Yeah, same here. I preordered both the Wii and PS3 Tron controllers a while back and it keeps getting pushed back. Why are they limiting the release? Make more already! Sheesh

GameStop online has it on backorder, any store that had them is likely sold out. I pre-ordered one on amazon.com on Nov 5th and it's listed release date has been changed *twice* and my order status say my estimated delivery date is Dec 2nd, when before it was Nov. 17 then it changed to November 26th. I hope I still get my order shipped out to me and soon...

actually i walked into my local gamestop today and they had 5 ps3 controllers and didnt have the xbox one so they called another local store that said they had one so i went there and they had em in. Havent seen the Wii version in stores yet tho

I've collected all three systems controllers, this is a really impressive line for collectors.

As mentioned it's limited to 20,000 per run. Each controller comes with a numbered metallic sticker on the back, and the box that they come in is really nice too. It has a magnetic shut lid with a window to the full controller, and underneath is a certificate of authenticity.

The controllers themselves are really nice too. Usually 3rd party controllers aren't really that great for a gamer, but these are all almost 1st party quality. In order I'd say the Wii is the best, with the 360 a close second and the PS3 last (but still great.)

All of them have a soft molded plastic grip that is very comfortable. For the Wii this means that it doesn't need one of the wii-condoms, the controller is great right out of the box. Even the battery compartment is made out of a really soft rubber cover. The Wii version is also the only wireless TRON controller. Both the PS3 and 360 versions unfortunately are wired, but the cords are 6 feet long. And honestly it's good to have a wired controller on hand in case you run out of batteries (and some people swear there is less lag in fps.)

The lights on the controllers are all really bright and impressive. The glow is hypotizing, honestly. For the 360 and PS3 the sticks are a little looser than 1st party, but are very accurate and seem to hold up. Buttons are also very close to 1st party quality. The control pad doesn't feel all that great, but it's probably more functional than the 1st party 360 controller at least.

In case you can't tell I really like this line. There are a few faults that make it less than perfect. The wires on the 360 and PS3 don't work for everyone. It would be nice if there was a good matching nunchuck for the Wii version. It would be nice if the Wii version had Motion+ included. But other than that the are really fun. Forgot to mention each controller has a light up TRON logo on it's face. It makes me sad that I didn't get an orange one (limited to 250 for 360 only.) I enjoy the line so much I might have to just bite the bullet and grab one.

There is one review on Amazon that questions the quality, but I've had several controllers so far and every one has been great. I've handled probably 8 of the 360 ones, 4 of the wii and only a couple of the PS3 ones.

One great thing about the 360 versions I forgot to mention is that they work on Windows/PC right out of the box basically. If you use Vista or Windows 7 you can use this controller on your PC. I haven't tested mine to see if the lights work but it's USB power one would assume it works just like on 360. My 360 setup isn't great for wired controllers and actually I needed a longer cord, so I bought a $2 USB extension cable on Amazon, works flawlessly and I can wrap the wire around my TV and not block my view at all.

Really happy with this line. Like I said, the controllers are near 1st party quality, I've been gaming since the NES days and know how hard it can be to find a good quality controller. I haven't really bought a 3rd party controller since the PS1 days since they are universally worse. These are actually really good gaming controllers, on top of being amazing collectors pieces. Like I said I'm hoping to get an orange one and will have to pay a lot just for that privilege. Probably won't play with it too often but will definitely display it with a blue one

Forgot to mention the Wii controller comes with a TRON colored wrist strap, it's black with a blue racing stripe alongside, really nice touch


edit: Great, thanks for confirming that And I'm glad someone else likes the controller. I think they are near must have for TRON collectors who are gamers.
