i get it but its still lame as hell

No, because the development costs of printing on a XBOX controller outweighs the potential profit from releasing an XBOX controller, and PlayStation is probably paying SCUF too. Companies think about this stuff, it's PS only for a reason.

so they could at least make it available for who ever wants to buy it

Too cheap ,they should raise the price.
Because movie Bumblebee merch is extremely rare.

Pretty sure there's a lot of third party DualShock 4s that have the diagonal analog sticks. I personally hate that placement, though.

You mean all of us here at TFW?
Last I checked, throwing money at toys is not really a very wise adult move, TBH.

I've been using the xbox pro controller for a couple years now, very similar to a scuf. Once you get used to the paddles its hard to go back. I can't play a fps or third person shooter anymore without one. I have a ps4 just for exclusives and I've been fighting not to get a scuf for the ps4, since it's not my main playing console. I keep thinking how much better spider-man would be with paddles. I'd probably get this if I didn't have to pre-order the movie.

Does it transform?
Only kidding…

Yeah, the type of consumer that likes to throw money away on dumb shit.
Of course they are welcome to do it, but I will never understand the motivation. I'm not talking about the extra buttons, just the need to own a controller (or anything) painted up with some unrelated IP garbage.
Unless the extra buttons are what makes it $200….

There's a reason there's only 500, it's meant for a very specific type of consumer.

I currently use a Scuf PS4 controller and love it. The extra paddles that can be mapped to any button make it great. That's the main draw to these Scuf controllers, they're not just a fancy looking controller, but allow customization of several buttons for better game play. If I didn't just buy mine a couple months ago, I'd be all over this. Still trying to tell myself I don't need it though.

I've never understood the desire for pointless expensive exclusive cross-sells like this. A $200 BB PS4 controller. OK then, have fun, I'll just keep my standard one thanks.

It's only 500, there are definitely 500 people willing to pay that much for an exclusive luxury product (I think it looks crappy though TBH). If it was a mass market item, I'd be irked by the price, but it isn't.
InstantClazzic
Yeah for one 200 is way to much for a 50-60 dollar controller not to mention you have to pre order a 25 dollar movie.

Annnnd just like Hasbro Toy Shop was, Hasbro Pulse is, Neca seems to be along with many other things over the last few years it seems – "Only available for people in North America".
Genuinely starting to feel like all of these companies have forgotten there is a rest of the world

Simple question of what will make more money. There are orders of magnitude more PS4s out there than Xbox Ones.

You have to preorder the Bumblebee movie and get a code via email first? Then you can purchase for $199. These Vantage controllers are actually pretty sick. I have 1 and use it all the time. Much better than standard ps4 controller

They're saving it for the switch version

What is up with those shoulder buttons? If you're gonna flat out mimic the xbox controller, why put the shoulder buttons in such a non functional place? Nice deco but yeesh. That price is bananas.
