I bought it with the current offer at 119€. LOT 2127. So far, I haven't had any issues compared to what I've read (they say the 1943 batch is faulty). The build quality seems top-notch with an incredible grip, it's heavier than the regular controller by 40g, 308g for the regular one with batteries and 348g for this one, something that can be felt in the hand. What I really liked is the immediate adjustment in trigger travel and the hardness that can be increased or decreased on the thumbsticks. The whole philosophy of the controller is to offer the features that the Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers had!!! Meaning, you can put the rubber grips from the Xbox 360 on the thumbsticks and adjust the hardness just like the Xbox 360 controller! This allows all users to customize and adapt the controller with the features of two of the best controllers ever released, the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

The case is beautiful and practical, it's great that you can charge the controller while it's inside. So far, it's the best controller with the best ergonomics I've ever held. Its battery simply never runs out. Now let's talk about the price, I believe that even though it's superior to the regular one, the triple price doesn't justify it. Its price should be around 100-120€ at most.

I also want to highlight the amazing after-sales service of Microsoft! I registered the controller on my account and instead of giving me one year of warranty, they gave me 7 months. I contacted the service directly via chat, they asked for the purchase receipt which I sent them via email, and they extended the warranty from 7 months to 24 hours!!! For now, I would give it 5/5 stars with the reservation of any future problems it might have. I would definitely deduct one star due to the price if I had bought it for 180€, but since I got it for 119€, I don't consider this price excessive considering the quality and accessories it offers.

edit1: 25/09/23 I'm coming back after 1+ year to give feedback. Well, the controller started having issues with the RB and LB buttons, sometimes they register twice or don't register at all, and the X button stopped registering. The funny thing is that I haven't "abused" it at all compared to the regular one that came with the console, which I have used extensively and even mishandled, including dropping it multiple times, yet the regular one hasn't had any issues while the Elite "fell apart" with minimal and careful use. So, it doesn't matter which batch it is, they all have problems, and despite that, Microsoft seems indifferent about it, and I say this because there are three of us in the group who bought from the latest batches, and all three of them have failed. So, 3 out of 3. Also, it seems that the 2-year warranty is given to all Microsoft controllers in the EU.

edit2: 12/10/23 I sent the controller for repair, it took 17 days for it to go and come back. They sent me the same one since it has the same serial number, although I don't know what else they might have fixed internally. They fixed the buttons that had issues, but in a weird way, the left thumbstick doesn't have a smooth feeling when you don't have the attachment on top, and the left vibration makes more noise than before. When you make 360-degree rotational movements with the thumbstick, you feel that the movement is not smooth and it's like it's "stuttering" internally. I called the service again and sent it back. Although I have mentioned multiple times the new issue with the phone, I have the feeling that they will turn it around again with the same problem. I will update regarding the 3rd edit.

edit3: 01/11/23 Okay, the controller came back and it seems to be working as it should (until the next time I send it again! lol). Also, regardless of the good service that MS has, when they return the controller from the service, they also delete the registration of the controller in your MS Account. The result is that when you try to register it again immediately, the controller shows as out of warranty and every time you have to speak to support and send them the receipt again to fix it! Obviously, this only happens to us in the EU, where the controller has a 2-year warranty.

In conclusion, although the controller is "top gun," I would not recommend it to anyone due to the quality construction issues it has.

In the ++++
Amazing screen with vibrant colors and brightness.
Soc that doesn't understand anything.
Abundant memory and proper management by the operating system.
Very fast and customizable to the point of "sickness" and without serious UI bugs.
Incredibly fast charging.
Good cameras for the price range of the phone, which become even better with gcam.
Crystal clear calls with excellent sound quality.
Excellent feel and touch with Vigan Leather.
Instant Bluetooth connection with no slightest bug or freeze.
Immediate unlocking with the excellent fingerprint sensor integrated into the screen.
Ideal size in hand without going overboard.

In the ------
The factory-installed screen protector is a dust magnet.
I don't see the Edge Lighting working.
The battery won't last a day for heavy users (with regular use, it lasts me 1.5 days), but this is compensated by the ridiculously fast charging.
The AI for automatic brightness needs work, as it works perfectly during the day but drastically lowers the brightness at night.

The headphones are amazing for what they offer for the price they ask. Awesome sound quality and very good bass, instant connectivity with the console as well as any other Bluetooth supported device. You can have 2 devices connected at the same time and listen, on the console and either pc-tablet-mobile etc.
The build quality is impeccable, the Volume -+ on the right headphone is everything since you no longer need to go into menus to adjust the volume if you had headphones that didn't have this feature before.
The battery surprised me, here I should note that they come from the factory with an empty battery, which means they need to be connected with a cable the first time, otherwise they won't turn on. Also, as soon as they are connected to the console, they will do a firmware update. I charged the headphones for 25 minutes, played for 4 hours and they still showed that they had power, they hadn't gone red. MS says that with half an hour of charging they give you 4 hours of gameplay, and with a full charge that takes about 3 hours, they give you 15 hours of uninterrupted gameplay. Flawless.
In terms of ergonomics and comfort, for my taste they are simply perfect and they don't tire me even after 5 hours of continuous gameplay.
Also, like every Xbox controller, when you press the central button, the console automatically turns on, so here there is this feature with the headphones as well. There is only one issue there, if you want to use it on a device other than the console and you go to turn it on, it will automatically turn on the console as well. For now, until they do a firmware update and put a power button for this feature, what you can do is unpair them, desynchronize them from the console before turning it off.
Honest and absolute value for the money for those looking for build quality, perfect connectivity, wireless connection, ergonomics and autonomy in a package for €99.

Masterpiece.
Game station.
Epic.
The best game of all time for me, and I've been playing games since 1990.
Everyone who considers themselves a serious gamer should have it in their collection.
Regardless of whether it has the best graphics and animations, as well as the best and most vibrant world ever created in an open world sandbox game, it is the story and the protagonist's journey towards redemption that elevates the experience, shatters bones, and breaks hearts in a story that contains everything. Incredible characters with tremendous depth that make you bond with them, amazing dialogues and lines that make Hollywood writers run to hide in their caves.
I had heard that the first part has been hailed as one of the best games of all time by many journalists in the industry and channels, unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to play it because I didn't have a console back then, the good thing is that those who haven't played the first one don't mind because the second one is a prequel to the first and continues the story where it left off in the second.
Rockstar, that's all.

Title that touches perfection without exaggeration. I found it on sale at Plaisio for 15€.
I haven't dealt with any other AC and I read many who criticize the fact that the series has deviated from the spirit of the previous titles by adding many RPG elements, but I got hooked on the game, something I never imagined.
The game's setting in Ancient Egypt is unique, the map, if you get both expansions, is literally endless with unique design and unprecedented emphasis on even the smallest detail. I have never seen such a setting and such a portrayal of the world in a game, the cities are truly enormous and bustling with life, vast deserts, endless paths through canyons and mountains, endless sea, caravans and ships constantly coming and going, creating a unique transportation network that in turn makes the world even more realistic. What can one mention first? In every new area I go to, I constantly say to myself, "What have these people created???" of course, referring to the creators at Ubisoft!!
The graphics are incredible (xbox1x), the textures are very detailed, the rendering of water, mountains, and the character itself with the costumes they wear is unique. Sometimes when you're riding a horse and there's a quick change of environment, you'll notice that some textures take a while to load, something that doesn't really ruin the game's visuals and I believe it has to do with the hardware since it's a very heavy game. But where the game truly shines is in the animations and the parkour that the character attempts! It's the best thing that has come out in a game, there is no point that the character cannot climb, from the smallest wall to the tallest mountain.
The sound is very nice without being tiring. The Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) has some issues, for example, while you're in battle with an enemy that has spotted you, another enemy 20-30m below doesn't notice what's happening next to him. The missions are endless without personally saying that they have tired me or that they become repetitive. They are literally endless. I have completed about 70% of the game with 62% completion and I have recorded 75 hours of gameplay with the two major expansions untouched yet.
As expected, I bought Odyssey without a second thought and it's waiting on the shelf until I finish this one. With rumors talking about the next setting of AC taking place in the era of the Vikings, it will be purchased without much thought.
