Microsoft's ever-expanding line-up of special edition Xbox wireless controllers has increased yet again, this time with the new transparent blue Sky Cipher - which (as well as looking like something straight out of the 90s, when tech wasn't worth a jot if it wasn't at least partially see-through) also heralds the introduction of new eco-friendly controller packaging. Of course, a new Xbox controller reveal wouldn't be the same without at least some attempt to sex up what's very much just more of the same in a different colour, and the Sky Cipher Special Edition - with its metallic innards visible through blue plastic - is described as "exuding an aura of sophistication and futuristic appeal." If you've always dreamed of being able to stare at the innards of your Xbox controller while it vibrates alluringly in your hand, the Sky Cipher Special Edition will be available from 13th August and costs £64.99/$69.99 USD.
