New XBOX 360 Controller Officially Announced

New 360 Controller

The new XBOX 360 controller first reported to us yesterday by our own Jason Rode has been made official today by Microsoft’s Major Nelson.  As you can see, it’s a fairly sleek matte silver design.  And if you’re one of those folks that’s not particularly fond of the d-pad on the current 360 controller, this new one is aimed at you.  We’ll let Major Nelson tell you all about it in the video below:

The new controller will come with a play and charge kit (in case you don’t already have 3 or 4 of those laying around the house) and will retail for $64.99.  You can expect to find it on store shelves on November 9th.
