Microsoft New Zealand have issued the following press release detailing the new Xbox 360 wireless controller due to go on sale soon:

Get ready to smoke your opponents on Xbox with the new fiery red Wireless Controller with added ‘go-faster’ black strip. This hot little number will be winging its ways into stores just in time for the Kiwi sizzling summer.

You can experience wireless gaming from up to 10 metres and enjoy uninterrupted play with the included Play & Charge cable and red rechargeable battery, which provides up to 25 hours of play on a single charge. Additionally, when the battery runs low, you’re given ample warning so you can connect the included Play & Charge cable for continuous play.

Another great thing about the red controller is that you can pick it up on November 7th – the Gears of War 2 release day. The Xbox 360 Limited Edition Red Wireless Controller and Play & Charge Kit with red rechargeable battery now come together in a never before available colour and is priced at $99.95 (RRP).
