Microsoft Unveils Sole 360 Controller With New D-Pad

[Double_0_negative]

The Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless controller always appears to need an update here and there. It seems that Microsoft has done just that by revealing a new controller with monochrome buttons and a transforming d-pad. That's right, a transforming directional pad; what say you?

According to Major Nelson, the controller's d-pad can be raised by twisting the base of it, and as a result allowing it to go from a disc to a plus. Why would you need this? I'm not exactly sure, but some people are not happy playing with the current d-pad.

In addition, the new controller packs concave analog sticks and new monochrome buttons. No more colors, they're just black and white. I think that the new monochrome design looks pretty nice.

The new controller will be bundled only with the Play & Charge Kit, replacing the current wireless controller, and will appear in stores on November 9th in the United States retailing for $64.99.

I heard about this earlier. Apparently Nintendo is filing a legal thing about it copying one of their gaming systems/controllers.
