Microsoft sent along a couple of the new Special Edition Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers that feature the transforming d-pad. Nick and I gave these controllers a spin this weekend to see if this would be the d-pad of our dreams.
In the video above Nick and I waste no time talking about how the new pad — which transforms from an 8-way disc to a more focused 4-way cross — worked in games that were difficult with the original controller.Lumines Live, anyone? We also cover some of the slight design changes in this new $64.99 controller. It’s all accented by product shots and video we took of the sexy silver thing — it really does look great. If you want a better look, check out ourlovely HD YouTube video version. There’s also some images in our gallery.
What do you think? Will you be replacing your controllers with this new one?
