Pink and Blue controllers available for purchase

by Dustin Burg { Oct 2nd 2007 at 2:00PM }

Love 'em or hate 'em, two brand new Xbox 360 wireless controllers are available at retail starting today allowing gamers to express themselves in two brand new colors. The new (dark) Blue and Pink controllers retail for the standard $49.99 wireless controller price and also make the perfect "It's a Boy" or "It's a Girl" baby shower gift. Because nothing says congratulations on having a new kid than an Xbox 360 controller themed after a centuries old color coded stereotype.

Wow, those are ugly. I'll stick with my white one, thank you very much!

By the time the kid is old enough to play M rated games, the Xbox 1080 will be out.

Grant @ Oct 2nd 2007 2:10PM

oh boy!
Pastels FTW!

but on a serious note... they should have sold that army green halo controller bundled with the halo 3 360 seperate, instead of those ugly ass graphic ones... or these.

girls might like them, if you purchase this then Milwaukee's Best will fall on you. "Men Should Act Like Men"

No p-p-p-p-purple? :(
I want it to match my Spartan in Halo 3!

Gemini Ace @ Oct 2nd 2007 2:16PM

I want a blue one, but I need to see it in the flesh (or plastic) before I buy.

Pink and Blue controllers? There is like what 1 xbox 360 game geared towards young kids? I'd really like to see some games that are fun for the family or at least fun for the wife to play. No wonder so many xbox also buy a Wii.

Should say...
No wonder so many xbox owners also buy a Wii.

Hmmm does anyone else think Microsoft should donate some bucks from each pink controller sold to fighting breast cancer?

I do!

aerocb @ Oct 2nd 2007 2:38PM

I vote for a separately-sold army green model to match the controller included with the Halo 3 edition console.

i just threw up in my mouth a little

@ TORO - "Men Should Act Like Men"

+1

@ Xeno - Yea...so did I.

I like my black and white. I've been using my black one exclusively for Halo 3.

As for the other 2 that commented on the Halo green one...I would SO buy that one too if it came seperate... :D

the blue's a lot lighter in person as well.

TeDro @ Oct 2nd 2007 3:57PM

lol @ bloggers comment. Definately a little shady..I think I'll stay far away. I agree with purple and maybe even a psychedelic pattern (or dark blue/green/clear/anything else). I can imagine what everyone in the microsoft board room was thinking: This will cater to our toddlers/girls and their moms and dads are more likely to buy the cute pink one for samantha and the baby blue for bobby. Well, it's a stupid idea, but if I went to a little kids house and they had a 360, I wouldn't doubt I would see one of these controllers. As for me, I'll go for something a little less fruity.

h0mi @ Oct 2nd 2007 4:20PM

Spartan Green FTW. I'd buy one for sure. I'd get a blue to complete my collection and a pink one if I buy a 2nd xbox for my sister's house.

tom @ Oct 2nd 2007 4:32PM

Funny. Everybody's complaining about this? My fiance ordered me to buy her a pink controller. If you're buying a pink controller for your girl, you're a happy man.

sp00ks102 @ Oct 2nd 2007 4:42PM

dear god, I've been looking all over to find a green one (at the moment I only have one controller, the one that came with the halo 3 console) ebay has 1...going for $110 the last time I looked, frikkin eh

Etchasketchist @ Oct 2nd 2007 4:49PM

Since when did color = gay? Are you dorks so hetero-insecure that you can't appreciate a pink game controller? Video games are gay anyway. Video game blogs are uber-gay. Commenting on video game blogs makes you a pre-op transsexual as far as I'm concerned. You're all supposed to be growing up and driving cars and buying real estate. Instead you're debating which joystick thing is less homo. How unmanly is that? Your dads should beat you all up.

elmersglue @ Oct 2nd 2007 5:08PM

so what you're saying is that...you're gay, uber-gay, AND a pre-op transsexual? damn...

Mauricio @ Oct 2nd 2007 5:40PM

dude, you guys just got yelled at by the etchasketchist guy and it looks like you deserved it too.

Etchasketchist @ Oct 2nd 2007 5:44PM

Damn it elmers! You jammed my irony guns! I don't have a witty retort. I'm gay. Does that freak you out?

Mauricio @ Oct 2nd 2007 5:46PM

good thing fontez didnt chime in cuz i think Etchasketchist would have said an F-Bomb or seven.

tcc3 @ Oct 2nd 2007 5:57PM

Its not centuries old. Blue=boy, pink=girl is a 20th century concept.

Mauricio @ Oct 2nd 2007 6:04PM

Yeah, and its the 21st century. They're just colors.

Grant @ Oct 2nd 2007 7:17PM

"You're all supposed to be growing up and driving cars and buying real estate. Instead you're debating which joystick thing is less homo."

Grown up? Check!
Drive/Own a car? Check!
Own real estate even though the market is shitty no one should be buying real estate currently? Check!

i'll go back to commenting how ugly those colors are now. thanks.

dz_nutz @ Oct 2nd 2007 10:43PM

Well apparently Japan gets the baby blue one while we get the more 'manly' blue one due to the Xbox team not thinking it would sell well in the US. Well, sorry to have a favorite color or anything but 'to each his own' and i would take the baby blue Jap controller over the olive green one any day.

p.s. i hate olives.

p.s.s. the etchasketchist is gay? wtf?
