Uhh... this controller is already sold out on Microsoft's site:

I feel like this thing is going to be super hard to find.


Still available at Best Buy. If you want one, I'd suggest ordering it sooner rather than later.

It's sold out everywhere in Australia, maybe not EB Games but that's in store only. The fuck.

I am not surprised. Folks have been gushing about it over social media and I had a feeling this is gonna become a hot collectors item.

 

[acm2000]

My wife just broke her controller, so I'm gonna order this for her.

Yes, for "her"

 

[Riky]

It's here

Is the Xbox headset good?

 

[Helghan]

Is the Xbox headset good?

Yes. I have it, and I have no complaints. Obviously there are headsets with even better sound, but those are way more expensive. The value you get for the price is great.

 

[Astray]

Ngl that controller is so, so, so fucking good looking. Especially the translucent triggers.

I'm probably picking it up as soon as I can.

Xbox's controller color ways and options just bring shame to Sony's, especially this gen.

 

[mrmustard]

I usualIy don't buy extra controllers, but it's so sexy i had to buy it.

 

[poodaddy]

Dude I fuckin really want this controller, but I don't wanna spend that right now.....I wish I had something to sell that was worth right at a hundred bucks.

 

[Dolomite]

Controller is included in the constellation edition no?

And placed.


Thank you MS Rewards for the free controller and game.

how do ms rewards work

how do ms rewards work

you use Bing, buy games on xbox, or use the Xbox rewards app to do "quests"

this rewards you points.
5000 points get you roughly 5€/$ in Windows/Xbox Store credit

you can easily farm about 200 points a day if you want to, takes maybe 3min.

how do ms rewards work

This is the best place to start:

|OT| - Microsoft Rewards |OT| Get Game Pass for free

Yep. Anyone can invest a few minutes each day into building up Microsoft Rewards points and redeem those points for Microsoft Rewards. Those diligent enough will never have to pay a dime. This will show you how. Disclaimer: No, I have no affiliation with Microsoft whatsoever and I do not...

Tl;DR

- You do daily activities and small tasks that take from 5, 8 minutes.
- You earn points for doing those which you can use to redeem MS / Xbox gift cards, Amazon cards etc.
- Don't expect to get enough points to redeem 100 dolalrs worth of codes in a month or so, but ideally you will get enough to pay off your monthly game pass ultimate and have a spare $10, 15 to spend or stockpile.

you can easily farm about 200 points a day if you want to, takes maybe 3min.

Doing the web things and Xbox / Game Pass daily tasks, you should be able to get between 700 and 800 daily, more if you do the weekly/monthly ones.

yeah but if you go the lazy route and only do the Bing stuf it's more like 200, and the bing stuff is something you can do on your phone while taking a shit

Well that blows...I mean I'll probably still get it for collector's value but at $250 it should come with the controller or headset

 

[PlayedStation]

Very nice. I can wait until September since I barely use my Series X enough right now to justify a purchase. I want both the controller and headset.

You’re paying for that smartwatch basically.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Looks nice, too bad the controllers have been shit since the xbox one. The 360 controllers were sturdy, the new ones breakdown so easily.

Mine have held up pretty well. No issues with my standard Xbox One (gen 3?) controllers. I had the bumper issue with my Elite S2, which required me to take it apart and fix it.

Meanwhile I had two 360 controllers that drifted after a while.

 

[cireza]

My controller is on the way. It will look great next to my 20th anniversary controller. I will be able to swap every day lol.

 

[adamsapple]

It's here

Did you get it in store or from xbox.com ?

Maybe I'm unlucky, but every new gen xbox controller I have either drifts (modern controllers in general) or the usb port breaks. Why the fuck is it still micro usb?

I just wish they worked better for me. I really like the ergonomics of xbox controllers.

[Mr Reasonable]

Gotta tell you, I'm tempted to pick one up, despite the fact that I only ever use an Elite Controller.

Managed to talk myself out of it as I still have a sealed Master Chief Elite on the shelf.

Damn, they delivered real fast!

My order still has the date for tomorrow but the status still says "Pending", which is making me a bit worried about it actually delivering by tomorrow.

 

[reinking]

I ordered both. I got confirmation of shipping for the controller but not the headset. I hope they both arrive today.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Headset looks very good and comfortable. I wonder if it works with PS5. Thinking about trading the 3D pulse for this one.

 

[Hambone]

Gotta tell you, I'm tempted to pick one up, despite the fact that I only ever use an Elite Controller.

My first thought too, as I use a Elite 2 for my Series X, however, my Elite 1 that I have been using with my PC, is on it's last leg, so I ordered the Starfield controller as a suitable replacement. .

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

Have you guys ever bought a white controller and seen discoloring? I am strongly interested in buying his guy. It's beautiful.

 

[Pallas]

Looks like Amazon has the controller available here in the US.

[hououinkyouma00]

Got mine today, and I actually don't like it as much as I thought I would.

Also hilariously I saw that somebody got theirs but the triggers weren't transparent lol

It’s so cool when these special controllers unlock limited edition backgrounds:

Damn, nice.

I was hoping to keep it in the packaging for a while but this is incentive to unpack it lol.

 

[SegaManAU]

My controller just arrived, headset coming tomorrow! Loving the look.

I skipped the constellation edition though....didn't really interest me. Not paying $500 for that lol

 

[VulcanRaven]

Apparently not all controller have transparent triggers. Don't know if its regional thing.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I love the little features like this. That’s a cool touch. It’s just a shame the themes don’t have atmospheric music like PS themes have.

I have two robot white Xbox One controllers and they haven’t discolored after multiple years of use. Xbox controllers are extremely well made.

 

[adamsapple]

The Starfield controller is #6 top seller in videogames in Amazon US right now.

 

[HTK]

MS always delivering on special edition controllers.
