interesting

[ryanb316]

I thought it was supposed to be a wireless controller... And I miss the black & white buttons already.

[dmes65]

Theres no where to put your xbox live head set, I doubt that ugly controller is the real one.

[Sartori]

Ugly as sin, wouldn't surprise me considering last gen's terrible design.

[help1]

I thought it was supposed to be a wireless controller... And I miss the black & white buttons already.

I heard there were 4 trigger buttons, like ps2's. As for the wireless thing:

"The now clearly grey controller now clearly shows the Xbox's x-y-a-b-button, askew thumbsticks, and d-pad configuration and what appear to be shoulder buttons. However, it also shows a cord clearly attached to the front of the controllers, which would contradict reports that the 360's controllers are wireless. However, sources close to Microsoft said the final controllers will indeed not require a cable other than for charging--and that the controller pictured is indeed the 360's."

lol fake

[basketkase543]

Ewww, those button colors are pretty horendous. The letter's look like crappy stationary-store stickers.

[help1]

lol fake

Wow, someone doesn't know how to read.

[eshbums]

It looks like a candy version of the current controller. Like a little E3 snack for the weary press.

[Kayden]

A trackball on the ps3 controller? O_o

[vherub]

it is quite similar to the existing s design, the difference being start and back have moved to more traditional locations and then poorly placed black/white buttons have been banished from the front (with rumors suggesting they are doubling up behind the l and r)
I think that test look will obviously leave and you will be left with the same ergonomic design as the s, and better button placement which is fine by me.
I would also imagine x1 controllers will be compatible if the design is not changing drastically.

[David85]

Yeah what's with the wires and whats with the buttons missing? How can it be backwards campatable when there are buttons missing.

[help1]

Well, if there is 2 L's and 2 R's, then the black and whites will be programed to them...

As for the idea x1 controllers working, I dont think so because I read that xbox 2 accessories will all be able to connect and be compatible with the PC.

aw.........it looks kinda.............ugly................
Seriously, i have owned Xbox for 1 year something and i have played it for less than 10 hours.
But it's mostly because i hate the controller.

Whoah? I have owned my ps2 since launch and my XBOX one year ago and I've but more hours on XBOx then on ps2.

[David85]

Well I have played the GC more than the PS2 and Xbox mainly because that's all I own. :roll:

So let's get back on topic of how fake it looks. :)

I really hope its a prototype and that the console doesnt come packaged with ugly ass grey... I like black controllers.

[spoo]

I like the white/grey look. I remember all my friends hating the PS controller when it first came out and untill late into the PS life cycle. Now they won't use a GC or Xbox controller without bitching.

Moral of the story is people hate change.

[kill3r7]

We'll find out on Thursday for sure but I would have to say that looks like a fake.

[Wet Ninja]

I wish they'd bring back the Duke.

[Strell]

"We look at delivering a quantum leap in technology, not just Xbox version 1.5," Sony spokeswoman Molly Smith is quoted as saying.

My thoughts exactly.

[help1]

My thoughts exactly.

Why did you post this in the XBOX 360 board?

[redgopher]

Black sucks. Go white!

[2poor]

the white makes the controller look like some sort of cheap toy. it should be kept black.

[Acrylic]

I'm loving the whole idea of a white console and white controller.

It'll be different than any other console released thusfar.

Boy I can't wait! :)

I like the design of the controller, but it they just made it a bit more different, it'd be better.

[YeahRight13]

i really think that the controllers are gay i hate black would be better

[Cracka]

why's the console gotta be black? why cant we have a white console? The man's always tryin to keep us white people down.

i feel sorry for you.

[TheUnsane1]

I have come to like the Xbox controller s the most of any controller ever. It just feels so natural. If the black and white buttons where on the back of the controller where your middle fingers naturally go it would be impossible to top IMO. I do like the ps controllers but compared to controller s they feel cheap and frail IMO.

ive never owned a dreamcast...but isn't that kinda white?

More....greyish white...


Meh, I haven't seen a dreamcast in years, so I dunno.

[Ozzkev55]

There appears to be something at the bottom of the controller, for the headset. Im thinking this has a built in communicator

[Parathod]

It looks comfortable, but it has a cheap plastic look to it. Perhaps if they gave it a different texture, like eggshell.

[gsr]

dreamcast 2 here we come..

all signs point toward this thing flopping..

[js1]

I think it's real when I was flipping channels, mtv news came on , & they started talking about the new xbox, and showed a preview of the upcoming show. and it had quick flashes of rappers , movies stars etc.. at the xbox unveiling party, playing the new xbox and one quick shot had a white controller in hand.

The perks of being famous...

[Ledhed]

A trackball on the ps3 controller? O_o

Glad I'm not the only one who saw it. Not a bad idea, since that analog is almost always reserved for camera control and aiming in FPSs.

[SteveMcQ]

Exactly.

Yeah, it mostly likely is for that purpose, but the port was a bit odd-looking. Where's that pic someone posted it somewhere.

Hehe...eggshell. I thought of an episode of some home makeover show, but I know what you mean.

And those white outlines around the buttons...just tacky.

[twanky]

So ugly. The current controller S is so much more sleek. They should just keep the current controller S and make it wireless.
