Xbox One controllers, headsets available for pre-order
Amazon also has the Xbox One controller available for pre-order, listed for a Wednesday, November 27 release, just one day before Thanksgiving. The Microsoft Store still has the "Day One" edition of the Xbox One console listed as being available in November. Whether Amazon's date holds up remains to be seen, but the controller is also available for pre-order at GameStop and Best Buy. Sony's DualShock 4 controller for the PlayStation 4 is also available for pre-order, and is also around $60.

1: If you don't throw your controller around while rage losing games, then your controller should last close to the life time of your console regardless, which isn't to say that somethings don't just wear down over time, but in most cases if treated well the 360 controller should have never been broken. Anyone who claims that they "wore out" in a few months or a year were throwing them on the ground/wall/door/dog in anger. Hey my roommates controllers never lasted longer than a few months either. I think he spent about $250-$350 a year just on new controllers... but he also always had holes in his walls too.
2: A "must have" headset? But you just claimed that the kinect would work perfectly for xbox live. More Microsoft BS. Doing what they can to make it look like your getting your money's worth when your going to have to cough up so much money compared to PS4. Lets compare
PS4: Your system operates without the PS Camera, giving you the option to go without it or buy it for some extra features. You also get a rechargeable battery in your controller with a charging cable and a headset for online gaming if you didn't have one already. Add in a year of PS+ at it is $450 total, $500 if you decide you want the camera.
XBONE: Your system will not function without the kinect, which adds around $100 extra bucks to what the system would have cost you if it could function without it. Now if you only want one controller and you don't want to spend hundreds on replacing normal AA batteries, you need to buy a $25 dollar charging kit cause Microsoft somehow couldn't fit a rechargeable batter in the hulking controller. Next, if you don't want to be the source of noise pollution to your XBONE Live Friends cause they have to listen to every single voice in your living room, you have to fork over another $25 on a cheaply made headset. Finally for your XBONe Live services you have to pay $60 a year. This makes your total cost $610.
PS4: $450 flat ($500 with camera)
PXBONE: $610

ExoticWolfsNinjaWizard Hope these controllers are sturdy
They said they will last a "lifetime." I don't think lifetime, but I think many many years.
They said something similar with the xbox 360 controllers, those wore out within a year.

-Mark I really hope someone makes an adapter so we can use or old headsets.
It's going to suck if we have to buy a new headset on top of the console.
They probably will, otherwise people will be angry

Ted- The Astro A40's better still be compatible
They should, as you only need a USB and a headphone jack.
