Microsoft has confirmed our earlier report that it plans to release a new Xbox 360 controller with an improved d-pad on 24th October.
We found the pad and photographed it on Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer stand, and Microsoft confirms the pad is "optimised" for the football series.
"The new limited-edition green wireless controller offers enhancements to d-Pad functionality, which will add to the experience of playing games where the d-Pad is the primary control mechanism," Microsoft told Eurogamer.
"We're always looking to improve products and we made these changes based on feedback from gamers."
However, the new pad is "a limited edition promotional item that is only available in Europe, Asia and Latin America while supplies last", which is likely to upset fans who feel the d-pad needs full-time replacement rather than a one-off patch for PES.
Speaking to Eurogamer at Games Convention, one third-party publisher told us that the pad was also designed to work with Street Fighter IV, so perhaps it will turn up again next year.

Although it does not look different from any other 360 controller! They say that the d-pad feel much looser and smoother to use! so that tells me that when I play COD then the game won't screw me over when I throw my UAV, air strike or helicopter and it won't push the night vision when I press right on the d-pad! So they say... we will have to wait till they bring that design to US because it will only be in Europe, Asia and Latin America to start of with! That is the most that I gathered about this story... let me know if anyone finds out anything else about this!

that was going through my head as i was playing vegas 2 last night. its almost as bad as those halo contollers they released. i can understand the pink controllers, along with white, blue, and black. but green in that hideous colour? i do hope it comes in different colours mind
