That's a little more reasonable. I just think paying more for a controller than a game is crazy.
Ehh, I can see that mentality, but I don't really agree. A game, I'll play it for a month and dump it off. A controller, it's meant to last several years. It's pretty rare that a game last more than 2 years in my rotation (and that is basically limited to
Halo). given that games are copy-pasted data onto a cheap piece of plastic, while each controller requires the full set of materials, I think it's reasonable to have the controllers at a similar price.
That said, $70 on the
Halo 5 controllers is a clear brand-grab. The
Forza 6 controller is only $65, as I think the
Titanfall one was (which I have).
I am really hoping for a $40 Xbox One controller on Black Friday. Any day now we should get the wireless PC dongle for it from MS.
They were $40 last Black Friday. I regret not getting the
Advanced Warfare one, it looks pretty cool.
It's already up for pre-order:

Only $25, which is shocking (the controllers went up $10 this generation, and the Play & Charge went up $5, so surprised this isn't, like, $40.). Has a release date of 10/27.
