Xbox One controllers, headsets available for pre-order

4.6
The Xbox One controller is available for pre-order on the Microsoft Store for $59.99. The store is also offering the controller with a Play and Charge kit for $74.99, with the kit priced at $24.99 on its own. Lastly, Microsoft's Store lists its "must-have" wired headset for $24.99.

Amazon also has the Xbox One controller available for pre-order, listed for a Wednesday, November 27 release, just one day before Thanksgiving. The Microsoft Store still has the "Day One" edition of the Xbox One console listed as being available in November. Whether Amazon's date holds up remains to be seen, but the controller is also available for pre-order at GameStop and Best Buy. Sony's DualShock 4 controller for the PlayStation 4 is also available for pre-order, and is also around $60.

MoDOT I better have a headset and controller with my xbox when I go to pick it up...


Controller, yes. Headset, no. You have to buy the headset separate because the "Kinect has a built in mic" but nobody likes talking through their Kinect which is across the room in most situations


Ya they have billions of dollars but cant make a single good mic how sad.


How do you know the mic is bad in the Kinect 2? You don't. Don't make assumptions, because you just make an ass out of yourself.

III_XBOI_III Lol I swear MS and Sony are getting over. I pre ordered the ps4 and xbox controller. I wonder how much the adapter will cost, can't let a good pair of Astros go to waste.


Probably $100 knowing microsoft.


MS wouldn't sell the adapter, it'd be third party, so not as much as $100


I'm pretty sure I read on this site that Microsoft is working on an adapter for the older headsets, as tweeted to a twitter user by the Xbox Support twitter account. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

The reason they're allowing people to pre-order these items is because the Xbox One(or the PS4) doesn't come with multiple controllers, so if you wanted some of your friends to play on your Xbox you'd need to go out and buy another controller or two. I think the same goes with the headset, so multiple people can be engaged in the conversation.

For example: Lets say that you're planning to get the Xbox One on day one with Forza 5 and your friends want to play split screen when you get it. You cant play split screen with 1 controller. They're giving people the option to be prepared for having multiple users on the same console. And lets also say you're gonna be in a Xbox Live Party with them and some of your other friends. They'd maybe want a headset to be a part of the conversation.

That's my thinking of it, maybe it will have cleared up a question from some people in the comments.

I would have thought so I mean its kinda pointless them selling an Xbox without a controller to use it with I no its got kinect but not all games are compatable
