November 15, 2001--that's the release date of the original Xbox. Next month will mark the 20th anniversary of the console's launch, and Microsoft has something to celebrate the occasion with. A new Xbox controller and headset have been announced, featuring a special black-and-green translucent design, which is a throwback to the look of the original Xbox Debug Kit. They'll both be releasing on November 15th, with both the headset and controller retailing on the Microsoft Store for $69.99.

Would've been cool if they did a new XSS/X design, with the original Xbox aesthetics instead.. The controller here is still nice looking though.

I was able to place an order for the controller before it was sold out. I must have been one of the last in line because it kept going out of stock when in my cart. Refreshed constantly for 5 minutes and got one. A worthy purchase for me since I only had one controller.

Huh, Well I'll be damned.

It's not straight from MS, but its MS licensed so its probably as good as its going to get. That's pretty neat!
It’s actually pretty neat - the Xbox logo was replaced with a small OLED that displays the original Xbox boot sequence. Very nifty collectible.

Only thing that would have made it even better, imo, is if the front bumpers were the same color green as the rear grips. Like this. Sorry I'm not a Photoshop pro and just did this in MS Paint in 5 minutes. :P

Edit: And colored letters on the YXBA buttons, but I'm not making a new image. lol

    @Sicklyboy, That sucks when the battery already begins to swell up. You considering on a desktop replacement, and if so, which one?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ damn 15 is shockingly cheap for that. Even 30 feels like a good price just given what a bunch of other FiiO stuff costs. Granted, not familiar with what those were originally selling for, so who knows lol

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As far as a replacement for my BTR5, I don't really have my eyes set on anything specific yet but it'll likely be from either Fiio or Schiit Audio.

    Better than tree fiddy
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, Originally when it came out, they sold for around $40 USD according to FiiO's news bulletin. https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/54677.html

    @Sicklyboy, I would prefer FiiO as the better brand for a USB DAC.

    I feel like headphones reached a peak even ones from ten years ago sound better than new ones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, all depends how much money you wanna spend. I had skullcandy headphones and shit way back when but I never liked anything as much as the headphones (and earbuds) I use nowadays

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ yeah fwiw I've been quite happy with my FiiO BTR5 so I don't have any specific reason to not a FiiO again. Just gotta see what's available and how much I'm trying to spend lol

    O GOD I see @BigOnYa
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    I have the FiiO X1-ii, and love what it does, but the battery life is kinda ass and the sluggish, unresponsive menu makes me regret my purchase a little.
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    has anyone here played botw randomizer for switch?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    (not the wii u version, specifically the switch version)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Frankly not. That's like a 'cheat engine' for BoTW, right?

    good morrow
