Major Nelson has just gone live with a YouTube video showing off the upcoming new controller for the Xbox 360. Microsoft has just redesigned the already-awesome Xbox 360 controller, to further improve the gameplay experience. The new D-pad is a trick new patented design, that has a disc in the normal configuration, but a quick twist raises the crossbars about a quarter-inch, making it eminently more usable.

The analogue sticks have also been tweaked to be slightly more concave, and the ‘ABXY’ buttons are now translucent monochrome instead of coloured. The new matte silver controller will only come bundled with the Play and Charge kit for $64.99 when it launches on November 9 in the States and replaces the existing wireless controller Europeans will only get their fair share early next year in February.Woot, sounds like you should hold off your hormones to dash out and get that new Xbox 360, and wait for this controller to go gold. Sorry for those who just bought them.
