We’ve just made the Xbox 360 Wireless controller even better with a brand new version that includes a transforming D-pad. The engineers have come up with an ingenious solution with a d-pad that can go from a plus to a disc with the twist of the wrist.



In addition to the new d-pad, the matte silver controller also features concave analog sticks and gray A,B,X,Y buttons for added style.

The controller will only be available with the new Play & Charge Kit that will launch on November 9th for US $64.99.

Maybe it is just me, but what real use would the new D-Pad have? I've never had an issue with the normal D-Pad!

I really like it, as it will help for fighting games. The current D-pad sucks :/ so a normal one would be so awesome.

Welcome to the forums.

It's been available in Europe for a while now (Example 1: Xbox 360 Wireless Controller with Play and Charge Kit - Silver (Xbox 360): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games). I have no idea why we seem to get everything later. Usually it is cheaper to import anyway

If you follow the link I supplied it is still available. The one that is unavailable is being sold by a private seller It's also available from Game: http://www.game.co.uk/en/xbox-360-si...earchTerm=Xbox controller&sortBy=RELEVANCE and Gamestation: http://www.gamestation.co.uk/webapp/...tiveSearchView
