Limited Edition Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controllers Debut at Best Buy

Xbox's $99 Elite Core Controller Gets Exclusive Best Buy Run

Three new Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controllers. Finally, some style. The limited editions, priced at $149.99, are a steal considering Xbox Design Lab's customization starts at $169.99, making them a solid option for gamers who want a personalized touch without breaking the bank.

You'll notice the controllers stand out. They've got style. In a way, that's the real feel. And the designs are preconfigured, with help from Xbox's Design Lab. This service lets players customize, with options for the front and rear shell, grips, and thumbsticks. It's key that these limited editions have unique shell colors - vibrant red, deep blue, and translucent green - which you can't replicate with the Design Lab right now, making them worth mentioning, and honestly, that's what makes each controller special, with a certain honesty in their exclusivity.

Microsoft's $129 Xbox Elite 2 Core: Best Buy Exclusive

It's a controller. The Xbox Elite Series 2 Core is premium. You'll get the same design as the $200 Xbox Elite Series 2, with some key features that make it stand out. For instance, the adjustable-tension thumbsticks are a big deal, giving you precision control, and the wrap-around rubberized grip is a nice touch, making it comfy during long gaming sessions. The shorter hair trigger locks are also worth mentioning, as they provide quicker response times. We've got a difference, though. The Core and the full Elite Series 2 are not the same, in that the Core doesn't come with extra paddles, thumbsticks, a D-pad, or a travel case - you'll have to buy those separately as a component pack for $59.99, which is a bit of a bummer, but it's an option, for those who want it. The Core is still a solid choice, with the real feel of a high-end controller, and it's available at Best Buy, which is a key retailer for this kind of product.

The Elite Series 2 Core is here. It's for you. You'll get a high-performance controller. No extra stuff. The feature set is key. It helps with competitive play. You can adjust the thumbsticks. They've got tailored resistance. It's for different styles. The grip is rubberized. You'll get less slip. Intense sessions are no problem. The trigger locks are shorter. You'll get faster action. That's a win.
