Current-gen controllers are pretty expensive as the tech used to create them continues to advance. You don't need to pay through the nose to get something pretty cool though, especially if you do your gaming on Xbox or Nintendo Switch.

The Green Hill Zone controller has the iconic level in the background with a Sonic figurine encased in the controller's left grip. On the opposite side is a Chopper, the mechanical fish that have been leaping out of Green Hill's lush blue waters in an attempt to thwart Sonic since the very first game.

Both controllers are $40 through the PDP website and various other retailers, releasing in December but available for pre-order through the links below.
