Gaming is pretty expensive at this point. We’ve gone from being in the golden age of affordability, with a mass of free games, the more budget console options, and great peripherals, to one in which every price is climbing higher. It’s a little bleak, and prices don’t look they’re coming back down anytime soon, so it pays to be smart with how you spend your money. That means going for quality devices when they’re on sale, because they’ll last longer, and they’re better value for money.

If you’re in the market for a new controller, that means going for the Xbox Wireless Gaming Controller today, because it’s on sale for $60. That’s $10 off the usual price, and this thing will last you absolutely ages. This discount pops up here and there, but it rarely lasts for long, so if you do fancy this, we recommend being quick about it.

Game On

The Xbox controllers have always been good, but the latest iteration really is something special. The comfort is incredibly high, with not only a great shape, with everything button being in a place that feels natural, but also a textured grip to help make sure you can game for hours on end with no discomfort. That’s true even if you’re sweating, although you should wipe your controller regularly if that’s the case, don’t be gross. You can game for absolutely ages too, thanks to how efficient the battery usage is. We do recommend picking up a rechargeable battery pack alongside this though, as it has no built-in battery.
