Orange LIVE at 5IVE controller makes us jealous

In celebration of the ongoing LIVE a 5IVE birthday fun, Microsoft sent out a limited number of presents to select members of the media. The present is a box containing orange paper fluff, an Xbox Live information sheet and a sparkly orange LIVE at 5IVE branded wireless controller of sleek and sexiness. Suh-weet! Just look at the way the light shimmers off its orange casing and how the metallic flakes glisten in the fluorescent rays. She's beautiful. And we're sure our orange controller got held up thanks to the unreliable mail service, because Microsoft wouldn't have forgotten to send a controller to everyone's favorite Xbox 360 community fansite ... would they?

They should sell that in stores. I'd pick one up to go along with my white and black ones.

Wow. Pretty nifty. I wonder if they have anything special in store for those of us who have had accounts since the day Live went...well...Live!

They should consider sending those puppies to those of us who were original beta testers for Xbox Live.

Wow they give away a nice orange one and sell those terrible flat ugly blue and pink.

One step forward...two steps back...

i love how everything they give away is awesome... but the retail controllers are mundane at best.

lharmon said...

cool. I'm going to have to agree with the Dustin on this one... I would say this is my favorite 360 site... I enjoy it even more than xbox.com.

That woman has the sexiest hands I've ever seen. I sense a fetish developing.

Oh yeah, the controller is snazzy, too.

Knuckles please give your controller to Dustin, thanks

The controller is teh sexy and all, but MS got cheap, not making the buttons or the back orange like it is on the black, blue, and pink controllers. Looks like they just took off the front face off a white one and painted it. I wonder if the battery cover is also orange?

M$ got cheap by giving away official 360 controllers? It's a pretty valuable gift imo

11-15-2007 @ 2:34PM

Knuckles Dawson said...

TORO, No. ^_^

11-15-2007 @ 2:37PM

TORO said...

Oh well, I tried Dustin...Knuckles has spoken.

@14

I dig the two tone.

For all of us that want one, isn't there a company out there that you can order custom painted Xbox 360 controllers from? I know there is I just can't recall the name at the moment. The use automotive quality paint and everything.

wtfmate? said...

Oh man, this would match my custom faceplate perfectly! I would probably buy one in an instant if they made them available to consumers!
