Xbox One controllers will cost $59.99, Microsoft has confirmed (via Kotaku). That's a $10 increase over Xbox 360 controllers, and the same price as a DualShock 4.
The console comes with one controller in the box, of course. However, you'll have to pony up the dough if you want additional controllers, as Xbox 360 controllers will not work with Xbox One. At least we quite enjoyed our hands-on time with the next-gen controller.
As with Xbox 360, Xbox One controllers will use AA batteries. However, Microsoft will sell a separate Play and Charge Kit for gamers that want an integrated rechargeable solution. It costs $24.99--$5 more than the current-gen version.
The Xbox One headset has also been priced. It will be available for $24.99 and won't be included in the box due to Kinect's built-in microphones.

there is an awful lot of technology in modern game controllers.
-
also if you want to save money, there are always third-party controllers, which usually average $10-20 less, but they're never as responsive, the sticks never feel right, and they usually have shoddier build quality.

Tomorrow Sony announces that the DualShock 4 will actually cost $49.99! lol

Yes. DualShock 4 also has a standard headphone jack at the bottom, so you can plug in whatever headset you want.

I know, that is why I said "will actually cost" I was implying they would change their mind to 1 up Microsoft again

Ya know, this shouldn't be a surprise when you consider all the patent lawsuits from the last several years (vibration patent, wireless patent, gyro patent, etc). They're having to pay more money for these licenses going forward and now they've passed that expense to us. That is in addition to standard stuff like bluetooth licensing, and such.
-
ok it costs the same as PS4, but without a integrated rechargeable battery pack? ah Microsoft....
-
-
Yeah, and you can have back-up charged batteries if you have a charger, like I do for my Wii and my wireless mouse.

Swapping out for a pair of new Eneloops into the controller and goes into the charger > having a cable
-
-
agreed, but it's an extra expense. you either have to buy a play & charge kit, or rechargeable batteries.

Another thing that sucked too about the PS3 was they took away recharging via USB while the system was off. So you can only charge the PS3 controller when the system is on or use something else (PC, AC adapter, etc).
The 360 was nice that you can plug in to one of its ports to charge when you shut it down.

There's no such thing. You're either interrupted to swap batteries, or because your controller died and you have to plug in, or because you have to go bring the cable from where you normally charge controllers to where you're sitting, or you have to swap controllers entirely because your charge cable isn't long enough.
IMO, swapping pre-charged batteries >>>>>> cable and integrated battery.-
Huge internal battery>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>crappy 3rd party battery that lasts 6 hours
Also a very long usb cable is still far cheaper then the rechargable batteries.

I can't believe they are still pulling that bs...
-
I actually like that I can pull the battery from the Xbox controller. Even when the controller is off it's still in vampire mode, so it's bleeding off the battery slowly. Pulling the battery stops that and extends the time between recharge/replace. And, with the next system having Kinect being all but built-in, using hand motions to control the ui would mean even less battery drain.
Ya, it's minor, but it just sucks having to burn through batteries. I was surprised how fast I burned through my first charge and play kit. Was pissed that there wasn't a good warranty on the battery.-

I read that if you bought those expensive fighter cabinet sticks they will NOT work on the XBone but will work on the PS4. I have the SF4 edition and the MK9 stick...together those cost $300.

The controller definitely isn't; I think it's still connecting via Microsoft's proprietary "Wi-Fi Direct", and Microsoft hasn't said anything official about running an XBox One controller on a PC. There was the "XBox 360 Controller for Windows", but that was a separate SKU, and for it to work both on a PC and 360, you had to get that specific SKU.
Compare with the PS3 controller, which connects via Bluetooth, but didn't have an official driver (but that didn't stop a bunch of people from hacking together drivers for both USB and Bluetooth).
Even though there are rumble royalties and proprietary tech involved, I think it's a dumb mess. It's a controller. Let it control stuff.-
the xbox 360 controller for windows is literally an xbox 360 controller with a wireless receiver. you can use any 360 controller with any windows PC.

The Xbox One controller won't support the use of third party headsets like Astro's, Turtle Beaches, and Tritton.
