GC 2008: Xbox 360 Controller Redesigned
Bidding farewell to the spongy d-pad.

by Martin Robinson, IGN UK
UK, August 20, 2008 - A subtly redesigned Xbox 360 controller has been spotted on the showroom floor at this year's Games Convention in Leipzig, sporting a new-feel d-pad that addresses the previously unresponsive and spongy model.

While aesthetically identical to the previous controller, the d-pad has been re-engineered to offer more instant control, with an eight way input taking place of the previous four. A brief hands-on with the controller playing Pro Evolution 2009 proved that the redesign has been effective, with the d-pad sitting in a larger rocker and proving more tactile.

It's expected to release at the same time as this year's Pro Evolution Soccer, and the re-design is thought to have been inspired by the imminent release of Street Fighter IV.

We'll have photos of the new controller - though don't expect to see the difference - and further impressions later on.

I know this might not seem like it belongs here, but I thought you Pro Evo guys might be excited to hear this. Even though I don't really play Pro Evo these days, I'm excited to hear this and I know you guys are too.

Isn't it just a limited edition pack in?

Well, I've read of SFIV coming with pack-ins, but it sounds like this an official MS product.

"Rumour surfaces about new controller from Microsoft; Konami rep. claims new '16-way' d-pad will be bundled with Pro Evolution Soccer 2009."
