Ive never even heard of this. And the only problem with the Xbox controller is the D-Pad, other than that it surpasses the "competitors".

Old news for the rest of the world

"Aberdeen" uh isn't that the exact same as the sliver one that's been out for awhile now.. what did I miss..

what's new -besides the name, I don't get it, it looks exactly the same

I still just like the glossy black xbox controller - wish they would add the new D-pad to that one... (with that little bit of silver on the D-pad it would look awesome on the all black one)

This controller fixes the D-Pad. Hopefully they will start packaging it with the Xbox 360 in its normal color.

Bobby Kotex5243d ago

...which is pointless for the majority of us who already own a 360.

@Bobby Kotex

I really see no difference in releasing a new controller and releasing a new console. People will trade in, sell, upgrade their controller just like the do their consoles to make their gaming experience better. Or just simply because it is the latest and greatest.

Wow, for "awiseman" you seem to have a strong trolling habit.

TheLastGuardian5243d ago

Lol @ Microsoft. We don't have any games coming out this year but heres a new $60 controller to play your old games with.

frjoethesecond5243d ago

Even thought your trolling I kinda agree but mostly disagree. I mean it's there for people who want it. It's not like the old controllers are gonna stop working and you'll be forced to buy this one.

I think it safe to say that your a PS3 pole smoker.

one of these showed up at the gamestop i worked at sometime after the holiday season. I didnt look closely at it but i loved the silver color and I thought it was weird how they took the color out of the buttons.

Releasing a new controller makes sense when theres games to play on the platform...

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

OtterX13d ago

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

GamerRN12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

I've been waiting for 60 to finish the game myself

OtterX12d ago

hopefully we'll know by the end of tomorrow! *crosses fingers*

dmonee13d ago

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

Lionsguard13d ago

Give me my RDR2 Undead Nightmare already.
