$15 is a good price for any XBox controller, let along a wireless one. Gonna get me a couple of these for me and my friends.

Not thrilled by the design scheme, and the glowing looks gimmicky at best, but doesn't matter when your eyes are on the screen.

$23 total including tax and shipping is pretty good. You can't buy them locally for that much.

ordered 3, free shipping, comes up to $17.24 each.
a good compliment to a modded Xbox with XBMC as dashboard.

[Pro]

Wow! That's super ugly! Good deal though. I for one, don't mess with 3rd party products for any console I own. Gimme the original!

[Emancipated]

Is it pumped full of radioactive goo? Nasty. People are going to get cancer touching that. Sweaty palms = open palms = cancer, come get some!

Couldn't resist. Just buy a can of spray paint and have at it.

[mahjongmaniac]

good deal for a wireless.

but the design isn't too amazing.

the controller w/o the glowing feature looks better than w/ glowing....

[d-man]

Nice deal. Thanks.

[duckdown]

Gonna order, what kind of Warranty though?

[Angultra]

If your order is $50 or more, i.e. 4 wireless controllers or 3 and filler, and you pay with VISA

MAPJANNCSAVE = $10 off $50

For new customers only, but you can make a new account simply by providing a new e-mail address (everything else the same). I've used it more than once. So if your cart has $50, the total will be $46 after tax and free shipping. (thanks to blink for posting the coupon)

They also have a bunch of different XBox controllers at Princess Auto (I saw a couple different brands there tonight).

I seem to recall they were around 14.99 or thereabouts...?

Also found this wired controller for only $7.99. Here is a press release I found below:

Mad Catz Lumicon Controller:

http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000AI1KS/ref=br_lf_vg_4/702-2829440-2358440

"Mad Catz™ Interactive, Inc., the world's leading third party video game accessory manufacturer, today announced that the LumiCON™ for the Xbox™ has shipped to retail outlets nationwide.

The second entry in the brand line, the LumiCON lets players really get into their game and experience the full ambiance. Emitting an underglow with lighted action buttons, the LumiCON is the ultimate controller for gaming in the dark! Available for a suggested $24.99 U.S., the LumiCON comes in a variety of colors including cobalt blue, emerald green, orange and smoke black.

The LumiCON is perfect for gaming in the dark with its unique lighting, advanced performance and extra cool style. Features include comfortably set fully analog joysticks, pressure-sensitive action buttons and two powerful vibration motors with realistic rumble. The powerful macro button allows players to pre-program complicated moves that require a combination of D-pad and action button sequence moves to perform intricate maneuvers. The Macro feature can be programmed on four separate buttons, each with up to 15 individual settings. Comfortable rubberized grips and a durable, braided cable provides enough room to move around. In addition, the LumiCON draws its power from the Xbox gaming system itself so there is no need for batteries."
