That is exactly what I thought.  It's the C3PO controller, without the wires.

I just have no idea how it would wear.  It would be so sad if it is easy to scratch.

My Halo: Reach controllers have held up really well.  But they have a matt finish.  Seems like the shiny surface would be more delicate or more prone to show damage.

Don't know.  Metallicized finishes generally wear really well.  Though scratches as you mentioned are a problem.  The biggest problem with metallicized finishes is aherence to the plastic.  But typically where that is a problem, automobiles, you're talking about something that sits in the son all day and bakes.  So the plastic is heated, leaching out the oils, which then aid in the separation of the finish from the plastic.

I don't own, but I like the chromium finishes of the blue and red controllers.  Though I appreciate the criticism that they smudge too easily.  That would be, after all, understandable.  Gold isn't my favorite color though, so this would only interest me if I had the Star Wars Xbox 360 S and wanted more controllers.  I do wish I had the Star Wars Xbox 360 though.  Possibly the best Xbox 360 model released.

Ah, the joys of plasticizes in the heat!  Yes, the other metallic colours look cool too.

It’s funny you mention Star Wars.  I just finished the ‘Jedi Destiny’ of Kinect SW.  It is very physical.  And I actually got better at playing the game and it’s more fun when you know what you are doing.

And started ‘Duels of Fate.’  It does help coach you on how to fight light saber duels which would have been helped on Destiny. 

Sure there are some frustrating tracking issues – much like on some original Wii Games, but most of it works well enough.  It makes you see how close it was to being amazing and revolutionary.  I wonder if they will ‘remake it’ for the Xbox One and new Kinect.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

That is some sexy bling bling there!

This practically looks like something you would find in a Barbie Playhouse. That shine on it is just out of the world.

I like that Golden PS4 a lot more, just for the sake of there being a less distinguishable shine. (It's also probably because I don't like chrome.)

But the main question is, why?

One of two things happened.   Either they had a lot of people asking for a gold chrome controller or they over produced the cover for the Star Wars Xbox 360 Wireless Controller. 

My guess is the former, rather than the latter.
