Microsoft has
confirmed that it plans to release a new Xbox 360
controller with an improved d-pad on 24th October.
The pad was found at Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer stand at Leipzig, and Microsoft confirms the pad is "optimised" for the football series.
"The
new limited-edition green wireless controller offers enhancements to
d-Pad functionality, which will add to the experience of playing games
where the d-Pad is the primary control mechanism," Microsoft told
Eurogamer.
"We're always looking to improve products and we made these changes based on feedback from gamers."
However,
the new pad is "a limited edition promotional item that is only
available in Europe, Asia and Latin America while supplies last", which
is likely to upset fans who feel the d-pad needs full-time replacement
rather than a one-off patch for PES.
