I think you'll find that is just a reflection of the light box that was sued to take the photos. they are chromed controllers so thats the effect you get when photographing them.

The area that the headset plugs into however is black.

Cool, might pick up a silver one then.

Personally after trying the initial new controllers with the new d-pad that were released last year, I find it still isn't that much of a big improvement especially for fighting games.

Sure it is better, just not that much. Maybe it's just the mould and shape of the thing that I don't like or not used to.

For old-school 2D side scrollers it is useful, but for actual fighting games, not really.

That's a shame then as the redesign was meant solely to fix the original d pad issues. Still not a deal breaker

Still using my orginal white bad boy, might order a red one. It looks pretty

Colour buttons? Since when have they not had coloured buttons?

Is the D pad any better quality in these ones?..found teh response on the normal opnes to be pretty bad.

That is a thread title to be ashamed of.

Isnt it about time they bring a new console out instead of flogging the same old horse?

The latest pad before these replaced the colour buttons with black and white ones.

I preordered a blue one because my current controller is starting to drift to the left a little.

Nismo · 5 Jun 2012 at 11:16

Yuk, and they'll look absolutely ditched after the first use.

Hostile_18 · 5 Jun 2012 at 12:59

Only if you have greasy gamer hands

Noel Gallagher · 6 Jun 2012 at 20:17

They look sexy

I already got like 4 controllers.. must resist

Are these the same controllers that are supposed to have touch pads that can tell who is holding the pad and then sign into the person's gamertag?

Sweaty palms ahoy!

Hostile_18 · 7 Jun 2012 at 11:40

I think I'm safe as long as I don't play Dark Souls with it lol. I bought the red one, the girlfriend the silver one

No.

I prefer colorware.com for controller colours for anyone interested in a bit more choice. A bit pricey but they look great and most people will never see another one like it.

Received my new controller in the post today.
It's certainly more blue than the cyan colour it appears in the promo material.
It's pretty nice though.

Hostile_18 · 9 Jun 2012 at 07:17

Oh don't do this to me Blue is the only one I didn't get and I want that one as well now!!

There really should be a 4th colour, one for each player.

There's the gold C3P0 controller from the Star Wars kit
