First ever post after reading OzBargain for so long!
This is the newer updated Xbox 360 controller from Microsoft with the transforming D-pad (great for 2D fighting games) and includes the Play and Charge Kit. RRP is $99.95 as per http://www.xbox.com/en-AU/Xbox360/Accessories/Controllers/xb…
After researching, the cheapest I could get it for was $70 from JB Hifi after negotiating- they average for around $73-$75 at most stores according to http://www.myshopping.com.au/ZM--1214471105_Xbox_360_Genuine…
Given that it's not much more expensive than a regular wireless controller (cheapest around $40) and it includes a battery pack/charge cable, it's a decent deal. If you just want the new Dpad but don't want the Play and Charge kit, Mightyape has grey imported chrome-series for $50 > http://www.mightyape.com.au/product/Xbox-360/Xbox-360-Silver…
Note: Big W lists at $54.65 but you need to add $4 for shipping. The $10 coupon from a few days ago doesn't seem to work anymore.
