Acknowledging the trouble many players have had with the current d-pad, Microsoft's engineers have upgraded the controller's d-pad to go "from a plus to a disc with the twist of the wrist," according to[url="http://stars.ign.com/objects/142/14235331.html"]Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb[/url], director of programming for Xbox Live.

The new d-pad provides "ultimate accuracy and control for both directional as well as sweeping movements."

The new, matte silver controller also features concave analog sticks and gray A,B,X,Y buttons for "added style." The controller will only be available with the Play & Charge Kit on November 9 in the United States for $64.99, with a European release planned for next year.

In a follow up e-mail, Hryb told IGN there are "no plans at this time" to release the controller separately and that the new colored buttons will not be the color design moving forward. They are only for this controller.
