I’m not normally one to be overly interested in acontrollerof all things, but this sexy newred Xbox 360 padhas caught my eye. A limited edition run, this new pad boasts a shiny paint job and the new Play & Charge cable for easy recharging. Plus it now matches the color of your console’s inevitable red rings! The peripheral and charge cable will set you back $64.99.
We already heard abouta controller with an improved D-Padhitting Europe this year, but it’s not known if the design specs are the same as this one, which doesn’t mention anything about a new D-Pad. Either way, here’s the fullsales pitchfrom Microsoft:
Anybody interested in this? Since the controller is red, you should be able to enjoy three times more control over your videogames, but without word on the D-Pad, it may be wise to hold out and see if that improvement is present, or at least coming over from Europe at some point. Dtoider Max Power points out that a lot of these specs, including the “new” shoulder buttons, are displayed on all Xbox 360 controllers throughout its Web site, so this is likely just a respray with the new cable. Note to Micrsoft: WE WANT D-PAD!
