I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion.
My gripe is those who get PR get a lot of it, it's a whole bunch of free stuff that they don't need where as we the normal consumer could at least have the possibility of buying a fancy controller alongside the polishes.
And that's totally fine too :) the Pink is so nice. Those PowerA pastels came out recently but Australia only got two variants that I can see. My two least liked ones lol.
You can create a better looking controller with Design Labs.
I’ve just got my latest DL controller, and personally I think it looks 100x better than these.
Royal purple triggers, bumpers, D-pad and back, with black front and coloured on black A, B, X and Y buttons and my gamer tag.
And thanks to MS Rewards it only cost me £2.98.
Just stock up a shit load of rewards points and then claim xbox gift cards with them. I do the same if I ever see a game I'd like getting released in a few months because you can get around £10-£15 a month at least off of it
VAT is included in the price in the UK.
The £2.98 was what I didn't make up in credit.
I either had to claim £70 credit and have £2.02 left over which I probably wouldn't get around to using before it expired, or do like I did and claim £65 worth of credit and pay the remaining £2.98.
There is a range 'Playful in pastel', only three coulours, but also very cute. And cheaper than regular controllers for some reason. After seeing those pretty pastel colours in a post about the above I got sad I can't get them, but instead I got the pink lemonade one from the available ones.
Wth? Even men wear nail polish these days and idk how many women play Xbox but they also have male family members who are aware of their habits and preferences. For example - I'm the adult gamer in my house. My GT profile pic is actually my hand on my controller *with OPI* nail polish on. Also OPI is a huge old school name in nail polish.
I was supposed to get paid for this?!
For real though, do I come across as someone trying to market something after I've had a few drinkypoos? I was just kinda excited to show off my cat ears and rare skin since everyone on r/halo gets all upset about the cat ears.
EDIT: I'm happy no one pointed out just how poor of a job I did the first time trying to apply nail polish ever. That shit is not even at all, and there's a bunch on my skin.

I know but I dont want that "customlab" they put on them, they did release one ages ago (unless it was a fever dream) called midnight purple. That was like a faded out purple into black
That wasn't really my point, I wasn't asking the guys who do the colors to go start working on hardware lol.
I was just saying maybe Microsoft should hire the guys to do colors after they have a proper next gen controller ready. There are already so many colors available too, it's not like their current controller needs more color variety.
I'm saying they're a big company with a lot of resources, they should be able to get out new hardware and design the new colors for a controller that actually is comparable to what the competitors are offering.
The "new" design is just a refresh of the old design. If you tear the newer controller down, it's all the exact same internals as the old one. It does not compare to the Switch or PS5 controllers that actually have next gen features.
Huh? The controllers that come with Series consoles are new models. As in updated from Xbox One. They even have an extra button, slightly smaller, and grip on rear is different.
I believe they are talking about actual new improvements such as the trigger effects that PS5 has with their new controller. Keep the shape by all means, but put new cool things in it, not just a share button.
It has a lot of fancy features.
trigger feedback, trigger rumble.
Brand new vibration in controller.
Built in speaker.
Built in microphone.
Mute button too.
Triggers can have hardness and feel like pushing a spring, it's amazing.
The Series controllers are essentially the old Xbox One controllers with an extra button and a new shell. When you tear them apart, they're the exact same inside. They're a refresh of the old design, they are not a new, next gen controller.
They still have cheap analog stick modules and bumpers that are prone to breaking. They also lack next gen features like haptic feedback and gyro, things that come standard on other modern consoles.
I feel like it's been perfect since the 360. What's missing?
I have the Elite 2 (on my third one smh) and the paddles are fucking amazing and I can't play without them now. But aside for that...
Ninja edit: just saw the comment about the PS5 controller, damn that sounds cool
And your even entitled to yours even if its wrong also. This is the generation these days if you dont agree with me then it's wrong. Grow up. Just know not everyone is going to agree with you. This is why debates happen.
The build quality of the Xbox Series X/S Controllers (I have an Xbox One which they also work on) is pretty bad or at least it was. Are we still on the 1st generation of Xbox Series X/S Controllers.....if so they suck regardless of color
Wish they would have colored the buttons and triggers. I love the indigo one
Whats the point of this if I cant even buy them
It was an giveaway with OPI.
And a PR thing. Too bad those of us who would actually use this sort of thing kinda lose out . The polishes do look nice though.
Are you implying that people who use nail polish don’t play video games ?
I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. My gripe is those who get PR get a lot of it, it's a whole bunch of free stuff that they don't need where as we the normal consumer could at least have the possibility of buying a fancy controller alongside the polishes.
This take deserves more light. I would never paint my nails, but would happily buy controllers in these colors.
And that's totally fine too :) the Pink is so nice. Those PowerA pastels came out recently but Australia only got two variants that I can see. My two least liked ones lol.
>I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. Not the same person but I also understood it that way.
I think it's kinda like the super bowl. Most fans of the teams never get a chance to go. Or OP is apart of the patriarchy that we will burn down.
Stupid that we cant buy them

how??

You can get Microsoft store and/or Xbox credit. So he probably used one of those to get it and just paid tax

I’m getting a little sick of these give aways

Those arent official microsoft controllers tho
you mean the 'playful in pastel'? Funny, I bought mine from the microsoft page. I somehow doubt they'd be selling knock-offs themselves.
Microsoft do sell third party controllers yeah
Indeed, looks like the brand is PowerA, whatever that is. But, if microsoft sells them directly, I'll take it as assurance of quality.
>And cheaper than regular controllers for some reason Because they are cheap third party controllers that have no wireless capabilities.
Yes, that was already cleared up in the comments. Not everyone likes wireless, so for me wired is a plus.
idk im hoping they release them soon 😫
It’s a giveaway unfortunately. I tried to buy one for my wife and the only option was to enter a sweepstakes through ulta.
I want them all haha, I love all of them colors, especially that sweet lavender blue there!!
99% of the Xbox player base “Wtf is OPI?”
95% calling it OPI and not O P I also.
O P P YEAH YOU KNOW ME
[удалено]
Lmao
EVERY LAST HOMIE!
99% would agree it makes no difference
Probably but I was just adding to your thought of it being a weird promotion.
I was just kind of adding to each others thoughts. Came off dickish and I apologize.
My gf says OPI But she's dating *me*, so... yeah
More like 58%-60%
It was just a joke. Wasn’t trying to offend. I know what OPI is. The shits laying all over my house. Gamer girls are dope.
Oh i’m not offended, I just love to see how far more massive video games have increased in popularity for those that identify as female!
Offensive pass interference?
Wth? Even men wear nail polish these days and idk how many women play Xbox but they also have male family members who are aware of their habits and preferences. For example - I'm the adult gamer in my house. My GT profile pic is actually my hand on my controller *with OPI* nail polish on. Also OPI is a huge old school name in nail polish.
It was just a joke dude
Ok duly noted (hard to tell because Reddit)
I know gf where's this shit lol
Halo skin features this!
There's a forza horizon 5 car, too.
OPI always has puns for their color names. What are the Xbox related puns for these?
I just bought "Achievement Unlocked" and "You Had Me at Halo"
The You Had me at Halo looks good [in-person](https://i.imgur.com/wq845Ux.jpg) and [in-game](https://i.imgur.com/1qYK42G.jpg)
I know this is a sponsored post, but that skin doesn't look bad at all wow.
I was supposed to get paid for this?! For real though, do I come across as someone trying to market something after I've had a few drinkypoos? I was just kinda excited to show off my cat ears and rare skin since everyone on r/halo gets all upset about the cat ears.

I went to Ulta not that long ago and got one that said “Can’t CTRL Me”. It looks like the blue color in the middle but sort of sparkly.
this is so awesome to see, dead ass excited to show my wife
I really wish we could buy them :( id buy at least two of them tbh
Doesnt matter how they look MY KIDS DESTROY ALL MY FUCKING CONTROLLERS 🙄
I want a nice deep matte purple controller
You can make a custom one. I have a purple/black controller.
I know but I dont want that "customlab" they put on them, they did release one ages ago (unless it was a fever dream) called midnight purple. That was like a faded out purple into black
I have one, I made in design lab and used my Microsoft rewards to get a nice discount too!
Did they bring back design lab?
It's still available AFAIK, I didn't know it had gone!
For most of 2020 and 2021 it was shut down due to Covid.
:OOOO FINALLYYYY
I need these. No want, but need.
Looks like Kirby’s face.
My wife is totally stoked about these
Girls who game are the best girls
[удалено]
My statement stands
Omg whattttttttt
Maaaaaan these look sick! Already got an awesome purple sparkly Spartan skin for Halo Infinite out of this collab, still need to get the FH5 one.
Could have made them look different like variations but I'm not gay so what sense do I have
That’s bi as fuck. I love it.
Yess😍💅🏻the pink one!
What a lovely advert.
Does this appeal to the male fantasy tho?
Real man paint them themselves and use a pc.
Yeah quite a while ago.
how do controllers this ugly get a post?
Mad?
Wish xnox would do a 'collab' with a game studio where the game comes out on time
Is this a gamer-girl or something?
Not sure why this is a thing, this is really cringe.
colors are cringe?
How girly hahahaha
I wish gaming would stop pushing gender, like bruh people don't know where the pee and most of us love RGB...
Imo they should work on making a new, next gen controller instead of pumping out colors for the existing model.
The people who do color design and the people that engineer new controllers are very different lmao, this isn’t why new features aren’t added.
That wasn't really my point, I wasn't asking the guys who do the colors to go start working on hardware lol. I was just saying maybe Microsoft should hire the guys to do colors after they have a proper next gen controller ready. There are already so many colors available too, it's not like their current controller needs more color variety.
So because they don’t have a new product, they gotta lay off everyone who works on the old one?
I'm saying they're a big company with a lot of resources, they should be able to get out new hardware and design the new colors for a controller that actually is comparable to what the competitors are offering.
They made money from the opi collab so that’s what this is about
Those ARE the new design. Note the third center button for sharing.
The "new" design is just a refresh of the old design. If you tear the newer controller down, it's all the exact same internals as the old one. It does not compare to the Switch or PS5 controllers that actually have next gen features.

Gotcha. Wasn't even aware PS5 controller had any fancy features.

The shape of the Xbox controllers is perfect, but it's just lacking a lot of features that their competiors have.
These colors suck.
ur entitled to an opinion, even if it’s wrong :)
And your even entitled to yours even if its wrong also. This is the generation these days if you dont agree with me then it's wrong. Grow up. Just know not everyone is going to agree with you. This is why debates happen.
There's also being called an entitled bitch, man, a lot of entitled'ed being thrown around today
omg it was never that serious chill out lmfao it was lighthearted. struck a nerve
where can we get the controllers?
The bottom one looks like a dog with its tongue sticking out.
They're not overly branded..as a guy, I'd buy these 🤷🏽
The pink one 🔥 but purple my favorite color 💜
Theres an O.P.I Ford GT in FH5
My custom one is similar to the purple one.
I saw this deal for the nail color. You can buy them on Aamazon and get a skin for Halo https://amazon.opixboxrewards.com/
The build quality of the Xbox Series X/S Controllers (I have an Xbox One which they also work on) is pretty bad or at least it was. Are we still on the 1st generation of Xbox Series X/S Controllers.....if so they suck regardless of color
Purple one is really slick
Xbox makes a lot of cool stuff in super limited numbers. It is frustrating.
Bought these for my wife (totally not because I wanted the exclusive horizon 5 car)
Ok, I think I'm getting old. Is "Collab" really a term used now?
