Gamestop stores have em now seen a few in my local GSTOP this morning.

It took everything in me not to cop one would've been a waste of money because I don't play my xbox enough to warrant a purchase.

I bought it for use on the Xbox and PC. I'll probably sell my Spartan Locke controller when it comes.

Ended up getting the controller in the mail. It's the definitive Xbox controller. I'll likely never go back to using those old plastic feeling ones again. Took my Spartan controller back and swapped it for the Cronusmax.It's a bit disorientating using an Xbox controller on Playstation.

The controller has a heft to it that just feels right. The front of it is a softer texture than the regular plastic. The back rubber grips are wonderful and the paddles are surprisingly good I took two of them off and left the other two. This should be the normal Xbox One controller and the other one shouldn't have even existed. I wish Sony would do a premium controller like this too.

If you don't wanna pay the full $150 sell your old controller and buy this one. It's a must have for Xbox One owners or even PC players.

How exactly is it a must have? I see the benefits in it, but not the absolute necessity. I almost grabbed an elite bundle so I can DUMP the controller afterwards.

I could possibly see it as something people without the kinect can take advantage of when it comes to navigating through all the menus, but I don't fall into that category.

If you use this controller you won't want to use the original one anymore. You can look in this thread when I didn't own one I spoke more like you. Owning the controller and using it has left me with the opinion that I never want to use the original Xbox One controller again. That's why I took my Locke controller back and got a Cronusmax because I knew I'd never use it again. I still have an unused white controller and a black one but I probably won't dump those because If I ever sell those Xbox One systems they will need controllers and I won't sell this Elite.

Guess the customization is selling because I cannot for the life of me think of why this controller is so expensive when the performance is pretty much the same as far as I know.. :francis:

in FPS games you can program a paddle to the run instead of pushing in an analog stick. you can program different paddles to the face buttons and never have to take your thumbs off the sticks.
