new information that we have been able to obtain indicates an increase, this time, in the public price of Xbox controllers. Indeed, it is thanks to Gyo Jvfr on Twitter, working on the distribution part of the industry, which received the information from its suppliers.

As the table shows, 9 controller models are affected:

-
ShockBlue
Pulse Red
Electric Volt
Deep Pink
Velocity Green
Lunar-Shift
Mineral Camo
Stellar Shift
It is therefore the colors of the Xbox wireless controller that see their price increase by €5, going from €59.99 to €64.99. As for the special editions, these undergo an equivalent increase, going from 64.99 to 69.99€. This price increase would take place from July 1st.
This also explains why the Starfield controller is sold at 90 euros in Europe

$10 extra? My 4090 (suprim x) cost me $2350. Regular no scalping price. How much extra is that? Actually I don’t want to know…

Ive spent so much on controllers already.......and i know they have a special edition coming soon that i must have.

 

[Murdoch]

Charge what they want as long as they fix them when they're having problems. 3 months warranty on this product should be illegal.

They definitely need that $5. Dat warchest is depleting.

This is the seller
He even explained the Starfield controllers issues that xbox sent them too soon because they planned a shadow drop on the 11th june

Blibi stated that some stores are making their prices. The original is less than that.

The price increase isn't about the starfield controller
But if it's 75 in the US I think it will be close to 90 in eu

[Updated] Xbox Starfield Controller Price Might Upset Some Fans

The limited edition Xbox Starfield controller appears to be the real deal, but its price tag might very well upset fans.

wccftech.com

The distribution for that store is increasing the price. These type of practices is common for some stores in hopes of making profits.

 

[Gorgon]

They could at least make the controllers feel and look less plasticky. I was pretty dissapointed with the Xbox controllers compared to Sony controllers. That would make swallowing the price increase a bit easier.

 

[xrnzaaas]

They aren't that expensive at the moment when you compare them to Dualsense or even Dualshock prices. But maybe I should look at this from a different perspective and say that Sony is charging too much money.

has to get in 69 billion somehow when Gamepass is crashing.

I love how people are out of touch man.

 

[Astray]

This is bordering on too expensive when the Series controller added basically nothing in terms of new tech and actually lags in those terms to even the PS4 controller, nevermind the dual sense.

The two stories aren't related. And their source is different. Read this

"Xbox wireless controller that see their price increase by €5, going from €59.99 to €64.99. As for the special editions, these undergo an equivalent increase, going from 64.99 to 69.99€."

It has nothing to do with the starfield controller and its 75€ to 90€ price tag.

It has to do with everything, as that price come from b2b distributor.
Until we hear official words from actual retail companies, this price will be from b2b distributor, just like starfield.

 

[Black_Stride]

I wonder what the next shift controller will be.
Im betting on Solar Shift....Orange/Red color shift.
My poor wallet.....if I wasnt "saving" on Gamepass these fuckers would hearing from my keyboard.

Lunar:

Aqua:

Stellar:

What are you talking about? The 90€ Starfield price came from b2b distributors. The price hikes discussed here have nothing to do with the starfield controller and the prices are different.

I would take that as a grain of salt, just like that starfield price.

Until the price is confirmed by the major companies, its a grain of salt.

This is some losing streak from Xbox. Crazy.

They are making a killing off these controllers......pretty much every special edition sells out, i doubt this price hike will change that.

yeah - losing streak. Price increases on games and controllers, Redfall, acting like bitches on ABK, resuming operations in Russia, paid shills being uncovered on GAF. There’s so much that I know I’m forgetting stuff.

Gamepass is next..

That Starfield controller is nice.

I'm still looking forward to when it gains wider public recognition and all the fuckwits start posting on Twitter about how it's woke / pride / will make your children gay, etc

I don’t buy custom controllers, but that looks like it has a controls cheat sheet on it for the game. That’s a cool feature for a custom IMO.

 

[Ansphn]

So a last gen controller with nothing new except a share button is getting a price raise? I can get a Duelshock 4 brand new any color right now for $25.99.

Yep, and if it *is* the actual flight controls, looks like it's gonna be a bit more complicated than a simple Arcadey, Ace Combat, style controls.
