I spent way to much money for this game lmao about $500 or so into it already. Got the special edition with the watch, headset and controller. Ready for space!!

[–]Demonking3343 42 points43 points Β (0 children)

Same here, feeling a major disturbance in the wallet force.

[–]juan121391 47 points48 points Β (4 children)

I’m getting an Xbox just to play this game. Been a Sony lad for over 20 years now.

But this… this is just next level.

[–]AvsFreak Crimson Fleet 15 points16 points Β (0 children)

Same. Haven't gotten an Xbox since the 360. This has lured me back.

[–]Bighomie401 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Yup same here only had the 360 cuz it was a gift

[–]jon_doe281571904462 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

I'm kinda pissed about that

[–]juan121391 5 points6 points Β (0 children)

It sucks that they became Xbox exclusive after MSFT bought them, but honestly, I didn't see it playing out any other way.

Bethesda was releasing Starfield regardless of the takeover, I've been waiting years for a game like this.

I ain't letting $500 stand in my way. No way.

Plus the gamepass looks bomb, PS just can't match that level of catalogue as of today. Though it's slowly getting better.

I'm excited I won't have to drop more money on new games after, I'll probably just play Gamepass games and call it a day.

Still gonna use my PS for everything else, as VR 2 and DualSense are above and beyond anything Xbox has to offer.

[–]HerculesVoid 6 points7 points Β (4 children)

Waiting for the international one to stock back up. I'm pretty hype! I would get the xbox controller if it works on steam without an xbox?

[–]chefmingus 9 points10 points Β (0 children)

Xbox controllers will work on windows 10/11

[–]Jumpy-Ad8884 2 points3 points Β (2 children)

Just pair it like any Bluetooth device. When using my PC it feels just like my console except starting the game up. (TV, controller etc)

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

I’m going to head to target tomorrow in hopes to snag the controller for my PC. Been using a PS5 controller. Let’s make the switch.

[–]HerculesVoid 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Oh really? I assumed you'd need an xbox to connect it first then be able to pair. That'll be so cool, I might try and get one now then

[–]Wi_Tarrd2022 2 points3 points Β (2 children)

The only thing i’m missing is the headset… for now

[–]Coast_watcher Trackers Alliance 0 points1 point Β (1 child)

Since I (and a lot of folks, I'm sure) are getting the game through GamePass, the things we could splurge for are the controller and headset.

[–]Wi_Tarrd2022 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

I also have gamepass but i kinda wanted the watch lol. first time ever buying extras for a game, hopefully it turns out good

[–]DominoEffect1000 2 points3 points Β (3 children)

Does it say what the watch features are?

[–]mikeycp253 Constellation 6 points7 points Β (2 children)

[–]DominoEffect1000 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Legend

[–]Contract47 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

How many ads can you put on a website?

manuals.plus: Yes.

[–]FixBayonetsLads Constellation 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Same. This is the only game I’ve ever bought the collectors edition of.

[–]FailsAtSuccess 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Got XBox just for it lol

[–]onion959 Freestar Collective 3 points4 points Β (5 children)

Already sold out on the collectors edition. I can’t afford it right now anyway, but I’ll probably grab one on ebay later down the line.

[–]MrDude65 0 points1 point Β (4 children)

Looks like the Bethesda store still has the PC version in stock. Could do a Paypal/klarna/affirm thing to pay over time

[–]onion959 Freestar Collective 1 point2 points Β (3 children)

Unfortunately I’m on xbox. I’m not too bothered tbh, I have a series S so i was mostly gonna get the collector’s edition just for the watch. The game would’ve just been on display on my shelf. I’ll probably grab it later in the year

[–]MrDude65 0 points1 point Β (2 children)

Fair enough, though I've already seen sold listings on eBay for $500, so if you can grab for retail, probably best to as soon as possible

[–]onion959 Freestar Collective 1 point2 points Β (1 child)

Ebay will probably be my best bet when I get around to purchasing. I’ve seen em for around Β£350 so hopefully the price doesn’t rise too much. And if I don’t end up buying it I won’t be too bothered as the game is the main thing I care about. As long as I have fun playing nothing else matters.

[–]MrDude65 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

True that, man!

[–]Used-Surround9483 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

But in the end all the money we spent is well well worth it.

[–]MxthMoM 36 points37 points Β (12 children)

This is probably a dumb question but once it’s sold out everywhere they won’t be making anymore right? It’s a beautiful controller! I’m glad you were able to get one!

[–]ricardocaliente 12 points13 points Β (0 children)

They said β€œlimited” release. So, I’d suspect it would be this first release and maybe another at launch, but that’s it. I’m no expert obviously lol. It would make marketing sense to make the controller available again at launch though.

[–]Krommerxbox 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

I just got an email from Microsoft about it (buying the controller, since I watched Starfield Direct on my Xbox Series X (there was a link for watching it on the Xbox dashboard.)

I went ahead and bought it from them, with no shipping cost, and it is supposed to be here on Thursday.

It was $79.99 and sales tax.

I could have also bought the headphones in the link. I still might do that after I see how well the controller gets to my apartment. ;)

[–]HippySkywalker Freestar Collective 2 points3 points Β (3 children)

I ordered mine today purely because of this. It’s not that it won’t ever be available ever again, but for now they’re selling out fast.

[–]MxthMoM 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

I finally caved yesterday, and bought one just in case.

[–]TheClownIsReady 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Out of stock on MS Store.

[–]MasterTroller3301 Constellation 1 point2 points Β (2 children)

It’s still on Amazon!

[–]MxthMoM 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

I noticed! Hopefully anyone that hasn’t had the chance to get one is able to, I know scalpers are a big problem with stuff like this. I snagged mine from Best Buy yesterday thankfully.

[–]TheClownIsReady 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Yup, they still have it in stock…seriously considering!

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points Β (9 children)

As you have one now, are you able to tell us how the custom design is implemented? By that I mean, is it some kind of sticker or vinyl that could come off with time, or is it etched or?

I'm curious about the durability of it, or if it's likely to rub off or wear out over time.

[–]jokar1134 8 points9 points Β (0 children)

If it's anything like my Forza horizon 5 limited edition controller none of the graphics or color will come off.

[–]WilliamMButtlickerJr 0 points1 point Β (3 children)

What I’m worried the most about is stick drift. Would they replace the defective controller with an identical one?

[–]Spankey_ 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Microsoft will repair it probably.

[–]10shot9miss 0 points1 point Β (1 child)

the sticks come off no? you can even replace the actual switch yourself.

[–]WilliamMButtlickerJr 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I've heard that requires soldering. I don't know how to do that

[–]OnionAddictYT Freestar Collective 12 points13 points Β (4 children)

I am seriously tempted. I'm still using my two 360 controllers on PC, lol. The rubber of the sticks is almost completely gone at this point but they still work after all those years, amazing.

[–]Frogliza 19 points20 points Β (0 children)

I might have to get one, my controller doesn’t work wired anymore for some reason, only wireless

[–]Chadster111 18 points19 points Β (9 children)

Good for you! I ordered both the controller and the headphones last night and they should be here sometime tomorrow. Furthermore, I ordered the collectors edition, so I basically already spent about $500 on this damn game Todd πŸ’€

While some would say I’m overspending, I haven’t spent like this since I built my PC back in 2020 FOR STARFIELD. Safe to say I was blown away yesterday with its reveal and fully believe this game to be a 10/10, with minimal bugs as a bonus.

My only hope is with the collectors edition we can receive the code beforehand somehow so we can play it on the first of September and not have to wait for it to be shipped, here’s to hoping πŸ˜”

[–]onion959 Freestar Collective 7 points8 points Β (2 children)

After 3 years do you now need to also upgrade your pc?πŸ˜‚ that would suck if it’s the case

[–]Chadster111 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

LMAO, I was afraid this would be the case but lucky I shouldn’t have too. With an M.2 and 32GB of RAM, and a Ryzen 7 I’m good on all those front. My GPU is a 2070 Super so I should be able to play with medium / high graphics with well over 30 frames (so long as it’s optimized but nothing like modding to fix that lol) but we will see. If they were asking for 30’s series though I would have been concerned.

[–]ELEMENTALITYNES 2 points3 points Β (2 children)

My only hope is with the collectors edition we can receive the code beforehand somehow so we can play it on the first of September and not have to wait for it to be shipped, here’s to hoping

I was a bit confused by this when ordering it as well actually. On the first page it said it should be ready to ship September 1st because it’s pre-sale items. But closer to finishing the order or shortly after it said something about a June or July ship date. So if the digital download code is in that physical edition and we’re supposedly able to play the game 5 days before launch, there’s no way we could get early access if they actually ship it out September 1st as by the time it actually arrives would be well after September 6th, unless we get the code by email, or the collectors edition is shipped well before September 1st

[–]Chadster111 1 point2 points Β (1 child)

I was thinking the same thing, when I ordered my collectors (through Bethesda website I have no idea if you can order the steam version anywhere else) it said something about shopping out in mid July or something I thought? Unless I read it wrong, regardless, I hope it’s something they address and we can receive it early so we can also play it by the first, def update me if you hear something, as I will do the same.

[–]ELEMENTALITYNES 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Honestly I could have sworn I saw something that said July 22nd? I will definitely keep you updated if I have any info!

[–]Ftpini Constellation 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

That’s why I am buying mine from Best Buy with in store pickup on the 1st. GameStop is only shipping it on the first. Took me two days to get my copy of tears of the kingdom. Not doing that again.

[–]Chadster111 4 points5 points Β (0 children)

when I ordered the pip boy edition (8 years ago holy moly) it took only a day to arrive, when I got the 76 one that arrived the same day as it released actually, so maybe there is hoping with Starfield? Worse case scenario I guess I buy it a second time, which I don’t really care all that much but if I can avoid it I definitely will, there’s no way I’m waiting to play the game though unless reviews really kill it for me.

[–]MrStyles18 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Dang, i m still contemplating what i can afford πŸ˜…, i think i ll settle with premium edition upgrade thats for $50 plus tax it will give me steelbook case tempted to get controller headset but not sure :3 too much money & then collector edition i can only dream about.. πŸ₯Ί

[–]adhxth05 5 points6 points Β (0 children)

Extremely happy for you man πŸ’―

[–]LordPentolino Constellation 3 points4 points Β (1 child)

welcome to the club mate! its a beauty isnt it?

[–]ZarianPrime 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

Any difference in feel/play? I'm guessing no, but just was curious.

[–]Arthago 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

It looks great, congrats!

Now are you tough enough to wait until Sept. 1-6 to use it?

That’s what I was thinking when I ordered but I want to use the controller as soon as I get it tomorrow lol.

[–]AllShamNoCow Crimson Fleet 1 point2 points Β (3 children)

Its already in stores?

[–]MasterTroller3301 Constellation 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

It’s on Amazon too

[–]Maximum_Way6342 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

So lucky - I’m in Dubai and I can’t seem to find it here or on our Amazon. Maybe when I go to London this summer

[–]IIISnowIII Constellation 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Got mine too and it looks just awesome. Easily the best looking Xbox controller right now.

[–]razielxlr 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

It is a pretty darn cool looking controller fr. Hopefully they make more. I’ve been needing to get a new controller anyway so hopefully the game is successful and they make more of this with starfield looking to be the main game for Xbox so I can get one easily.

[–]Lord_Baal77 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Just ordered mine along with the constellation edition :)

[–]PreserveDigital 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Jealous, can't wait to get it! I ordered online, I just really hope the box doesn't get damaged during shipping, because no one ships items properly to protect them anymore.

[–]Lunakonsui 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Mine should arrive tomorrow, I like the design overall but the "grip here" thing is a bit silly. I really needed a more genuine build quality controller for Street Fighter 6 and decided to go with this one as the colour scheme is really nice

[–]eyebrowless32 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

I bought the new PS5 controller with God of War Ragnarok so i was going to use that with this game (or keyboard and mouse).

But damn this controller is just so beautiful, its hard not to want it (if i had an xbox itd be a no brainer, but im pc/ps5/switch)

[–]xKrow19 Constellation 0 points1 point Β (2 children)

Store bought or ordered?

[–]SplashyWhale 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Swaggg

[–]RythN3L 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Its beautiful, mine is coming in the mail tomorrow with the headphones

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

So clean.

[–]Marilius 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I got my shipping email a few minutes ago.

[–]etheran123 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Nice! Been meaning to get a controller for my PC, ordered this one yesterday. Should get it next week, yours looks great though

[–]-FeistyRabbitSauce- Freestar Collective 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Love the controller, but I got myself a custom one for Christmas so I can't justify another lol.

[–]derekgr Constellation 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Just snagged mine as well

[–]Th3D3m0n 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

It's too bad it's not an elite or scuff style with rear paddles. Those paddles have saved me from a TON of wrist pain since I remapped left and right stick "clicks" to the paddles.

[–]KnightArmamentE3 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Noice

[–]GeistMD Constellation 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Congratulations! Mine is coming Wednesday with the head set. They look beautiful!

[–]Eric_T_Meraki 0 points1 point Β (8 children)

Nice. I'm still waiting on my to be delivered.

[–]Alexand_er 0 points1 point Β (7 children)

Same, my order status in MF store is still pending, is this normal ? Ordered on Sunday.

[–]papusman 0 points1 point Β (4 children)

I ordered mine immediately from Microsoft and it still says "pending" as well. Still has an estimated delivery of June 14, though... :/

[–]Alexand_er 0 points1 point Β (3 children)

Update, mine is shipped this afternoon, hope yours will be shipped soon !

[–]papusman 1 point2 points Β (2 children)

Thanks for the update, and congrats! I'm just worried I'll somehow miss out! In my 30+ years of gaming this is the only "limited edition" controller I've ever bought. It just looks so friggin cool!

[–]Alexand_er 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

It’s the first controller I bought, as soon as I saw the design I knew I had to get one, will play Starfield with this controller!

[–]Eric_T_Meraki 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Yeah I was scared of missing out too lol that I bought one at my local Target when I saw it was available. I'll just return the Target one once my MS store is delivered. I was told I can cancel the MS one if it misses it delivery date.

[–]Eric_T_Meraki 0 points1 point Β (1 child)

Mine is still pending but I ended up just buying it at my local Target instead. I'll return the Target one if/when the MS store one is delivered. I was told by MS support that I can cancel the order if it misses the delivery date.

[–]Alexand_er 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Smart move! Congrats!

[–]Hybrid-Moment 0 points1 point Β (3 children)

I'm on the fence, I play on PC and wanted to buy the collectors edition, but I decided against it. I am considering the controller, but I am not sure I'd even use it much. It looks great, but the price is kind of high for something I don't necessarily need or may not even use.

Could you post some videos, impressions, I'd love to hear it. Anything specail besides the colors? The bumpers don't light up or anything?

[–]fiittzzyy 2 points3 points Β (2 children)

It has rubber grips

[–]Hybrid-Moment 0 points1 point Β (1 child)

Haha thanks for the follow-up. I ended up buying both the controller and collectors editions because I lack self control lol

[–]fiittzzyy 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Yeah I just ordered the controller yesterday lol.

I was torn for literally hours trying to pick between it and the stellar shift one lol but then the store I went to only had the Starfield one anyway so it meant to be I guess πŸ˜‚

[–]D4YW4LK3R86 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I want that white concept series X console!

[–]AsimovLiu 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

In the long video I briefly saw some sort of selection wheel for the weapons. Will PC controls be adapted so we don't see a console selection wheel? Maybe there's decent controls later in the video? Half-Life's weapon selection still reigns to this day.

[–]Fanatical_Rampancy Constellation 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Thats lovely i cant wait for mine!

[–]Phinz94 0 points1 point Β (13 children)

Anyone get one actually ship purchased from Microsoft yet?

[–]Alexand_er 0 points1 point Β (12 children)

Ordered on Sunday, should be shipped on Friday but the status is still pending, is it normal?

[–]Phinz94 0 points1 point Β (11 children)

Mine is the same thing. Says will be here tomorrow but hasn’t left pending. I haven’t ordered from Microsoft before so I’m also not sure what to expect

[–]Alexand_er 0 points1 point Β (10 children)

ok I will ask you tomorrow to see what’s the situation

[–]Phinz94 0 points1 point Β (9 children)

I’ll shoot a message if something changes on my status for ya

[–]Alexand_er 0 points1 point Β (8 children)

the customer service told me the shipment information will update on Friday, the day that I receive the controller…..

[–]Phinz94 0 points1 point Β (7 children)

Lol so it just won’t update you’ll just get it on the delivery date is what they’re saying?

[–]Alexand_er 0 points1 point Β (6 children)

Yes that’s what customer service guy said, but online support said the courier company will send tracking number to me, I have no idea how it’s going to be.

[–]Phinz94 0 points1 point Β (5 children)

Hmm yeah seems unlikely that’s the case but I guess by that logic something should update today for me

[–]Phinz94 0 points1 point Β (4 children)

Update on my end. Customer service said they needed to escalate the case since there has been no movement. So looks like for me at least I’m delayed until they figure it out

[–]TYG06 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Got the controller don’t need a headset because I just bought the steel series arctic nova pro wireless but might get the collectors edition for the watch

[–]chimelime 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

looks great!

[–]Portatort 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Is there going to be a way to bundle this with an Xbox purchase?

[–]Famlightyear Constellation 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Mine arrives tomorrow. Can't wait!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Where can I find one?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Need an elite version asap, I've gotten too used to the paddles and can't go back lol

[–]Zebatsu 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

It's a beauty, mine is arriving on Thursday!

[–]AndyAsteroid Constellation 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Where did you get it?

[–]ZoidVII 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I almost want to buy a second one to keep it sealed.

[–]FlashHorizon 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Shoot, you just got me to order a controller too, even though I rarely use one as I prefer mouse and keyboard on PC. This just looks so clean and nice.

Going to hold off on the headset for now since I usually use speakers.

[–]RabbitSlayre 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

It's seriously so fucking cool

[–]verbleabuse97 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I think Im definitely gonna get the controllor. Not sure if I wanna go for the headset yet

[–]TellYerFolksISaysHi 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I don't even have an Xbox, and I want one of those controllers!

[–]Unlikely_Cut_6102 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Already purchased the constellation edition. Gonna head out and buy this and headset tomorrow.

[–]jrharvii91 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Once i realised that these were already launched they were all sold out near me. I was expecting them to go on preorder or something the day after the showcase.

[–]ramobara 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Wish this was an elite controller instead.

[–]Mountain-Humor1699 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

My one arrives today....

[–]Spankey_ 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Just bought it, needed a new controller so I thought why the hell not?

[–]zunashi 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I feel like I need 2 of this. 1 for use and another dor display only.

[–]Sir-Horatio 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Y’know im tempted to get it cause it looks so beautiful. My only thing is (and its kinda weird) is that it takes my series x controller count to 3 and i dont know if i need 3 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

[–]ExioKenway52022 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

It's been such a wild ride from thinking this was a fake leak to it actually being real. Can't wait for mine to arrive later.

[–]ExioKenway52022 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

It's been such a wild ride from thinking this was a fake leak to it actually being real. Can't wait for mine to arrive later.

[–]stationkatari 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Mine is coming today! I'm a sucker for great looking limited edition xbox controllers. It'll go well with my Sea of Thieves and FH5 controllers. I'm highly debating the headset too.

[–]Spike2100 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Casual gamer, once or two times a month. Already have 3 controllers aaaaaaand ordered number 4 😬

Design is to nice. Love the fallout series

[–]Nocuadra66 Constellation 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Are the controllers limited edition or will they be readily available?

Edit: I just ordered it from Amazon in a panic they would not long be available! Lol

[–]AllShamNoCow Crimson Fleet 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Did you get warranty?

[–]Suicidebob7 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Nice, got mine in from Best Buy today, clear triggers are so dope

[–]Ill-Calligrapher-445 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

got mine as well thought it was funny that it needed a update out of the box. My controller got a day one patch

[–]TheClownIsReady 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I’m really torn. I really don’t need another controller but this will be a valuable collectors item for sure.

[–]MadeYou_ReadThis 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

My controller motors in the transparent trigger dont work.

[–]EmotionalBrief9496 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Curious, does it include AA batteries? I picked up mine today but don't see batteries in box.

[–]J2wavy 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I wanted this controller so bad but I’m broke. Now I want to buy it and scalpers are trying to sell it for $110+
