The Xbox 360′s New Official Controller Is a Transformer [Xbox 360]

So, that new-and-improved Xbox 360 controller ? It’s real . It’s silver. And the d-pad transforms, switching from the Xbox’s traditional, kinda crappy disc to a good-to-goodness four-directional d-pad-all you’ve gotta do is twist it. Now for the bad news.

It’s only available as element of a $65 play-and-charge kit bundle that comes out Nov. 9. Booooo. Even the alternative improvements, like comfier triggers, don’t add up to that type of value in a forced bundle. That said, it sort of feels like we won’t see this in other controllers, since Major Nelson mentions that Microsoft has patented the crap out of it. The $64000 test is how it performs in real life-is it actually a neater d-pad? We’ll must see.

But seriously, why didn’t they include this inside the new Xbox? [ Major Nelson ]
