Albert Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 I don't like the existing Xbox controller, so I think this will be a big improvement. I've used the Japanese controller (we have several at work) and it's much better, in my opinion. It's smaller, lighter, the trigger buttons have weaker springs, and the colored buttons are much easier to use (and not made of the same hard plastic, either). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 US Xbox controller=huge and evil. Not all of us have MASSIVE giant hands capable of using that thing. I mean, I'm still not getting an xbox, but thats alot better controller wise. Give me a classic SNES controller any day of the week ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory DG Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 You know what REALLY bugs me about the Xbox's controllers? WHY is the "X" button BLUE instead of GREEN like the whole logo? That TOTALLY doesn't make any sense. The "X" button should be GREEN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 I hate those original 'soupbowl' controllers - so the new, 'slimmer' controllers look just fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted March 24, 2002 Author Share Posted March 24, 2002 Ebgames is taking pre-orders for the redesigned US version of the XBOX controller. Essentially the same thing as the the JAP version (except with the US version of the XBOX jewel logo in the center), this retails for the same as the superior original version and should be out in April. Sadly, the button placements are the same as the JAP version. EB preorder for new XBOX pad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine this wasn't a conscious decision on Microsoft's part. Why they would do such a thing is absolutley beyond me. Well, I guess maybe they did it so when you see a Blue X in a game, you know they're referring to the button. And when you see a Green X, it's probably the XBox logo. Maybe they didn't want the two to be confused? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgehog Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 The buttons on the right of the controller have a playstation type look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Master Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 Yep, it looks alot better than the old US one. Although you can probably still break windows with it . [ 03-25-2002: Message edited by: Atari Master ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
