I would like to know if they are able to buy those Xbox controllers from Best Buy or do they have to get them from procurement which is probably going to be mean they're going to be $500 a piece

I think it is time for Microsoft to increase the price of the old 360 controller to $10K. They wouldn't want to put the other defense contractors at a disadvantage...

Just like when we go buy our tickets on orders from Carlson Wagonlit Travel and they are three times the price or least when I went to Hawaii from Canada the ticket was three times the price of what I could have got a ticket to take my wife and child.

Well that's a move up from the floppy disks the Air Force uses with ICBMs
