Microsoft recently revealed a new transparent Xbox controller, the Sky Cipher Special Edition, and It's now available to preorder at Amazon for $69.99, with a release date of August 13.
It's a quick turnaround, but with the immediate popularity of the new controller, securing your preorder now could be the best way to ensure you aren't missing out. Amazon has a preorder price guarantee, so you'll pay the lowest price possible between now and release, and the online retailer won't charge you until the controller ships in a couple of weeks.

The new controller features a blue design that's complimented by metallic features, silver interior parts that shine through the transparent shell, alongside rubberized grips on the back case.
It's reminiscent of the 20th Anniversary design that Xbox revealed a few years back, but this time with a much more colorful shell that's even more of a call back to the OG Xbox era.
Embracing the nostalgia of past console generations, Microsoft's video introducing the new transparent controller kicks off with the original Xbox boot-up animation. It begs the question: could a transparent console be in their plans for the future?
Outside of SDCC, the world of gaming has quite a few more offerings to check out. At the moment, PlayStation's holding its Back to School sale and there are some excellent deals included that you don't want to miss out on. In particular, the PVSR 2 has hit an all-time low price of $349.
If you've been itching to play with this high-quality headset (which we gave a 9/10 in our PSVR 2 review), there's no better opportunity to do so.
That's not all, though. The PS5 Slim Disc and Digital consoles are marked down to $449 and $399, respectively. We likely won't see deals on these again until Black Friday, so now's a great time to pick them up. On top of that, you can also score discounts on a variety of PS5 games right now, with some down to $30.
