Xbox Design Labs has done fantastic work for Xbox over the years, producing striking, colorful variants of the standard Xbox Wireless Controller for people who don't want its default color schemes.
One of the Xbox Wireless Controller's more expensive yet artistically rich variants, the Heart Breaker, has just gotten a rare 39% discount so that players can appreciate its beauty for $49.00 at Amazon instead of its usual MSRP of $79.99.
Why buy the Heart Breaker Edition of the Xbox Wireless Controller?
The Heart Breaker Edition of the Xbox Wireless Controller functions identically to the regular version, right down to its responsive controls, comfortable ergonomics, and stable wireless connectivity to Xbox consoles, and Bluetooth connectivity to Windows PCs, tablets, and phones.
In addition, the controller can even play Xbox games via Xbox Cloud Gaming with just a TV linked up with an Amazon Fire TV Stick and an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate account.
The only major difference is that the Heart Breaker sports a custom-made clamshell by Xbox Design Lab with a bold pink, purple, and blue collage color scheme that's pleasing to the eye.
So, if you don't like the standard Carbon Black or Robot White Xbox controllers and fancy treating yourself or your loved ones to a prettier rendition of one of the best Xbox controllers for less this Christmas, then the Heart Breaker Edition is not a bad choice now that it's on sale for $49.00 at Amazon.
