Being angry I had to buy another controller. My controller was white. I wanted something cooler and I'm a big Halo fan. This controller was pretty cheap and shipped quickly. Congratulations to the seller for a great job. The controller looks great! It has a smooth matte finish like a regular controller. It doesn't come with a play and load kit or a convertible d-pad like the Fable 3. Having said that, it's still great for the price I got it for. It would have been cheaper if it was full price ($60). The Xbox Home button is like a mirror in which you can see your reflection. I like it. Overall this is a great replacement and at a great price. It's not much different, but it looks fantastic. I didn't get the Banshee avatar item so it doesn't matter.
