We also spend quite a bit of time looking up how to awkwardly use terms from terrible rap songs.<br /><br />Given that, you'll understand our excitement this afternoon over Microsoft's announcement of chromed out Xbox 360 controllers. Better yet, said controllers feature the updated D-pad that Microsoft added in a new 360 controller <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/31/new-xbox-360-controller-dpad-release-date/">back in 2010</a>.<br /><br />As of now, the "Special Edition Chrome Series" wireless controllers will run $54.99 ($5 more than the usual wireless controller price) and are expected to be available at some point in "mid-May." Colors and availability vary by region, according to Major Nelson. Why anyone would want something other than what you see shining above, however, is beyond us.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/xbox-360-special-edition-chrome-series-wireless-controllers/">Xbox 360 Special Edition Chrome Series Wireless Controllers</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/xbox-360-special-edition-chrome-series-wireless-controllers/#4934615"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/04/68929070387c2447eff4b-1333388101_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/xbox-360-special-edition-chrome-series-wireless-controllers/#4934614"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/04/6892906812e32197c699b_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/xbox-360-special-edition-chrome-series-wireless-controllers/#4934616"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/04/7039002565a7ac7a02e1b_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/xbox-360-special-edition-chrome-series-wireless-controllers/#4934617"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/04/70390027415543c99e0co_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/xbox-360-special-edition-chrome-series-wireless-controllers/#4934618"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/04/70390027891f4bd9d12bo_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/04/02/microsoft-goes-baller-with-chromed-out-360-controllers/">Microsoft goes baller with chromed out 360 controllers</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:40:00 EST.
