Let that sink in for a little bit.

Every time I think I'm finished throwing poo at this console they hand me a bowl of Weetabix and a carton of f**king prune juice.

A controller is a step up from Sony's "Exclusive Skins".

Wonder how much Gamerscore it carrys? and if this will become a thing? accessories coming with achievements?

I believe this is being misquoted, and it is actually one of their new "Challenges" - time based objectives, that don't carry Gamerscore.

EDIT: Important text from article below: (emphasis mine)

There are now two types of Achievements: achievements and challenges. An achievement is probably already familiar. There’s a goal or activity you must accomplish and a reward that you receive upon completion. You can unlock an achievement at any time, be it on a game’s launch day or 3 years later. I guess you can say an achievement is like a promise in that sense. A challenge, on the other hand, is more like an opportunity – better grab it while you can! It is also comprised of a goal and a reward; however, challenges are time-bound (as in, real life time). That means you can only unlock during its eligible time window, and if you get close but don’t complete the goal when it ends… *Kanye shrug*

Achievements and challenges are both officially considered Xbox Live Achievements
