Epic has announced that it will release a Limited Edition Xbox 360 controller for Gears of War 3. It will be styled after the series and include the transforming d-pad found in recent limited editions.

The controller will actually include five weapon skins as DLC. The Limited Edition Xbox 360 controller will match the design of the Limited Edition Xbox 360 console release.

The Gears of War 3 Limited Edition Xbox 360 controller will release in August 2011.
