Getting bored of your bland white and black Xbox 360 controllers? Are you feeling the need for some color in your life? Well, today Microsoft revealed two Xbox 360 controller colors that should make you a happy camper. The brand new blue and pink wireless controllers will retail for $49.99 just like their older white and black cousins and will be available this October. Now remember fanboys, blue is for boys and pink is for girls.

I'm pretty sure that those are the most hideous controllers I have ever seen. WTF is Microsoft aiming at with these? They don't match a fucking thing anyone has in there game rooms unless they would buy them for there new born babies. How retarted are these marketing people? Make some cool colors you morons.

It isn't like Microsoft is the only one selecting crap colors for stuff. The DS comes to mind. Red would be very popular but no, they do pink, and special edition metallic pink.

The colors look too dull which is probably why they look so terrible. I understand why they are not gloss coated but it makes colors look aged and washed out when they are left dull.

these colors are kinda lame, how about the camo green one like the halo 360?
and am i the only one that thinks it took them way too long to release different color controllers?

I bought multi-colored controllers for my N64 back in the day so you could tell what slot your controller was plugged in to. (plugs matched the color of the controller) But with wireless controllers and LEDs showing what controller number you are on the 360, I'm sticking with all white.

Firstly, black > white.

Secondly, where the crap is the X button?

I agree..these are ass ugly and as gay as Richard Simmons playing Wii.

Geez guys, xbox is for all people and all ages. Remember the different coloured controllers for the N64? I think it is very welcome, but with these controllers will there be blue and pink play and charge packs?

Xbox 360 is WANTING to be for all ages, but with the delicate nature of the hardware and the hardcore upper aged fanbase, they need to release some more kick ass controllers. Let's see a real carbon fiber controller, or an aluminum encased one, with brushed metal detail. Y'know, something cool:)
These two pink and blue controllers remind me to brush my teeth three times a day.

Get off your high horses everyone... It's good to have a selection of colors / accessories.

when I was a kid, we all use to say stuff like "I call gold controller" for our n64. Each controller was a different colour and helped us determine the more broken sticks from the better working ones :p

Glad to see I can finally own 4 different 360 coloured controllers. Right now I own a white, and will get the green when i buy the halo 3 system. I really dont have plans to buy anymore as I never have 3+ people to play a game with locally, but if I did, I would buy a black and a blue, so I could easily distinguish the ctrollers from each other.

If they were trasparent like what the orignal xbox had then they would be kinda fine lol but they just look horrible.
