I remember some camera where people complained about a $50 difference or something it was ONCE on sale for - this was a $3000+ Sony A7 I think? Most folks it's semiprofessional use so is $50 to wait months even financially sound? No.
Same here, you save a bit, maybe $50 is the price it'll end up being, but the $40 or $45 price for the X/S controllers is gone for now. Maybe it's 3 months away again - why restrict yourself? If you wanna do couch co-op or peace of mind if your main controller's batteries die you have a back up - is $10 savings worth that?
If you truly are just wanting this for a collect dust on the shelf type back up in the event your dog eats the main controller, fine waiting for another $10 off might make sense. Do you really only want it because it's white instead of your other color controller and makes no difference in game play? Ok, wait.
Otherwise, rise above the bad mentality here of MUST BE LOWEST EVER FOR THIS DEAL TO BE A DEAL AND MATTER. It's a good price, ships reasonably fast, and from the maker of it - make yourself happy if you want.
I bought this for an easy pnp controller I could travel around with. If you are considering buying this, and have other controllers lying around that could be used instead, I would recommend somehow testing and handling the controller, maybe at a store (wear gloves lol) to see if you actually like it. Do not just assume, like me, it will instantly feel good in your hands based on previous experiences with MS controllers. No, the price is not that high, but if you don't enjoy what you buy then the price doesn't matter.

what if i wanted to donate 100 controllers to a children's hospital and can save $1000? i'm not, but just saying everyone's reasoning is different, so thanks but i'll wait, it's not "insane" to save money

Also, if you're donating to kids hospitals... I'd either cut out a few controllers so they can have some or just bite the bullet on spending more - those kids are on borrowed time. They can't wait for a BF deal!
I'm happy to be done with 360 controllers after 15 years. They're trash. But gimme a cool edition and I'm in! I can wait. I'm patient. If 2% inflation doesn't outstrip my patience
