Only problem is, I would NEVER use it so it would be pretty impractical to buy.. Not to mention, the silver controller I have now, the first one that came out with the transforming d-pad, the silver on the d-pad is chipping and is somewhat sharp seeing as how it's peeling away. This would almost undoubtedly be the case with these..
But I'll probably get a couple just cause they look unbelievable. Wish they had gold...
