Xbox 360: New Picture of Controller Appears Online
By: César A. Berardini - "Cesar"

May. 3rd, 2005 6:01 pm

"Following last month's pictures of the supposed next generation Xbox
controller, a new photo of what looks like a prototype of the Xbox 360
controller has been leaked tonight.

The new photo shows a controller that looks similar to that seem in previous
pictures but surprisingly, this one has a cord attached to it. Once again,
the glossy look of the enclosure and the absence of a logo in the front make
us think that, if real, this is just a prototype of the Xbox 360 controller
as the console will utilize wireless technology for its controllers.

So far, the pictures released would confirm the replacement of the Black and
White buttons with two shoulder buttons while the Back and Start buttons
have been moved toward both sides of the Xbox 360 logo. "

Way back in the Old'en days when i was a wee lad. This little company called
Apple tried to release a console to contend with the market at the time. The
controller looks like the apple on from all those years ago.

My opinion if this is the controller is deffo "What the **** it looks
terrible" then again i remember when i first took my hands to an xbox
controller and complained. But after many'o hours getting thumb cramp my
hands started to take a liking to it. That said it does look naff

If it is the geniune article its probably something like a resin cast or
3d print prototype.

It looks like one of those cheap'n'nasty plug into your TV
console/controllers.

It may be a prototype for an Xbox controller (as opposed to 360). My
horrid multi coloured controller has sholder black and white buttons.

Hell they could even be the controllers they are using for the
development machines to see if the game plays right with the control
layout (i.e. ergonomic test).

Of course if the other renders of the 360 are true then the right hand
side could be a set of sockets for wired units as well as using wireless
(i.e. backwards compatbility on controllers).

Holy hell it's ugly ! ! ! Not to mention small as all get out ! ! ! I think
Nintendo's wireless controller is bigger, not to mention sweeter . . . It
might be fake or a prototype, I don't want a brick but at least big enough to
not make my wrist hurt or my fingers fall asleep . . .

.. . . did I mention that it was ugly!
