This isn’t just not a good price, it’s a triumphantly bad price.
It’s not so bad for new? “The core” ones don’t have the needed accessories like paddles etc. So those aren’t the same
It’s actually a pretty solid deal for a new controller with all the accessories, as they are like $179 at BestBuy and Microsoft. Yes, you can find them refurbished for less on like eBay etc. But, for a NIB Full Set with the replacement parts etc it’s a pretty good deal at $149
Sorry, $135…… actually a better deal than I had previously thought.
My partner has both versions of this controller. They told the series 2 controller was worth it? $100 plus controllers since I have gremlins soooo
And, you can bedazzle it with sequins.
Also another 10% off for prime members, basically no tax!
I have also heard from some folks that they made massive improvements on the series 2 elite controllers. There were massive quality issues with the series 1.
One of the biggest problems (from what I’ve seen/experienced) is that the rubber grips on the handles of the Series 1 used to come off completely over time from pretty normal wear and tear. Had 2 of mine with fallen off grips and a friend had 1 that did the same as well.
Microsoft was really good about replacing the controllers though, atleast from my own experience.
Brand new on eBay for $100.
You have a link?
Oof hopefully they redesigned the replacement parts to be more durable. Id feel scammed if I bought a premium controller like that and it ended up being poor quality though. Microsoft has always been great with that in my experience as well. Ever since the red rings on the 360, even as a young whipper snapper I somehow managed to contact Microsoft and send them my Xbox 360 elite when it got the red ring.
Sweet deal

$99.95, only one left.
Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Core | Xbox
$109.99 at microsoft right now. Not sure about shipping charge.
These are the core versions, I’m not sure which version woot is offering. Seems to be $129.99 when not on sale at Microsoft.
Ignore all that. This normally goes for $179, this isn’t the core pack. This bundle includes the component pack with the extra paddles, thunbsticks, and d pad.
So for that kind of money I can place it in front of the screen and it automatically gets me the high score right? Right?
Can anyone explain what makes this worth the price?
I’m still rocking the controller that came in the box. I have yet to mentally wrap my head around regular controllers costing $60… What exactly does an elite controller do that the regular ones don’t that makes it worth over twice as much?
It has paddles on the back of the controller that are mapped to buttons you pick, you can set different buttons to different games within the controller and select them, can have domed thumb sticks instead of the dishes ones, and I think you can adjust the sensitivity of the sticks also. I don’t think they are worth the $180 normal price, but finding them NiB close to $100 is a good deal
Is the additional 10% discount for prime already included in that price? Looking at it on my phone and it seems to be that way… I added to cart and checkout and it’s still keeping the 134 price.
I’ve already bought something else this morning and I got the 10% discount on that very last screen before buying. I am a Prime member and used my Amazon Prime login here on Woot.
