Don't really care about that. I could use a new old style for cheap though.

How about a better ENTIRE controller design? I know some people like it, but I could never stand the overall feel of the standard 360 controller.

LoL...one of the first things he said in the video is that people don't like the d-pad because there should be a stick there like on the PS3...after all, hands are symmetrical, why not the controller?
Their response? A d-pad in the same place!

The biggest problem with the dpad is that it isnot precise in games like streetfighter, marvel vs capcom, or tekken that require precision control accuracy. A stick isnot doesnot work as well as a good dpad. Xbox has the worst I've ever seen. Hopefully this is a dpad that will work as well as snes dpad which in my opinion is better than the playstations.

I'm with you, the XBOX controllers suck, in case anyone from Microsoft is listening, I'll drive in from Kirkland to the Millennium building and talk with you.
