You’ll have a chance to purchase an Elite controller after March 2016!
Unless you’re buying a new Xbox One Elite console, you won’t be able to get your hands on an Elite Wireless Controller until March 2016. With the peripheral in short supply online and at retailers, Microsoft underestimated the high demand gamers would have for the $149.99 peripheral.
According to sources from inside the Big M at Tech Insider, the premium-priced controller, which released last October, has been a struggle for Microsoft to keep stoked in stores across the states. Unless you’re willing to pay double or triple through EBay or Craigslist, the remappable button and swappable d-Pad/thumb stick controller will have to remain on your wish list until next spring.
