Forums - Microsoft - D-Pad improved with new controllers?

I thought the Cow controller from Wal-mart would have it, but it seems to be the same old one.

D-Pad and motion sensor is the main reason PS3 controller > 360 controller.

360 controller layout is better for FPS games. All 360 controllers have rumble. Replaceable batteries are an advantage for quick swapouts. D-Pad is the 360 controllers only weapness IMO.

It's the old style.  I guarantee you.  If you want the new dpad you have to buy those special edition ones from europe.  Havn't read about em in a while so I don't remember what they're called.  Some soccer controller.  M$ is incredibly stupid for not bringing them to the US though.  I personally would sell all my controllers and replace them with new ones if they gave them a better d-pad.  I never will understand how a company can just sit on a potential pile of cash without realizing that's what they're doing.  I want to give you money M$! Let me give it to you already!

Or you could just buy a console that won't RROD on you with the hundreds of dollars M$ wants you to spend in added peripherals.

All PS3 controllers have rumble since more than one year now haha.

And you have to buy a battery recharger to X360 so its extra money spent.

Plus the X360 controller is just a GC controller thrown over a dualshock layout.

I already have a ps3.  Still pretty funny RRoD is all you fanboys can come up with to bash M$ though.

Really? Rumble still hasn't magically appeared on my sixaxis.

I don't, I use 15 minute rechargeable batteries.

No, the 360 controller is an evolved Dreamcast controller.

I was about to dispute that, but then I thought about the original beast of an Xbox controller and the connection became more plausible.

On topic, the 360 D-pad is so bad I hardly notice whether it's a little worse.
