Might buy an Xbox 360 but I'm waiting til the D-Pad is raised

It launches in Nov in the states (on the 9th, I belive).

The D-Pad isn't the best but I think the New Controllers help a little bit more.

I brought this for my PC but it works with the 360 aswell.

That transforming d-pad controller comes out next week. I rather get the Razer Onza though. Also they have this ugly one.

It's by Evil Controllers.

Analog sticks place right next to each other = fail design.

I don't see the problem with the regular d-pad.Sure,it isn't perfect,but people are blowing this d-pad stuff up.

the new controllers are comming out the 9th and there is no gurantee they will be available in the 360's them selves. And the new dpad is reviewed as not being that much better which isn't surprising since the problems with the dpad wasn't is suface but the inner workings, I modded my 360 controller my self sanding down the rim, and cutting down ridges on the dpad inside and recreating the connecting surface and it works great now.

Yeah pretty much this. I'm no fan of the d-pad, but since I don't play much of the fighting genre I'm ultimately cool with it. I may use it every now and again for some extra function in a game, but it always responds nicely. To tell you the truth I have a bigger problem with games that require you to push down on the analog sticks, i.e the running motion in COD, or the scoping action in Halo. Thanks to pushing down so much my left analog stick no longer responds when I push it down.

LOL, fanboy!

Anyway the main feature of the Saitek Cyborg is that you can change the stick and pad placement at will, to resemble a Dualshock or a normal 360 controller.

Oh that is pretty nifty. I'm not a fanboy...I just tell it like it is.

I can't wait for the new controllers, I'm picking up 2 since I have 3 and all have problems. Plus my charger cord is shot to hell.

you don't really even need the d-pad for the xbox
