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!
