It’s only been a week since Microsoft’s brand-new Pulse Cipher Special Edition Xbox controller went up for pre-orders, and it’s already seeing its first discount at Amazon. You can now save 15% on this yet-to-be-released controller and pre-order your unit for $64 shipped, down from its original listed price of $75. It’s very unusual for Microsoft’s brand-new gear to be discounted this early, so you might want to grab this one quickly before it falls back to its original price. Also, the Amazon “Pre-order Price Guarantee” applies here, ensuring you get charged the lowest price between now and release no matter when you grab it. Head below for more details.
The Pulse Cipher model is essentially a recolor of the Ghost Cipher transparent Xbox controller that hit the scene last year in September and is now fetching the same $64. This one stands out with its eye-catching red aesthetics and the same transparent shell which offers a glimpse of the sleek, metallic internals. Unlike the cheeky Deadpool Xbox controller, this one is identical in shape and size to the Ghost Cipher and pretty much every other Xbox controller out there, meaning you get the same comfortable feel and reliable functionality as standard Xbox controllers with a familiar button layout and responsiveness.
