New Xbox Controller Announced
An update on news about the new Xbox 360 controller: The new pad will be out on November 9 in the US – where it will cost $64.99 – and February 2011 in Europe.
“The Xbox 360 Wireless Controller with Play & Charge Kit – with Transforming D-pad will be available beginning early 2011 in the UK,” said a spokesperson. As rumoured earlier users can change the new Xbox 360 controller’s directional pad from a flat surface to an actual raised d-pad with a twist of the base. One second it’s flat, the next it’s beautifully raised. It is also featuring a grey and white colour scheme, taking out the coloured buttons of the previous pad and making it all a bit monochrome.
The format holder has improved the D-pad in the past. It released a Limited Edition Pro Evolution Soccer-themed controller back in 2008. Maybe we’re getting a controller for every genre. Who knows? Improvements are always welcomed, and these new controllers will be available on GamingZap.com on release.
