Yep, ol' reliable is on sale yet again. This is close to its lowest ever price on record, too, so well worth picking up if you're just in need of a quick and easy spare or replacement pad, and aren't too fussed about missing out on extra features from more contemporary controllers. Lots of colorways on sale, too, including:

Deep Pink: $49 at Amazon
Electric Volt: $44.99 at Amazon
Pulse Cipher: $49 at Amazon
Pulse Red: $39.99 at Amazon
Robot White: $39.99 at Amazon

It's not the first time Amazon has dropped the price of its controller to 40 bucks; it typically does so at every Black Friday event. But this is a solid PC controller that works for all games beyond the Luna subscription service.
