There comes a time in the life of every girl gamer writing a blog where you have to make a choice. For many, the subject is Lara Croft's chest, but today, I'm stuck looking at this pink Xbox 360 controller. Am I happy that there's a pink 360 controller? Should I write about it? I'd never buy a pink 360 controller, but should I really resent it on principle, just because it looks like they were hoping some little girl would bedazzle (warning: link goes to annoying commercial) the damn thing? I must admit I'm torn.
(Note: I am in no way promoting Bedazzlers, and Bedazzling a 360 controller might well void the warranty. Please don't go buy a Bedazzler; they make me fear for the fate of girlkind.)

Personally my first thought when I saw that was: "Cool! They're going after gay gamers!" I know way more gay gamers who would appreciate it than I do girl gamers.
Yeah, I can dig that. I've got nothing against the boys who like boys who like joysticks, but I would've been pissed if someone gave me a pink controller as a child. Then again, I was the girl who cried when given a My Little Pony, just because had rhinestones on it. And like, hair. How could it possibly be a valiant steed of my Lego army with hot pink hair?
