Gamers to Decide on New Color Options for Xbox Controllers
Recognizing that color allows people to express their individuality, Microsoft is listening to gamers who wanted color options for their Xbox controllers. The company is even taking it one step further by letting the choice of colors by decided by the gamers. In what might be best described as new twist to the Xbox experience, gamers can log onto www.xbox.com / starting today to vote on colors for a special line of Xbox controllers.
Microsoft is offering gamers a vivid palette of choices, including red, orange, green, blue and clear. The new color controllers will retain the physical characteristics of the highly popular and ergonomic Xbox Controller S.
The votes will be counted on March 31, and the winning colors will be unveiled at the Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) May 14 in Los Angeles. The new color controllers will appear on retail shelves this October in North America.
Of course the controllers will be sold separately for an estimated retail price of $29.99 and will join the black Xbox Controller S on retail shelves.
