Subject: Microsoft redesigns the 360 d-pad.
Via Gamasutra there's news from Major Nelson that Microsoft is revising their 360 pad with a new d-pad, a change that was sorely needed (NFGcontrols review). A real d-pad change too, not a half-assed maybe-not fix like last time.

Here's a video where he explains the new, somewhat bizarre change you see above:
I'm not entirely convinced this is the right solution to what has been a fairly pathetic failure on MS' part. I mean, when the original d-pad lets me down I don't think "If only it were taller". Let's hope it works.
