alright, I have seen the red xbox controller once and i have not been able to find where it originated and where i can buy one.

i believe it is a euro release red system w/ controller, but does anyone know where i can order just the red controller from....i have checked lik-sang, play asia, and toysnjoys and none of them have it

anyone have more info on the controller or where i can order it from?

Really? If so, I want it! If there is an ultra rare red xbox too, I want that as well! I wanna match my Xbox to my PS2! Lol.

Its not a US release (but then again you knew that already), but if I remember correctly when MS did the vote on a color controller for the Type-S a while back, the US got Blue and Green, and I think Europe got red. Japan is just cool and theyve got mutiple colors.

I would LOVE 4 of those suckers. I've even looked for 3rd party red controllers (I have a metallic red skin on my Xbox). Too bad they're $41, I ain't payin' that kind of money for 'em.


In other news, about the Limited Release Japanese Edition (green jewel) S Controllers...I saw some at Best Buy last night. I flipped over the package and made sure my eyes weren't deceiving me. Nope, 2002 copyright. I ended up picking one up ($25 w/ Gamer Gift Card).

The top row, last controller, above the green one. The directional pad is different than the rest.

I hope Im not just seeing things..... :hmm:

WTF?? Dude thats a serious bug out. I fucking zoomed into the picture and it really looks like the middle of the cross on the directional pad is missing, thus looking similiar to the style on the PS2 controllers.

I need a nap... x_x

Wow pretty cool controllers there. I like having lots of controllers too, some for display, and a few "workhorses" that get used alot at multiplayer parties.

My mate picked up one of those orangeones once... He sold it on eBay for over £90!!! He should've kept it. I told him to plenty of times...

I only have the two green clear ones which came with my Xbox.

Didn't even know that there were other colour's except for the standard black, clear green, and crystal. Oh, and the Jap grey one. and the Panzer white one and Kasumi blue one...

and now that auction is up to $76 with a majority of the bidders being the great ZERO feedback bidders.....i gave up on the idea of sniping that one.....let the seller relist it when the winner doesnt pay up

Lemme give this thread some new life. :D

Ok, So I was browsing through Xbox-Scene and came across a thread started by someone who runs a business. Though they are not original controller cases made by MS they are made pretty well according to people who have tried them. I guess the guy selling it is legit because alot of people are giving him praise and showing pics of their replacement cases.

Anyway, They look cool as hell. I will be buying a few. :)

Which brings me to this, I wonder if that red controller on ebay was indeed a factory original... :hmm:
