New Xbox 360 Controller (No That's not Puke on it)
Madcow | 7:41 PM on 10.19.2008 24 comments


Hello Dtoid's,

some days ago Microsoft released the limited lime edition of the xbox 360 controller.
This one got an improved Dpad.
It has now 8-ways to and not the 4-way as before.
Hope you enjoy the video and i apologize for my bad english in advance, it is my first time commenting stuff in english on the fly. (Man thats hard, if english is not your mother language).

I think they just need a totally redesigned D pad to begin with. just rip off nintendo or sony. Wait not Nintendo, theirs is too small.

I think I am going to buy the Red one because Dude Huge said that's the one he uses.

In all seriousness, it would be better off if Microsoft and Hori teamed up for some serious controllers, because they're impossible to find in retail! Especially for Street Fighter 4.

Scrixx: Check out play-asia.com, I got a great HORI there for my 360 and it was a decent price too :)

Good video. I want one of these so bad but I dont think its getting released in the U.S. SSFIITURBOHDREMIX....Christ...will be unplayable with the 360s dpad. And the dualshock 3's dpad can tear up fingers.
Crunshii's Destructoid Blog
that looks like puke...

Hah! I was right. You are german!

Also, awesome. Microsoft is testing it over in Europe, and working out the kinks. It'll come out here and be even better.

I'm calling it now (even though others have called it long before me).

Glad to hear a hands-on opinion about this thing...... Too bad it's only a limited edition and not a permanent replacement to the current shitty controllers.

It does look like puke, though.


Great English, btw!
MYL0R's Destructoid Blog
you did a pretty good job with the english, for it not being your native language. Good review
I really want one of these, so i cna't wait for them to hit america
BulletMagnet's Destructoid Blog
Thanks for the quick demonstration. Click-click-click!

I recall reading, however, that the USA isn't going to be getting these...supposedly the new controllers were intended for particular games which use the d-pad a lot (soccer games in particular, IIRC), which are not as popular here as elsewhere. Of course, many of us would argue that anyone with functioning fingers would prefer a better d-pad even if it's not being used all the time, but oh well.

There is a relatively simple mod you can do to the existing controller's case (just shaving off some excess plastic, really) which supposedly improves its performance - I haven't tried it myself, but there's a tutorial or two floating around on YouTube. Of course, we'd all prefer that MS change its mind and release it over here, but...

Dan CiTi's Destructoid Blog
Your english is pretty good actually pretty good.

That's nice to hear, maybe it'll be as good as the hori I keep hearing about.

Madcow's Destructoid Blog

TorpedoTed's Destructoid Blog
Hi Buddy, did you play any PES with it? Would be good to know if its better :¬)

Also your English is pretty darn wicked, better than my German!!

Puke is not green.


Puke is usually the color of bile, which is somewhere between mustard yellow and tomato sauce red.


This controller is lima bean green.
CaseyJones77's Destructoid Blog
horrible colour
but good review..your english wasnt that bad so don't worry

i saw one of these yesterday at my GAME induction and wondered if it was any different, hopefully i can get a play on one at my first shift tomorrow and see how it plays

but yeh, like other people have said, would be good if they just worked on a new d-pad all together

-rob
Madcow's Destructoid Blog
Actually i did not played PES with it, but i will give it a try immediately and give you a quick repsonse, maybe with a video.
Yeah i guess lima bean green descripes it better. Maybe they wanted to let it look more like the grass soccer field :D
