Once upon a time people said that ‘nobody wants to talk while they play games…they like typing’. They said ‘your bet on broadband is crazy…look at the current penetration rates’. They also said ‘who wants a friends list in their game?’ Five years and 3.1 billion game sessions later we’re preparing to celebrate Xbox Live and its 5-year anniversary.
For me, celebrating Xbox Live turning five just got a tad bit more exciting! Take a look at the special edition LIVE is 5IVE Xbox 360 wireless controller. I’ve received a lot of cool things here at U360 and this one ranks right up there with the best of my Bag & Swag. I didn’t think I’d fancy an orange controller but this one looks great.
I want to send a big thanks to Microsoft and the Xbox Live team for five amazing years of gaming across the world with friends. I was an original beta tester so this little doozie will be extra special to me. It will now be my primary controller. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to get these in any store. Check out more pics of the LIVE is 5IVE controller here.

“Are these going to be in store?
God I hope so.”
Many of those are, it lists how “common” or “easy to find” they are but the ones that I WISH they would release are the “prototypes” as I said eariler, those were some of the main faceplates they were showing us…and then took them away never to be heard of again.

Oops, I was refering to the Faceplates, not the controller.

[...] perhaps this isn’t the most exciting news coming out of E3 but as an owner of a special Orange controller, I felt I would share the news about some other Limited Edition controllers in the accessory [...]
