Wireless & Quick Charge Kit
In case you missed it, Xbox 360 has teamed up with GameStop to design an exclusive limited edition Wireless Controller that will be available next week.  Bundled with a Play & Charge Kit, the controller features a new design which sports black carbon fiber with red accents.  This controller will be sold exclusively at GameStop, EB Games and Micromania retailers in the U.S., Canada, France, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand.

The suggested retail price will be US $69.99, and you can place your pre-order here. I’ve uploaded some high resolution photos of the bundle if you want a closer look.

I like it just because it is different and those are my two favorite colors. My kids and I have every color controller they have made except Pink. You would think that with 3 girls I would have a pink one, but if I bought one of them a pink controller, I would be in trouble.

To me, it looks like it should be called the "Van Halen Edition".  Doesn't that look like Eddie Van Halen's axe?  That or a nuclear hazard symbol.  Either.

Don't think I'd pay extra for it.  I don't tend to look down at the controller much during game play.
I would if playboy came out with one... but then, I'm afraid my gamer score would get even worse than it already is.

I like it, but for that price, it should cook dinner for you too

My vote is for eye-sore. I think it would have been better with just the faux carbon fiber print.

The price bump is due entirely to the inclusion of a play & charge kit versus just the standard hollow battery shell.

Kinda fugly design-wise. I rarely look at the controller when playing so I don't think I'd get much out of having a design on it. I picked up the differently (solid) colored controllers just to make it easier to see which is which.

I thought it looked like an Eddie VanHalen tribute too Kicky  It would probably go well with some decors but not my gaming area too well.

Not a fan of the pink but this pretty tasteful, it would look pretty cool green accents...

After 2 weeks I'd have forgotten the differences. The red directional pad makes it look cheap.
