New Xbox 360 Controller – Coming Soon

What goes great with a brand new Xbox 360 you ask, a brand new beefed up version of your classic xbox 360 controller I say. Microsoft confirmed today that as of November 9th their newly remodelled controller will be available with a play and charge kit for $64.99. Some note worthy features that have been upgraded go as follows.

- A sleek new grey matte finish to match appropriately with the new console.

- Button colour has been changed to a grey scale

- The analog sticks have been reworked with more of a concave feel and design.

- *With a simple twist of the d-pad you can take the buttons from the current disc like style, too more of a classic old school d-pad feel*

Definitely not reinventing the wheel on this one, but all of these features will be well received by consumers, and its always nice to get new shiny things.

Update: The D- pad is still using the same pivot technology, but it just feels better to have the + section raised, patent issues are the reason for a totally renewed D-pad
