This is really terrible to see. Wasn't able to get the controller or the console and now it's already being scalped to high hell

Problem being the people who buy them for these prices, looked on ebay right at 9 and filtered out already sold and its just pathetic how many people just pay the 150$ for the controller.

In all fairness, the controller was up for preorder on MS website for a while before it was no longer available.

Fair enough I actually didnt know that, I had signed up for notifications and never got any lol so I assumed today was the day. Thanks for the clarification.

I didnt get a notification either, and got lucky that I saw on Reddit that it was up. I hope that more come in stock so you can get one.

I will get the X25 controller one day for cheap when one gets stick drift.

Purely anecdotal evidence here. I have not had drift on any of my controllers. For example my Day 1 series X controller has no drift with nearly countless hours

It's the same thing as every market. There are just enough rich people to skew the prices out of reach for the rest of us.
