There are so many discounts on official Xbox controllers right now that I'm having a hard time picking a favorite
Spoiled for choice this Amazon Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day is here in both the US and UK and that means that we're seeing loads of brilliant discounts on the official Xbox Wireless Controller. In fact, so many great colorways and special editions are on offer that I'm have a really hard time picking a favorite.
First up is the traditional Carbon Black Xbox Wireless Controller, which is on sale for just $44 (was $59.99) at Amazon. It's a decent $15.99 saving, making it a good choice for a spare or replacement, but definitely the most exciting model out there. The same is true of the Robot White version, which is on sale for just $44 (was $59.99) at Amazon.
I'm far more interested in the more adventurous options, like the brilliant Velocity Green colorway which is on sale for just $44.99 (was 58.99) when you use the $4.01 coupon at checkout. The striking Shock Blue variant is on offer too for just $44.99 (was $64.99) thanks to a $3.01 coupon. You can also secure the Deep Pink edition for just $49 (was $64.99), which isn't a new lowest-ever price but still a solid $15.99 saving.
The absolute coolest options are definitely the Special Editions, though, which have received some excellent discounts. This includes the smokey Nocturnal Vapor Special Edition, on sale for just $53.41 (was $69.99) which is just cents away from its lowest-ever price of $53.35. The shiny Gold Shadow Special Edition is also discounted and available for only $56 (was $69.99).
As you'll see below, many of these offers are also available in the UK. That said, UK shoppers should definitely pay special attention to the Remix Special Edition, which is on sale for just £49.99 (was £71.37). That's matching its lowest-ever price and, unlike other models, this variant comes packaged with its own rechargeable battery pack so is even greater value.
These are some of the absolute strongest Amazon Prime Day deals that I've seen so far and shouldn't be missed if you're searching for a top quality controller for less.
