Local pricing announced for Xbox 360 accessories
Piggy-backing off the endless tidbits of gaming related news spewing forth from the E3 conference, Microsoft New Zealand has taken the opportunity to announce local pricing for a couple of upcoming Xbox 360 accessories.
First up is the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit — the diminutive device that plugs into your existing 360 controller and provides convenient thumb-stroke chatting abilities — it gets a NZ RRP of $49.95, comes with a headset and is available in September.
Second, Microsoft will release a range of different coloured wireless controllers in October. Available in pink, dark blue and light blue, they’ll cost $89.95 and — according to Microsoft — allow you to ”express your gaming identity". Only three colours? What about puce? No one ever remembers puce...
PC World is New Zealand’s top selling computing and technology magazine.

I'm sorry, I didn't read your article correctly. Did you say that the xbox 360 controllers will be $90?!....
And they expect us to buy them?
