Emily_June Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I've been told that I'm seeing things. I don't believe that. For a while, I always took it for granted that the original (fat) xbox controller was black. I never even considered it was anything other. Recently, I noticed that in certain lights, mainly direct sunlight, it appears to be a very dark green. This is also true of the Live communicator plug-in. I'm just curious if anyone else has happened to notice this, so that I can put some naysayer in their place....or maybe see an optometrist. I'm well aware this thread is quite asinine to most people, but I figured this would be as good a place as any to seek out a public opinion.
