Topic: Xbox 360 Controller Redesigned Posted: 08-22-2008 at 4:44pm |

A subtly redesigned Xbox 360 controller has been spotted on the showroom floor at this year's Games Convention in Leipzig, sporting a new-feel d-pad that addresses the previously unresponsive and spongy model. While aesthetically identical to the previous controller, the d-pad has been re-engineered to offer more instant control, with an eight way input taking place of the previous four. A brief hands-on with the controller playing Pro Evolution 2009 proved that the redesign has been effective, with the d-pad sitting in a larger rocker and proving more tactile. It's expected to release at the same time as this year's Pro Evolution Soccer, and the re-design is thought to have been inspired by the imminent release of Street Fighter IV. We'll have photos of the new controller - though don't expect to see the difference - and further impressions later on. |

That's great news. I love the Xbox controller but hate the D-pad. Luckily it's not used much anymore.
