tbh it looks tasteless and ugly asf but i do like the buttons though
if i could just order those and leave the rest i'd be a happy man

 

[Cyberpunkd]

What do the Middle East and Russian editions look like?

C’mon, don’t be like this. Shouldn’t we applaud soulless capitalist construct attempts to weaponise emotions and social identity movements for profit?

 

[sertopico]

 

[Damigos]

That's the point.

Thats some meta thinking..

 

[Murdoch]

I may buy this for my youngest, I think he'll lap this design up

 

[dDoc]

No wonder XBox is in 3rd place.

Spoiler: Spoiler

Sorry green rats couldn't resist

 

[kiphalfton]

Looks gay. Mission accomplished.

This thread is bait and is going to go well.






Couldn't have done it better myself.

Bait for what? No one should be baited into anything.

 

[Hitchyhero]

Was thinking about getting it as I needed a new controller. It was £65 with the basic setup (no metallic extras or rubber grips). Then it added Vat and delivery at the final part. I'm not paying near £90 for a controller.

 

[March Climber]

I'm having Rainbow Road flashbacks.

 

[belmarduk]

Does the LGBTQ community actually buy stuff like this?

I would! Really love the retro design!

 

[The_Mike]

To be honest it has more adventure time vibe over it than a misused rainbow.

 

[Chittagong]

Wait, since when is Memphis style gay?

 

[DeepEnigma]

I don't want my controller to fall asleep after 30 seconds.

Imagine the input lag and stick drift on that shit.

 

[Majormaxxx]

To be honest it has more adventure time vibe over it than a misused rainbow.

Adventure time is heavily in support of the values of pride as well.

I personally think the controller is too subtle. Needs more flags.

They should learn from the graphic designer behind this:

 

[Metnut]

Looks awesome. Am I allowed to buy this if I’m straight or is that cultural appropriation? Better go check with ResetEra.

 

[Cyborg]

Great response Xbox

 

[LQX]

This is probably the first time one of these design lab controllers controls have made me do a double take. I guess because I made weird-ass painting like that in art class back in high school. I actually like the look off it and if I see it on sale I might grab it....like a big dick. Sorry, sorry GAF.

 

[Honey Bunny]

Why does it bother you so much?

Because these corps would throw these same people under the bus in countries where being gay isn't socially acceptable.

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

I love it. I would also buy the windbreaker jacket version.

 

[The Skull]

Any of the profits going towards any pride related charities? I'm guessing no.

 

[Goalus]

Can we get a 'Rainbow Brite'-themed controller?

 

[Kenpachii]

Actually looks good.

 

[SteadyEvo]

Great for those interested BUT, in order for humanity to achieve equality ALL these exclusive months must be abolished. Black, Native, Pacific Islander, Hispanic, Pride, etc. That way people are just people not separated and celebrating skin tone or preferences. At that point we will just see a fellow human being.

I am a designer. It is not Memphis style. It is more collage/stickers influence. Memphis style was about being playful and almost child like imagination. Still for an Xbox controller it is the better designed one, let's not forget all the garbage Xbox made recently.

I think most people here are unimpressed how big multibillion corporations lump into the LGBT movement just to make money out of it by not even trying harder in their designs other than to just throw rainbow colors on a controller.

This is Memphis style!

 

[anthraticus]

Damn... Every time I read Pride "thingie" I imagine that it is something related to Pride Fighting Championship.

Cool games:

Hell yea. That's the only Pride I wanna see.

Recently got into mma (was an old school boxing fan back in the day) and went through all the early (pre zuffa) UFC shows and almost all the PRIDE shows (coming to the end with like 5 to go) and having a blast doing it. Getting a bit sad I'm coming to the end, as I'm not a fan of Dana White at all and his UFC.

I saw them advertising for that PS2 game during some of the shows and I was thinking about checking it out (never played a mma game before) but wound up getting UFC Undisputed 3 for PS3 which supposedly is like the best mma game ever (developed by Yukes and not EA) and also has PRIDE mode with Bas and Quadros on the call !

The little bits I've heard actually sounded pretty good with Bas commenting about past fights between guys and how things went. Once I heard that, I was like...I gotta get this ! lol

I have nothing against it, ugly as hell though. Hurts my eyes. They could've made it simpler and aesthetically pleasing.

 

[TMLT]

I want one that represents my identity as a foot fetishist.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Cool that they did one, but why does it have to be so ugly?

 

[01011001]

Cool that they did one, but why does it have to be so ugly?

well the pride flag itself is fucking ugly these days for no good reason as the idiots that apparently decided how it's supposed to look these days completely missed the point of the original flag design.

a simple rainbow motive would look way better

 

[anthraticus]

Yea, I was gonna say...this flaunting of your sexual preferences is super fucking weird. You're not special and nobody gives a shit.

What's next.... the swingers controllers, or the S&M ones ??

 

[Shivvy24]

I actually dig the controller design, besides the pride stuff and the theme

 

[lughnasadh123]

I get why they do it for more inclusiveness and all but do they eventually want their flag to look like a 5 star general's chest?

Yea, I was gonna say...this flaunting of your sexual preferences is super fucking weird. You're not special and nobody gives a shit.

It's been a relatively short period of time when people of the LGBTQ community could come out with (less) fear of being socially shunned, beat up, or straight up killed. In some countries that shit still happens. It's a reminder of where they come from, and by reading the predictable comments on here, it's why it's going to be made a big deal for them in years to come.

 

[01011001]

I get why they do it for more inclusiveness

well, yes but that makes no sense, the rainbow was the symbol for everything. adding anything to that completely negates the original meaning. it's complete nonsense

 

[Rush2112]

who needs to make video games when you can slap some random paint on a controller.

 

[jezhumphrey75]

itd make a good buttplug

I'm having Rainbow Road flashbacks.
