New Xbox 360 Controller Previewed
Microsoft has unvieled its new hands-free controller and allowed the public to get its hands on it for the first time. the xbox 360 controller was first shown in June but now the public have been allowed to get there grubby gamer mitts on them. One of the demos to try out was Burnout Paradise and the user controls the car with an imaginary steering wheel and foot movement to control speed. Its all amazingly futuristic and apparently it will help the non gaming community pick up a game and play it easily, without having to figure out all the trillions of buttons modern controllers seem to have.
It sounds very much like a follow on from the Wii style controller and judging from the pictures it will still make you look silly when playing it. Its all up to Sony and the Ps3 to catch up now.
It would be great if they could make a complete portable system for it, you could hook it up and play it when your on holiday camping, and if everyone had mobile broadband you could still play xbox live!
For some more details check out the BBC news site, it tries to explain how it actually works.
