    Backbone gives Master Chief an upgrade.

    Following the Xbox-branded Backbone One controller that launched earlier this year, the Backbone Pro is getting a similar translucent green facelift. The $179.99 Backbone Pro Xbox Edition is available today with the same functionality as the standard Pro including Bluetooth connectivity, but adds Xbox-specific buttons and shortcuts.

    <em>The Backbone Pro Xbox Edition features the same green tint as the </em>Halo <em>version of the original Xbox Controller S.</em>
    <em>The controller expands to accommodate phones of various sizes, but it can also be used on its own as a wireless Bluetooth controller.</em>
