Op Ebay vinden we wel een hele flitse aanbieding. Daar zou namelijk al een Xbox 360 controller verkocht worden. Het huidige bod staat nog op $117.50. Volgens de bron zou de controller afkomstig zijn van Microsoft op de afgelopen Microsoft conference. Of dat echter waar is valt te bezien.
This is a brand-new, authentic, fully functional XBox 360 controller with a USB connection adapter. I received this from a Microsoft conference that I attended earlier this year.
For those who had bid on my previous listing of this controller, I apologize for relisting, and I invite you to bid again on this one. The reason for ending the previous one is because I took some additional photos in response to the questions I was getting about the authenticity of this controller, etc. Unfortunately, eBay doesn’t let you add photos to an auction that has bids on it, at least not unless you have your own photo hosting site. So I decided to eat the listing cost of the original auction and start up a new one with the new photos. I also shortened this auction to 5 days so that it feels more like it picks up where the previous auction left off, which I thought might be fairer to the original bidders. Hopefully, all this will convince everyone that I really have this thing, and that it’s the real thing from Microsoft.
I do not work for Microsoft, and I do not have the XBox 360 console. However, this controller is totally identical in look and feel to the one I used at the E3 conference earlier this year, and the XBox 360 definitely has the necessary ports for connecting this to it, so I have every reason to believe that it’s totally genuine and that it’ll work with the XBox 360 console when it comes out later this year. Beyond that, I can’t make any guarantees, so caveat emptor. I will also say that of all the game controllers I’ve ever used, this is by far the most comfy — looks like Microsoft really learned from the original XBox controller fiasco. 🙂
Anyway, happy bidding!
