from what I've heard the new d-pad should have 32 directions instead of 8. I find that hard to believe though.

it was on eurogamer a while ago

I still don't see why microsoft can't have a d-pad like the nes, snes or psx. the 360 d-pad is beyond useless and an inaccurate piece of crap

IDK..this is the article I was talking about. It says it'll have 32 directions.

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=218839

16 sounds more believable than 32 though

Good look on the links. Yea green...blah. Would have to mod that. Article says avaliable in Latin America, and Europe in limited quantities for PES (??). Indicated that new controller will work with Street Fighter 4. We'll see whats up. Never got MS's marketing with peripherals. Green? It's like with the wireless game adapter only coming in white while they have black controllers. huh??? And the now defunk hd-dvd attachment...only in white. Eh. I dont get it.

IMO PS controller D-Pad is even worse! I really dont have any trouble with the 360 controllers besides when i play fighting games...
