Gamers Speak, Xbox Listens: Blue and Green Controllers Available Now

Microsoft today announced that new blue and green controllers are now available on North American store shelves for an estimated retail price of $29.99 (U.S.). In March, Xbox.com asked gamers to vote for their favorite new controller, each design featuring bold colors worthy of sitting side-by-side with the famed black and green Xbox color scheme. More than 50,000 gamers responded to the online poll; and overwhelmingly, gamers rallied behind the blue and green designs. Rather than select just one new color, Microsoft decided to offer both blue and green options to gamers. The controllers are sold separately and join the black Xbox Controller S on retail shelves.
