The D-pad on the existing 360 controllers is, to put it mildly, utter garbage. If you want to play any games relying on precise movements, such as fighting games, buying a third-party controller is a requirement. Microsoft hopes it has this problem licked, however, and is releasing a controller with a new, updated D-pad on November 9. The catch? You won't be able to buy the controller alone; you'll need to grab the Play and Charge Kit to get it, and the final cost will be $64.99.

Here is the controller, complete with transforming D-pad.





good news, i'm in need of a new controller, and this looks really nice..... bad news, why is it only bundled with the play and charge kit yo, it be costlayyy..lol...

Wow...not cool M$.

I've actually been using XBL less and less over the years.  Some of the 'extra' stuff
that M$ has added to XBL recently I just don't use, but I guess that all users would
have been forced to accept a price hike at some point.  Word is that the 'Hulu' video
service (which by itself is 10 US) is the cause of this price increase.  Others say that it may be a pre-emptive move to recoup imminent Kinect losses.  Either way, this isn't going to go down well with the masses.

The timing of this is very bad.  The last thing you want to do in a 'recession' is raise prices...especially if you can't really justify what direct benefits your customers are getting for that extra 10 dollars.

Well I agree to a point Arc. But being an Xbox Live regular, the extra $10 not really bothering me so much. But then again, I don't have region blocking like you guys have there, so I actually enjoy features like Netflix, Zune, Last.fm and soon ESPN and Hulu, so I can't really complain there. They are offering a lock-in price of $39.99 for the next year though, but you have to act now and renew your membership before Nov. 1st I believe. So at least you get the next year at $10 less....

Lol yeah it woulda be better if they at least gave specific reasons as to why. I'd go with inflation though :p

I assume all these Xbox Live Gold Cards will be increasing from November 1st.

...but my current subscription is up in April.....2011.  If I renew before Nov 1st 2010, won't I 'lose' all those
months I have 'inside'?  If so, then how does that 'lock-in' help me.

...and about that region blocking thing...it can be rather frustrating at times.  Case in point:
Tried to download the HAWX 2 demo on XBL last night, and get a hot 'not available from your region'
message...

WTF!!?  For a DEMO!!?

PROMPTLY fired up my PS3, and had no such issue.  Demo obtained.  End of story.

Is this what I'll be paying 60 US a year for?  To be bluntly told that I can't access
what I'm PAYING for?

Not cool Micro$oft.  Not cool at all.  :shakehead:

Suddenly that Playstation Plus starting to look like a better deal.

It's always been like that Arc, and PSN does have region blocking to some degree on music and movies AFAIK. Even though Sony never clamped down totally there is nothing stopping them. I know we discussed using proxies a while back to get past such issues but those solutions are inconvenient and time consuming when you just wanna play some games :p

I have no problem with the movies and music thing.  I don't use any of my consoles for that, so I won't miss it.

Its the games I have a problem with.  There are lots of US citizens living outside the continental US who are getting shafted as well.
Aren't they paying subscribers too?  I dunno...I am slowly being herded into a particular train of thought that Xbox Live is becoming
a bit of a rip-off for us folks who don't reside in the US, and who don't need all the extra 'services' (which are free to use on your PC mind you).

...and that 20 GB real easy to upgrade too.  The replacement drive (120 GB) is only 40 US too.

Hell yes.  Its a normal Samsung 20 GB laptop SATA HDD, so it will fit in any enclosure like that.  I actually reused mine in my netbook to run Ubuntu.  Worked like a charm.


EDIT:  I just looked at that enclosure a little more closely.  You need a SATA enclosure.
That one is IDE, so its incompatible with the drive.

This might be what you're looking for.

cuz im not gonna be using the 360 for much anyway just the basic Halo, Gears, L4D (unless this comes to ps3 as well) and probably GR:FS since S4 already on ps3 plus it cheaper

250GB is space i would never really use on the 360 anyway

even if you won't use it, it's still good to have it. Especially with the increasing size/quality of XBLA games, it's not uncommon to find those titles being over 900mb these days.

yea but thats the thing i got a ps3 with a 500GB HDD for them small games not gonna buy any M$ points or anything really unless is for a REALLY REALLY good dlc, reach mp maps or gears mp maps other than that nothing to buy on XBLA that i cant get on PSN that i actually want

I dunno, me personally if I going 360, I'm getting my hard drive space.
Yes I won't be using it for media since I already do that on PS3.
But for things like game installs, updates and even If I end up using it for media, I'd like to have that space and no hassle of buying a new drive, or turning the ps3 on to get the media there.
