Microsoft has announced a matching Xbox One controller and stereo headset coming soon to Xbox One.

The pair, which offers, "a modern camouflage pattern and military look," is available for pre-order now. You can head here for the controller and here for the headset. The former is $64.99 and the latter is $89.99 and they will be available later this year in October.

Soon it will be time to put together a feature similar to this one detailing special edition Xbox 360 controllers, for Xbox One controllers. We've already seen a special edition Titanfall controller.

Do veterans get discounts? That'd be pretty groovy. Well, not for meme; I'm not one. But for veterans... Yeah.

Pft, how about a portion of the sale goes to veterans charity? I'd consider it then.

Looks cool, but I think it would look better with the digie camo pattern.

Hmm, this would probably go pretty well with the Master Chief Collection this fall, and I'm looking for both an extra controller and headset. I'll keep an eye on this.

Definitely a buy for me.

I still need a good Xbox One headset, so I'll have to keep my eye on this.

Looks gorgeous.. if I ever need a 3rd or 4th controller, this is it.

This is good news. I've been looking for a new Xbox One controller. The buttons on my Day One controller seem a little sticky. I can't tell if I need a new controller or if they're just getting broke in. I've been waiting for the rumored Sunset Overdrive controller so I may hold off for now.

Is this an attempt to unalienate the people they originilly tried to alienate by making it always needing the internet? This was why I was initially upset when going over seas meant not playing their new system.

I predict sales somewhere in the 10 jillion range. Its dispicable how profitable war is.

That's neat, but still waiting on that white xbox they promised to give consumers. If it's not out by holiday season, looks like I'm not getting one as planned, Halo collection or not.

Bundle them together for $125 and I am in

not a huge fan of this. I do wish I had the titan fall controler but it came out after I Already bought a second controler.

Do any of the American armed forces even use this pattern? Or for that matter any armed forces that isn't North Korea? Nope? Should be digital.
