Microsoft shows off new controller, with transforming D-pad

[SC_408]

From this..

To this..

The D-pad on the existing 360 controllers is, to put it mildly, utter garbage. If you want to play any games relying on precise movements, such as fighting games, buying a third-party controller is a requirement. Microsoft hopes it has this problem licked, however, and is releasing a controller with a new, updated D-pad on November 9. The catch? You won't be able to buy the controller alone; you'll need to grab the Play and Charge Kit to get it, and the final cost will be $64.99.

I need a new battery, but I don't need a new controller that much.


I'll wait until they start selling just the controller, not the bundle.
