http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/07/xbox-360-gold-controller.jpgRedesign notwithstanding, the Xbox 360 is clearly in its twilight years. Wouldn’t it be nice to give the system a retirement gift? Microsoft thinks so, as it just unveiled a stand-alone gold version of its Chrome Series controller. The wireless gamepad shares the same transforming D-pad as past special editions, but ups the flashiness by a factor of ten – and won’t require that you buy a Star Wars-themed console](Microsoft Star Wars Xbox 360 bundle coming to a galaxy close to here, April 3rd) at the same time. Microsoft ships the $55 gold controller worldwide this August, although it will only be available at a handful of stores, including GameStop and the Microsoft Store in the US.
