Microsoft Reveals New 360 Controller

[kk.]

I think this is so pointless, I've never had any problems with the d-pad tbh. I prefer the wired controller anyway, its good not having the battery pack getting in the way.

have you tried the ps3 controller? or in fact, any other playstation controller. If youve used them, youll realise how awkward the old xbox controllers were. because theyre all joined, and has the diagonal buttons available, its relatively hard to hit, for example, left accurately.

Yeah, I've got every playstation. I personally really don't mind the d-pad on the xbox though.

I see the "latest Xbox 360" chucked around alot lately which makes me question, is the new 360 the only model that can use Kinect? I read an article and it kinda hinted towards it :/ Does this new controller even have the same style as the console itself?

as far as i know, kinect works with all the 360 consoles. Theyre probably just trying to sell the new xbox. Take the playstation move. They'd prefer to sell the newer versions as theyre probably getting more profit out of them than the older ones

@the kinect bit the new one has a direct port whereas the old versions you would need to plug it in a plug along with the xbox.

Ah I see, makes sense now. I was getting ready to say "So the Xbox 360 is now an old console, and the Kinect model is now a new Xbox console with the same name as the old one"
