Yes, Amazon UK really is selling the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for less than £100 right now ahead of Christmas. This makes it one of the best gifts for gamers around this Holiday season at such a strong discounted price.

Right now, you can pick up the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller for just £99.99 at Amazon UK. That's an enormous £60 off retail price (it's usually £159.99). There is a catch, though, that we'd be remiss not to mention. Currently, the controller is slated for delivery in early February, so it would likely make for a very late Christmas gift indeed. However, we'd still recommend it if you're looking to purchase one of the best Xbox controllers for a record-low price while stocks last.

The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller boasts several advantages over the pack-in Xbox Wireless Controller. Build quality is superb here, with a luxurious finish that rests comfortably in the hands. It's also got several quality-of-life features, like swappable thumbsticks and programmable rear paddle buttons, ideal for assigning alternate inputs in your favorite titles.
