and you wanna know if you should Xbox One limited edition
controller for a Sea of Thieves?
Today I'll tell ya in our quick unboxing and review.
Stay tuned.
(energetic bass-centric music)
(high-pitched echoing chime)
So, here it is the Sea of Thieves
wireless controller you can order this now.
It goes for $75 dollars.
I believe Amazon sells it.
You can also get it from Microsoft Direct.
There are going to be some accessories for this as well,
that Microsoft recently announced.
It's including a charging stand
and a matching non-charging stand.
You can pick one or the other.
One's 15 bucks, and the other one's like $50.
There's also a Seagate two terabyte hard drive,
which will be coming out in April,
also with that cool design.
Let's open up the box here, though.
Nothing too fancy.
This is the standard Xbox One S new style controller,
and you can, of course make your own
through their design labs,
but the design here is absolutely astonishing.
Now, I've owned a lot of Xbox controllers,
including the elite, but this one
is definitely the best designed one,
and there's a lot of cool, custom stuff here.
Let's highlight some of the design stuff
here that's really neat.
So, there are these little barnacles
that are built into the device itself,
and those are laser etched, and they did that,
of course with the Xbox Limited Edition
Gears of War controller which we also reviewed,
which had scratch marks on it.
Just a really cool technology.
They can do this fine details,
and it looks really nice.
There is also this translucent design so,
it's got the what looks like a dual layer system.
It is a translucent purple,
and you can kinda see through
and some of the innards of the device,
and it really gives a cool effect.
It just looks really nice.
There's also, of course this sort of rust, copper effect
here as well, giving that green design,
which looks really, really nice in my opinion.
The candy buttons also look really good,
and I just really like the detail that's done here.
If you look closely here at the left thumbstick,
you can actually see what are compass markings
for north, south, east, and west,
which I think is really, again,
nice detail that they did here,
and in the middle here is the skull,
the Sea of Thieves logo, of course,
and yes, it actually glows in the dark.
Now, you probably won't see that very often, obviously,
and glow in the dark stuff only last
for a little while before it fades away,
but is a really cool effect that I just
thought was a nice little Easter egg.
Turn to the front of the device.
Here you can see the triggers, and you get one gold one.
Sort of like I guess pirates
have a gold tooth, or something,
I'm not really sure there,
but it's a really cool effect,
and you do also get a little logo symbol
here on the battery cover,
and if you ever ordered a custom Xbox controller,
you know that there's an option for textured grip here,
and this has that built in as well.
It's very subtle, but it's nice benefit
that they threw in there for free, so overall pretty nice.
Now I should mentioned that this controller
supports Xbox wireless, so it works
with all the Xbox One devices out there,
including the One, the One S, and the One X,
but it also has Bluetooth built in,
so you can use it with any Windows 10 PC,
which is basically how I use it.
Now the benefit of using Xbox wireless is,
you do get the haptic feedback and the vibrations,
as well as the wireless control for headset stuff.
It's a better quality, but if you don't have
that built into your device, and most don't have it.
A Surface Book 2 15" does, but if you don't,
you can fall back to Bluetooth and use that instead.
Microsoft also throws in two double A batteries,
of course, which is pretty standard.
Finally, turning to the more boring stuff inside the box,
we do get the controller information
and hardware and information for warranty stuff,
but there is a little Easter egg here as well.
They are including a Sea of Thieves
exclusive in-game ferryman clothing set.
So, there's a code on the back of here.
When this game comes out, you'll punch it in,
and you'll get an unique costume, I guess.
They don't really show you want it looks like,
but still kinda a cool thing there,
and there's also a 14 day Xbox Game Pass
and 14 days of Xbox Live Gold as a free trial.
Kinda standard with these controllers,
but still though, kinda nice that they threw that in there.
Okay, let's bring it all in.
Should you buy this controller?
I say yes.
Now I, like I said, owned a lot
of these Xbox One controllers.
This is, by far, one the best designs they've done yet.
Now, should you get it if you don't
plan on playing Sea of Thieves?
I would say yes.
It's just like I said, it's a really nice controller.
I had a lot of people telling me that on Twitter
when I posted some pictures of it,
and for 75 bucks, I don't find it too expensive, either,
but it's something you may want to add to your collection.
You can also get those cool accessories.
Now, let's talk about it being limited edition.
I put that in quotes, of course,
because it's not numbered on the box,
so it isn't that limited,
but it won't be sold forever,
so if you do plan on getting it,
well, I would say try to get it
in the next six to eight months,
otherwise it will be harder to find.
Now if you're interested in picking it up this controller,
