Over at a German games convention going on now, IGN has come across a new Xbox 360 controller by Microsoft. Apparently it looks pretty much identical to the old one (pictured here) but includes an entirely redesigned directional pad (which makes sense, because the current d-pad isn't so good)...

Yeah, playing anything 2D on Xbox 360 is kinda difficult :)

Just read at X3F (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/08/20/curses-d-pad-revision-is-limited-edition-promotional-item/#comments) that this is actually bundled with Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 and is a limited edition promotional item that is only available in Europe, Asia and Latin America. Oh and it only comes in green.

Well, I guess that's how they'll sell it at first.
Im sure that they wouldnt improve the D-Pad to sell with a game that you wouldnt even really use the D-Pad with -_-
