Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox Duke controller price tag

For something you don't care about, you are awfully annoyed. It is like me being annoyed by how much Rolls Royce or some exotic niche car costs. *shrugs*

No use for this now, but I really liked that controller. I liked it more than the S, which was pretty good itself.

I honestly dont get you. People on Larry's/Greenberg twitter were asking to bring the Duke back, Seamus one of the founding fathers saw the amount of tweets and a third party company said, well if you want we make a design. Microsoft accepted the design and gave the third party company the greenlight to make it.

I think it's great and 70$ is certainly not overpriced for something that probably ship at most 100k and is made for the fans. You may call it a collection control just like special collection editions are made for games that cost 150$ or more that comes with some artbook and a figurine.

Yes, It's the Nes Classic of controllers, nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia.



I loved the Duke back in the OG XB days. Got big hands so it was perfect for me.

Beast mode off some lan halo and winning eleven with  the Duke... Which reminds me, probably still got my modded Xbox and a couple if Duke controllers lying around somewhere at my folks.

Same here. I hated the Controller S that thing was an abomination.

Pretty ridiculous. Especially considering the majority of people who buy it will only use a couple of times or just make it an instant paper weight.

We must unite against the smallhands!

Out of all controllers I've ever handled in my life, this was the only one that gave me major issues. Neat to see it has returned in a way.
