    Hi all,
    I remember reading that Microsoft were reasing an updated controller which includes a much better d-pad, and that it would be released at the same time as PES2009. It was going to be green in color.

    Well, I saw a new green controller in Game last night, which was released last week. There was no details on whether this was the update or just a new color.

    Anyone know if this is the updated pad? I want to buy it for Street Fighter 3.

    Yeah I believe thats it. Its exclusive to GAME. As far as I can tell it doesn't really have anything to do with PES so I'm not sure why it was announced as such. The US are getting a red version to coincide with Gears 2. And why the hell are they limited editions as well? If microsoft are admitting the D-pad is rubbish why don't they make the improvements standard? For Street fighter you'd be better off getting this anyway:

    The colour is limited not the design, all future pads will incorporate the new d-pad.
