Yeah you read that title right. Gamestop is offering a limited edition Lightning Returns Dualshock Playstation 3 controller. The controller will be priced at $59.99 and available on February 11th 2014 to go along with the release of Lightning Returns.

The controller itself shows a blue lightning design with the Lightning Returns emblem showing on the buttons with the 13 day clock featured on the d-pad. If you didn't know, Lightning Returns itself is based on that 13 day format. You only have 13 days to save the world/finish the game. Now when that timer mocks you with its constant countdown you can mash your fingers into it in retaliation.

Normal limited edition goodies are good but this is a good you can actually use! Who's interested?

but I have an Xbox 360

[Freya]

me too

I... would not pay $60 for that

I have the 13 series on 360 but I'd buy the controller for my PS3. I might just go check it out when it comes out.

[DMKA]

It's pretty, but no way will I drop $60 for it when I have two perfectly functioning PS3 controllers that will do the exact same thing. :P

Now THIS is a controller I would pay $60.00 for.

I... would not pay $60 for that

Why not? That's roughly what a regular DS3 controller costs in retail stores. If you need a controller anyway, why not this one?

[Jiro]

yeah if I needed another controller I'd pick that up. It's nothing too amazing but nice to have controllers that are non standard anyway

[Mirage]

Now that I think about it, I kind of actually do need a new DS3. I have three PS3 controllers, but one is a sixaxis, one is a DS3 that is about to fall apart, and one is a DS3 that is in good shape. You can't be a self respecting gamer without two decent DS3s, can you?

Because I don't want it? I have no intention of playing the game, I already have two controllers, so I'm not about to spend $60 on a controller that I don't need for a game I probably won't play for at least a few years, if ever :P

[Mirage]

That's all fine, but you initially made it sound like you didn't want it mainly because of the price tag.

[Skyblade]

Is the DS3 compatible with the PS4? Or is this controller PS3 only?

[Del Murder]

It's kind of ugly to me. Also it's about $15-$25 more expensive than a regular controller depending on where you buy it.

[Psychotic]

The clockface around the D-Pad is awesome, the blue lightning decal less so.

"If you didn't know, Lightning Returns itself is based on that 13 day format. You only have 13 days to save the world/finish the game."

Are you smurfing kidding me? What open world game has EVER had a time restraint in order to beat it? That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
