New Xbox 360 controller with twisted Dpad

[xGhost]

Microsoft has announced a redesigned Xbox 360 wireless controller.

The new gamepad will debut in a matte silver color with gray-toned face buttons and analog sticks with a more dramatic concave shape.

Key to the new design is a "transforming" D-pad that changes from a semi-flush disc to a pop-out plus sign by twisting the D-pad clockwise.

Microsoft offers this suggestion for how you might use the two D-pad configurations:

"Select the traditional plus for distinct cardinal direction movement in games like Halo: Reach to change weapons and perform complicated combinations and deadly finishing moves in Street Fighter games, or rotate the D-pad to the disc format for sweeping motions in games such as Pro Evolution Soccer 2011."

The redesigned controller will only be available with the Play & Charge Kit.

The bundle will launch on November 9 for $64.99 in the US.

I think I might buy this when it comes out. Maybe not though, doesn't really look like a great innovation especially for the amount of money it costs.
