New 360 controller

[Salodin]

Idk, I kinda like it.

[Selamis]

That seems a little odd to me, looks weird. I've also never heard anyone I personally know complain about the 360 controller, so meh, not sure where the "We've heard from the community that you're not big fans of the D-pad" part comes from.

[Qalbert]

d-pad is by far the biggest complaint about it

[Atreides]

why didnt they keep the face button colors?

[Darus Grey]

Color blindness is more common than you'd think?

Only reason I can think of.

I was kinda expecting Microsoft to do something like this to pack in with the 360-S, rather than stand-alone months down the road.

Hope it does actually give a more responsive d-pad other than just changing its feel, as it was fucking horrible for precision-input games. On my pad, hitting right requires extra pressure to acknowledge, where-as on my bro's it is up.

Great, I just got a slim. Excellent timing Microsoft!
The D-pad is indeed fucking terrible, might be worth it for arcade titles if it's improved enough.

[Kiarax]

Every 360 controller I've got hasn't been too bad for the d-pad, one of my brothers controllers is awful at hitting left and right though. I guess I just got lucky. This is kind of a cool improvement but the price is fucking retarded. Instead of fixing the issue they're just capitalizing on it, kind of skanky.

Ugh. I should have known better than to try and read the comments on that article.

I actually liked the colored buttons, especially compared to the new grayscale look. I only hope this new turn dial d pad doesnt break easily. My biggest gripe was the angle the d pad is in which makes it so awkward to use, not the actual pad itself.

It's as dull and gray as the shooters that saturate its game library!

Nah, that's production. He made a point of saying they were rolling with the greyscale buttons.

I have four times as many 360 games as PS3 games bro

[Kerberoz]

I was under the impression that anyone serious about fighters bought a fight-stick anyway?

Why don't they just switch the d-pad back to where it was when they directly copied the dualshock? Legal issues? Thumbs in different positions = urgh..

[Korietsu]

They never copied the dualshock. Stick placement was always that way.

I... don't think I get it, what does turning the d-pad around do? I couldn't tell a difference, but he kept pointing, pulling it back, pointing, so I was just like, uh, idk
