Gold PS3 Controller Isn’t Real Gold, Still Awesome

GameStop will begin stocking an exclusive metallic gold PlayStation 3 controller. The darn thing is really, really nice, and it just has this royal, elite touch to it. Seriously, just look how gorgeous that controller looks!

The new color design won’t be launching until October 9, but you can pre-order yours now. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, this isn’t some third-party peripheral (not that there’s anything wrong with those). This beauty is an official PlayStation 3 controller from Sony.

The golden controller is priced at $54.99, which is right on par with controllers this generation. Ah, the high prices we’re willing to pay for wireless functionality. In any case, this one’s gold!

You think so? I actually think it's pretty cool. Though I kind of wanted some third-party see-through one that lights up more than I want this one.

I saw a 360 equivalent in a game store a few weeks back. I think it had something to do with some kind of console bundle.

It worked for the N64, not so much the PS3.

First off, who the hell is going to preorder a controller?

Second, why the fuck does a current gen controller still cost more then $30? Especially a DualShock... really a fucking DualShock, the same controller design that older than almost everything I own, the same controller that if it were a person would be a goddamn sophomore in high school right now.

Oh wait we are talking about the DualShock THREE! The controller that revolutionized gaming back when the R&D department at Sony took a ps2 controller, cut the wire and said: "Lets put bluetooth in this bitch."

Or maybe the price stems from the EPIC motion sensing technology used in the DS3, The feature so special that a total of 6 people remember its even there first place.

Maybe the gold colour will make you forget that you're being raped...IN THE ASS.
