Details of the new Xbox 360 Controller has been floating around the net for a couple of weeks now, but now we have the Australian specifics.
The controller with the new D-pad will go on sale from November 9th. It comes with an included play and charge kit for AUD$99.95. The kit gives some 25 hours of play per charge.
The new controller is quite similar, except the D-pad can be rotated to pop out the "cross" a bit further if the gamer desires for more d-centric titles (such as fighters).

does anyone care about this?
wait a few months and the 3rd party copies for $30 will be out.

I've always preferred first party controls, but this isn't a huge deal for me. Don't play any games that use the D-pad. The analogue stick design is changed a bit too... maybe some features from a prototype next-xbox controller?

It comes with play + charge which is normally $34.95, so it's actually cheaper than buying a normal controller as they are $79.95.
I wouldn't pay that eitherSeems a lot for a bit of plastic and some wireless that is tech at least 5 years old..
E.g. compare to a Logictech Harmony Remote and the complexity of that compared to a game controller.

Logitech Harmony remote = 5 yr old tech too
I don't remember the last time I went to the Logitech website and saw something new.. used to be all the time but they ran out of ideas a few years ago. Hell, the z5500's are still their main speakers!!!!!
I have bluetooth speakers, they are awesome.. I can stream music from any device anywhere in the house. They are not logitech

Really? I remember wishing I could afford those in mid-highschool 0_o

you realise they have plenty of new models for the haromony remotes right? with new tech included?

When did the most recent one that costs under $100 come out

im pretty sure the harmony 300 was updated early this year or late last year and its like 50$ and for like 25$ more you can get the 600 which is also recent and has an lcd
