Microsoft rolled out the Chrome Series special edition Xbox 360 controllers. As the name suggests, these controllers have a chrome finish. The top-side has a metallic/chrome surface, in three color options: red, blue, and silver, while the D-pad has a silver chrome finish on all three variants. Slated for mid-May, these controllers are each priced at US $54.99, availability may be limited, and specific to select markets.

Why cant they make a regular black pad with that twist change d-pad?

The first one was a less offensive colour, but had those stupid grey abxy buttons that would screw me over whenever one of these stupid quick time event's happens.
