Limited Edition Xbox 360 Controller

A controller with a D-Pad that doesn't suck! The limited edition controller has a re-designed D-Pad. It's a normal pad until you rotate it 90 degrees and it POPS-UP and becomes a 4 way directional with better feel then the 8 way directional that is sometimes clumsy.


The new controller will only be available bundled with the Play and Charge Kit starting Nov. 9 for $64.99. It will replace the existing controller available in the kit. It's wireless and the A,B, X, and Y buttons that are gray instead of the standard red, green, yellow, and blue; a concave design on the analog sticks; and a matte silver color.

"We've heard from the community that you're not big fans of the D-pad, so the engineers went back into the laboratory and came up with this ingenious solution," Larry Hryb, Xbox Live programming director, said in a video demo, "It is a revolutionary D-pad that transforms from a disc into a plus … with the twist of a hand."

I'll stop typing and let you watch the video.
