Overall, it's a great controller. First time using the new adjustable d-pad, which is a nice touch. My only complaint is the product shots make the controller's red coloring look brighter than it actually is. It's more of a darker red, almost burgundy in color. All in all, great controller.

Like every collector item, they always comes with steep price but they are awesome in the end. Custom graphics featuring infected crimson omen of Gears of War. The controller comes with transforming D-Pad allows more stable control, for example more stable in switching weapons in Gears of War 3. I remember I used press and see in the screen that I am switching between grenades and gun, that is annoying in middle of intense multiplayer game. And yes it comes with skin pack for weapons for Gears of War 3 so its pretty nice bonus too. Controller is light gloss so don't worry about finger prints, it is not like Xbox 360 S 250gb Gloss, which liternally shows case of CSI :P.

Microsoft has done the Halo franchise it's due with this accessory. From the box to the little extras (i.e. the Covenant Banshee avitar prop). As with all offical Microsoft licensed controllers, this one is very solid and has a good feel, especially with the fiish they have given the controller. The finish has a very subtle texture to it on the sliver parts(more so then the standard controller) that gives it a bit better grip. The overall looks are just gorgeous for a controller. The silver matte finish and the subtle black detail lines go perfectly. Also the black buttons, control configuration and battery cover add to the looks very well. The crome "X" button is just icing on the cake.

Now, it has been years since I have purchased a new controller, so it just may be a lack of comparison, but the controller felt a little extra responsive in the "D" pad and the sticks. You will have to judge that for yourself.

Finally, the extras. First, the controller comes with 2 Duracell batteries to power it up and then there is the the exclusive Covenant Banshee avitar prop. I have to admitt I play with the xbox avitar from time to time but it is not over important to me, but I have to admit the Banshee flying around your avitar, while "you" are holding the new Reach controller, is pretty cool.

Over all I am very, very pleased with this controller and feel the money for this controller was well spent. If you are like me and have not purchased a new controller for some time, now is the time, you will not be disappointed.

I wanted to buy a fresh Xbox controller, and I was a bit sick of the usually black/white. I wanted a silver one, but then I found this Fable III controller and had to have it. It looks even cooler when you have it in your hands and functions just as well as any normal controller. Great buy.

Got this one year ago as of today. finally writing a review to say yes it still works. it is a very nice controller. and very durable. we love it.

I think the controller looks pretty much the same as the piture shows. It has a good feel to it and seems like it is not cheaply made. It does however still feel like it is a little pricey for what you get. Obviously someone is buying this just for the way it looks but you can get a similar controller with a charger pack for same price or cheaper. The shipper or Amazon did not update the shipping status at all. The status just remained "shipping soon" and then 8 days later it just showed up. I kind of like to know when something is arriving and felt that was a bit odd.

This is a good quick responding controller unlike the old mushy responding controllers. It has a great look and adds a little flash to my gaming system.

Thia is one of the best looking 360 controllers out there. The design is great and you can't beat the price.

This is the controller to have if you're a Gears fan! I didn't know it also came with a code to get some in game skins which was a nice surprise. I also like the new D-Pad. The best controller for the XBOX yet!

Just received the gears of war controller and it's very well put together, including the gears design. It has a glossy finish and feels good in the hand. It's obviously made by Microsoft, so you know it's made pretty well not a knock off. It has the pop up d-pad button that you rotate to the left for it to activate. The only problem is that it doesn't come with the chargeable battery. It comes with batteries only. Other than that, all the buttons feel great, just like the other controllers and looks sweet. I might even order another.
