Red Xbox One controller set to hit stores on January 10

If crimson is your color of choice, Microsoft has a new Xbox One Wireless Controller on the way that should be rather appealing. Sporting a couple of different bloody shades on its front and rear, the new red Xbox Wireless Controller is available for pre-order now with a release date set for January 10.

Following up on the release of other colors with thrilling names like Dawn Shadow and blue, the red controller is available for $64.99 and features a pretty distinct color scheme. Of course, you could get a fairly close approximation of this controller's design using the Xbox Design Lab{.nofollow}. However, the new red model is not only cheaper (by around $15), but it also features a shade of red on the rear and buttons that simply isn't available in the lab.

If you're interested, you can pre-order the red controller now from both Microsoft and GameStop. Curiously, GameStop is claiming the controller is exclusive to its store despite its appearance at the Microsoft Store.
