Xbox One Elite Controller Has "Exceeded Our Planning," Microsoft Says
Speaking with fans on Twitter, Spencer revealed demand of the controller have “has exceeded planning,” which means the controller may no longer be in stock at your local retailer.
“We are working to get more in stock, sorry they’ve been so hard to find,” he said. “It’s tough as I don’t want to over promise. If you find one and you want it, pick it up, sorry.”
Early last month, Microsoft said stock of the $150 Xbox One Elite Controller would hit retailers weekly through November, but “supplies may be limited” until early December.
The controller is available through third-party sellers on Amazon, with a high markup obviously. Amazon noted that “due to high customer demand,” orders shipped from and sold by the company placed now are “unlikely to be delivered until Spring 2016.”
It is also sold out through GameStop’s online store and when we checked stock with our local stores, there wasn’t one available within a 100 mile radius.

Once this controller hits $80 or maybe even $90 will I even consider purchasing it. At the time though, it's way too expensive, and it baffles me how many people are buying it at its current price.

UZl I was looking for one a while back and they were all sold out. Hopefully it goes down in price but i doubt it
It definitely will eventually, how long nobody knows. It would have been nice if they were released before Black Friday or Cyber Monday, then pick them up at a discount, but they probably waited until after purposely.

I'm lucky to have grabbed the last one in a Argos store. (UK) Searched within a 200 mile radius of stores this was the only one. And if your thinking about getting one it's worth it. I love it.

I've always been interested in these since the announcement of them, unfortunately I don't have the funds for one right now =[
