Maybe i'll get it.

Not that the D pad matters much, only use it in Pro Evo and..fighting games i guess? But hey, i'll get to buy Pro Evo on the 360 again.

Well here is to hoping the MS is just going to use the eventual popularity of this new controller to continue production and expand it into the US.  Either that or quietly replace the current controllers with the news ones as they sell through.

Buy... online?  I dunno, it sounds risky. What if someone finds out where I live? :omg

And holy fuck that colour is almost as fugly as the Halo 360.  Actually, I think it's worse.

EB Japan had a "d-pad improvement party" a few months ago. It was awesome.

Since it seems the d-pad is still sitting a mile away from the circuit board, I'd hazard a guess that there's still about half an inch of stupid ideas in between your thumb and the contacts.
