For those who are familiar with the PDP TRON Controllers, the company has recently unveiled the final release that will see gaming devices dressed as the sci-fi flick.

The new PDP TRON Controllers will be the final collectors edition for the [Xbox 360](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperkin) and [Playstation 3](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rpcs3-overlay) console. This time, the design inspiration is drawn from Gem, which is a Siren Program off the film’s sequel. It’s dressed in a pearl color with smoky gray handles complete with a slick [crystal white lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8bitdo-64-controller) to accent the rest of the design. Around the side are rubberized grip for control and each controller will have vibration support for effect.

These controllers are on an extremely limited run. There will only be 800 pieces made for both versions of the controller.
