A recent discussion about controllers had me thinking about the various different ones I've had over the years. From 1st-party to 3rd-party, from basic/default designs to the limited edition ones.
So I thought I'd ask: What were/are y'alls favourite limited edition controllers? Can be ones you personally had, or ones you wanted but never bought or maybe couldn't afford.
The ones that I personally had are:
The Arkham City Batarang controller for the PS3
I was heartbroken when this controller died on me back in the day. I was at the peak of my Batman fandom, and it lit up and you could change the colour of the lighting. It was so cool! Now they apparently go for like $200 USD...
And the main PS5 controller I use currently is the first Astro Bot one
I love Astro Bot, and that deep blue + white colour scheme is so pretty
They have or are releasing another Astro Bot one, but I think the only difference is a slightly different expression on the touch pad?
Honourable mention for one I don't have:
The Starfield Xbox controller
Starfield as a game was... Well, it was very cheap when I bought it and I at least had fun pretending I was in Guardians of the Galaxy for like 30-40 hours anyway. Never finished the story. But I do love the aesthetic design of that controller though. If I had my Xbox when that controller came out, I probably would've bought it!
