Nah. They might chancel one and you do, too and both are gone.
It's a common issue. I don't think they cancel 2

 

[EverydayBeast]

Seems like making an alien shooter limited edition console would be an easy thing to do, the console looks good but it’s not using classic halo purples, blues etc. it has to look alien.

The vent is cortana blue I think. Instead of green. The rest I thought was just forerunner style tech with a space sky lol

 

[DenchDeckard]

Im going to keep both and so if they cancel one I know i'm safe

 

[Riky]

Console looks like nice but I've already got two Series X so will wait for a redesign before getting another one. Hope they sell the pad separately though as that looks great.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Good shout ill keep them both.

 

[BusierDonkey]

I'm not sold on the design they chose for the console. I think a worn/used future UNSC aesthetic would have looked really great. The Forerunner Aesthetic has been done a couple times already.

I really like that Master Chief Elite controller though. My Elite S2 is closing in on 3000 hours of use and everything feels as good as new so I don't need it, but I still want it.

 

[Fess]

lol yeah this is some digital designs, the FH5 is one of the ugliest controllers I’ve seen, but the Halo controller is among the prettiest ones I’ve seen. And I’m a weak weak man. Preordered!

 

[ShirAhava]

My wallet is glad I really don't like the look of this

 

[Pantz]

Got one ordered so I can pass my XSX down to a relative. Not sure if I like the design though. Hope to see some better pics of it.

 

[jaysius]

The elite series 2 isn’t good is it? I’ve read all the nightmares about it.

It‘s stupid that this isn’t a elite 3.

Sony: We made the ugliest home console with the Ps5

This is my concern too.....WHy not makea series 3 with the improvements theyve made with the standard pad...Im quite concerned about laying down so much cash on that controller for it to break.

 

[Max_Po]

Yes it has a lot of quality issues,

my first one had faulty R1, Second one had faulty A
exchanged it for another which was almost perfect some sometimes A does not registers. Read that it might be an issue with mold/ shell manufacturing. I sold it just a few weeks ago.

People should keep their expectations in check, some can't even get a regular Series X.. and these will be extremely hard to get.

Save the shenkles for a series 3 it’ll be much better than this.

Nothing has topped The PS5 in ugliness and this new Xbox is smoking but thanks for your opinion

 

[SentientStone]

Xbox limited edition hardware always makes this PS fanboy jelly.

 

[bender]

Not a fan of either controller design or the console. I think the console would have been dope with just the black space/stars and the gold power button.

 

[reinking]

Halo controllers are typically awesome. I have the Halo 5 one and its simply beautiful:

I like that one much better than the Infinite one. Wish I had gotten one.

 

[kingwingin]

It's alright, would be cool if the stars twinkle.

Excited to see what they do for gears 6

 

[MrFunSocks]

The thing I love about the Series X design is that it’s so clean and non-“gamer” looking. This is the complete opposite of that. No thanks.

 

[Sleepwalker]

I love it but already have a normal XSX. Pains of being an early adopter for every console is I never get to have special editions lol oh well. hopefully sony will do some custom plates at some point.


The elite controller is not that great looking, wish it was in the same color scheme as the regular + console.


Still want rip

 

[Elginer]

I can’t even get a reg ass fucking series x

 

[The Lunch Legend]

Excited to see what they do for gears 6

I think the Starfield limited console will be even better.

 

[Putonahappyface]

That's very tasty! I envy Xbox gamers.

 

[Dr Bass]

Think it looks cool. Wonder how hard it will be to get.

 

[Hendrick's]

I’m torn between those and the Scuf Instinct pro.
