A $150 game controller is crazy, no one is going to buy one of those! Right?
Wrong.
It turns out that Microsoft underestimated the demand for the Xbox One Elite Controller, which it started selling at retailers today. In reality, few people who didn’t preorder have actually had any luck picking up one of these high-quality gamepads. People on social media are reporting that stores are sold out, and you have almost no hope of getting one online. Obviously, it is selling very well — although Microsoft isn’t providing any specific numbers.
But Microsoft claims that it should have plenty before the gift-giving holidays like Christmas.
“We’re thrilled at the amount of interest we’ve received for the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller,” a Microsoft spokesperson told GamesBeat. “We are working quickly to get more units of the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller in the hands of fans, and look forward to replenishing inventory in time for the holidays.”
If you can’t wait, however, you can still get one — and it’s a pretty decent deal as long as you don’t already own an Xbox One.
“If you’re looking for an Xbox One console as well, another great option for fans is the [$500] Xbox One Elite Bundle, which comes with an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller and a 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive,” the spokesperson said. “[It is] available starting Tuesday, November 3 at Microsoft Stores and GameStop.”
It’s not too surprising that it’s selling out because it is excellent, and you can read all about it in our review. I asked Microsoft if the response is an affirmation that it is on the right track.
“We are always looking for ways to bring the best experiences to all of our fans on Xbox,” said the spokesperson. “And the excitement and interest from gamers for the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller has been overwhelming.”
If you are just now coming to the decision that you want to buy one, you’re going to find that it really is sold out. That includes all of the following online stores:
- Best Buy
- Microsoft Store
- Amazon
- Walmart
- Target
- GameStop
For anyone who did get an Elite order into the Microsoft Store on that last day before it sold out completely, they were notified that the gamepad won’t ship until mid-November. That jives with Microsoft’s “in time for the holidays” statement, since it’ll likely want to get as many Elites back in stores by the big Black Friday sales.
Finally, I would advise you make some calls before venturing out to find an Elite in the wild. I called a few local GameStops, and I had two different associates tell me the same thing: every store only got enough Elites to fulfill preorders. If one store had 30 preorders, it got 30 Elites, and if another only had 1, then it only got one.
Back in 2012, we featured the work Kory Hubbell—a concept artist at 343—did for Halo 4. With Halo 5 now out, we’re circling around and checking out his contributions to the latest game in the series.
You can see more of Kory’s art at his personal site and ArtStation page.

broke down and put a preorder on this "deal"...might sell it if there truly is a low supply and high demand for it during the holiday season if I feel it's not worth keeping

Anybody buck with Scuf Xbox One controllers? It's customizable just like the Elite. Might be a consolation prize to those who wanted an Elite controller before the end of the year.
I've used one before. They are CRAZY customizable. A bit heavier than a regular controller but you get used to it. My boy had one he used for fps games. The right stick was longer than the other so it sat a bit higher. That made it easier to aim. You'd barely move it and the reticule would move very quickly to the area you aimed. So if i overshot my target there were times i could recover and still get the kill. He also had the triggers tuned down. The start positron was already compressed like halfway. So as soon as you went to pull the RT you didn't have to do much to make it fire.
Now this was pretty cool but at the time i couldn't afford this shit. So i made my own custom controller. I bought some little adapters that fit over the sticks and extended them higher from kontrolfreeks. Those things were like $12 and they fit both ps3 and xbox sticks. Bought them here:
http://www.kontrolfreek.com/ldr/increase-your-accuracy
Then for the RT issue, i just taped a popsicle stick to the RT that i had cut in half. When you put your finger on the popsicle stick at the bottom of it when you pull it you barely tap it and the gun would fire. Cut down on my reaction time in a major way.
Using that i jumped my KD ratio in modern warfare 2 by .25 points and on MW3 never dipped below 1.35 KD.

shit them shots cost almost 2x as much as the elite controller
honestly I think MS created a false demand for them I honestly expect to see more in stores probably by the 15th/16th of this month...whether they'll fly off the shelves or not tho is why I took a chance on getting the one w/ the charger early
