  With crap like this, they must be nearing the end of the 360 life cycle. Imagine cleaning that thing.

  They are nearing the end with 360's 2013 will be a new generation so they say.
  
  Those are cool looking controllers but the next thing you'll hear from people that by them is, there smug from finger prints and show dust, just like the piano black glossy monitors.

  Yeah, mine get pretty nasty and require a good cleaning every couple months or so. I cannot imagine the junk you would see reflected on these. Silver for me too. But not for $55. I recently picked up one of those new transforming dpad spec ed controllers. Nothing like a new fresh controller. I don't get the whole transforming dpad though.
