Getting your hands on any available Xbox One Elite controllers has proven tricky. Availability has always been an issue, forcing those interested into purchasing specific bundles and console packages.

In this article we've shared some of the different ways Xbox One owners can get their hands on an Xbox Elite Controller.

Through Xbox.com

The easiest way to get an Elite Controller is from the Xbox.com website - if they have any in stock. On the shop on the xbox.com website, standalone controllers can be found for $149.99. Other details about what the controllers can do, and how they can benefit competitive play and esports can also be found here.

Xbox One Elite Bundle

If you are in the market for a new Xbox One, the Xbox One Elite bundle may appeal to you. Not only is it another route to go for a custom Xbox One controller, but it ends up being an incredibly valuable deal as well. For example, the Microsoft store currently

A brand new free DLC pack has been added to Halo 5: Guardians and it adds a range of new features. The DLC pack has been named "Cartographer's Gift" and it features a large number of new features and cosmetic items.

The most important addition to the new DLC for Halo 5 is Forge. Forge wasn't added at launch like it was in previous Halo titles. The wait was worth it though because Forge in Halo 5 is the most complex version we've seen of the map builder yet. Players are given a huge range of new tools in the new Forge.

On top of Forge, the Cartographer's Gift DLC has added a large range of new Spartan armor pieces, including two new armor sets, the iconic MARK IV armor set and the Raijin armor set. New emblems, new helmets and a variety of new Warzone REQ rewards have also been added into the latest DLC for December.

The December DLC is just the start of it as well. A brand new free DLC pack will also be released in January and a sneak peak at that has revealed that

Titanfall has landed, and everybody here at Evil Controllers is incredibly excited over the game's launch. Titanfall has managed to wow the industry, and Respawn Entertainment may have just handed us the next best thing for the FPS genre.

If you've managed to get your hands on Titanfall but haven't had the chance to grab the gorgeous limited edition Titanfall Xbox One controller, we have great news for you. For a limited time only, our custom controller creator supports a Titanfall themed shell that's just as beautiful as the limited edition controller.

This is just the start though - when choosing the Titanfall shell, you will still have all of the options available that come with every other Evil Controller within the controller creator. This means that you can equip your very own limited edition Xbox One Titanfall controller with our amazing Master Mod, custom buttons and custom LED. Our Master Mod can give you an added grip against your opponents in Titanfall, and many

Last week it was revealed that the Xbox One Titanfall bundle will be getting a 30 Euros discount in the UK, bringing the price of the next gen console slightly closer to the PlayStation 4's price. However, at the time, it was clear that the PlayStation 4 was still a better deal, and despite the price drop from 430 to 399 Euros, the Xbox One Titanfall bundle still wasn't cheap enough to sway any PlayStation gamers to the Microsoft side of the fence.

This week, GameStop has decided to bump it up a notch by reducing the Xbox One's price as well, bringing the console price even lower than the original price cut. The console bundle has now been reduced another 30 Euros, making the console price 369 Euros.

This bundle also comes packed with a digital copy of Titanfall, a standard controller, the Kinect sensor, and of course the console as well. The Titanfall standard SKU will also come with a headset for talking on Xbox LIVE, and a 1 month free trial of Xbox LIVE Gold.

The Titanfall beta was great fun - it captured the fast paced adrenaline fueled environment of Call of Duty and banked on it by including jetpacks, parkour, and crazy giant mechs. And, despite previous concerns, the AI in the game work really well, too.

A lot of the people I've spoken to that have also experienced the Titanfall beta have stated that they really enjoyed the game too, but there was one thing that didn't come up in our conversations.

What I'm talking about is replay value - in the beta, there were just two levels, and two standard Titans. Players could only level up to rank 14, and there was a very limited weapon customization system. I was worried that Titanfall could get boring really quickly, and without any idea of what content the game could offer, I can't be the only one that has wondered whether Titanfall would be worth buying at launch.

Luckily, a lot of information has leaked, and we can

An article keeps popping up on Computerandvideogames, and in fact, at the time of writing, it was the most popular post on the entire website, despite it being written around 4 years ago. The article reveals a story about DICE, and their overall succumb to publisher pressure, and the article, four years later, is filled with irony and unfortunately, not of the funny kind.

The article depicts an interview with DICE's senior producer at the time with Xbox World 360 Magazine asking all of the questions. One question that made the title of the article was about paid-for content, maps and DLC.

At the time a DLC pack for Modern Warfare 2 was released for 1200 Microsoft Points, however, it was met with quite a lot of frowns on that day. The reason for this was because DICE had released a free DLC pack on the exact same day for their game at the time, Battlefield Bad Company 2.

When asked about all of this, Patrick Bach, DICE's senior producer at the time, stated

As far as beta's go, Titanfall's was pretty damn successful. In fact, the developers behind Titanfall have revealed that the game had received around 2 million unique players after the beta was opened up to the public.

Respawn Entertainment have revealed that the upcoming FPS shooter title has been very successful in it's beta stage, and the huge amount of players have helped the development team to spot some bugs and game mechanic exploits thanks to the dozens of players that live streamed or uploaded video footage to thousands of viewers.

Many gamers were making the remark that a beta this late into a game's development isn't really a beta at all, and is instead just a glorified demo. Whilst it's true that any major gameplay decisions can no longer be adjusted, I do think that the beta did some good for the development of Titanfall.

Firstly, Respawn's servers were put under pressure, and what better way to test servers than to open up the game for everybody to play

Upcoming first person shooter Titanfall may prove to be the next best FPS game, but it’s still going to be using the same scummy tactics that every published backed video game has been using for the last few years.

What I’m talking about is DLC - the extra content that you can pay for after you've already bought the game. Like many developers nowadays, Titanfall is already working on the DLC content despite the game not actually being out yet.

With EA at their back, Respawn Entertainment unfortunately don't really have much choice but to release extra purchasable content for Titanfall. At EA's Q3 earnings call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson has revealed that Titanfall DLC is planned, but that it would "evolve" depending on the actions and behaviors of the playerbase.

Wilson said, "Titanfall is a highly innovative game that's multiplayer drive and so we expect a lot of online engagement around that. We're planning extra content already for the product, but in the nature

There was a certain trend for many top publishers last year - the likes of Activision and EA seem to be pushing their developers to the limits by trying to release games as quickly as possible to reduce any possible competition in the market and ensure that games like Call of Duty or Battlefield are bringing in nice, fluid streams of revenue.

The problem with this is that on our end of the stick, we're often handed a mangled, chewed up representation of what the developers originally had envisioned. Both Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty Ghosts had their issues at launch, and DICE and EA are still going through the problems with Battlefield 4 today.

This makes the average gamer feel a little cheated on, really, and at least for me personally, I hope that this kind of tactic changes.

One game that I'd happily wait for is Watch Dogs, and despite it's delay, I'm still excited as ever for the release of the game.

According to Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter,

A new patch for Killzone: Shadow Fall has been released and it brings a bunch of new features and fixes, including the inclusion of a left handed control setup for any lefties out there finding it hard to play with the regular button layout. Guerrilla Games have also addressed a few other issues and made some changes to balancing in the game in both multiplayer and singleplayer. You can read the patch notes below:

• Several UI issues fixed
• Error messages in Multiplayer amended to have better indication of the error
• Edge-case crashes related to friends lists fixed
• Additional integrity fixes for the patching system

Guerrilla games have said that the patch should download and install automatically, but if you have problems with installing it, you'll receive an error message when trying to play in multiplayer. To fix the issue you'll need to reboot the PlayStation 4 to begin the installation progress. The new patch will also prevent errors
