As already posted over at Gametactics, Microsoft are upgrading the Xbox 360′s controllers by allowing you to transform the D-Pad from a disk to a more raised cross.

The change happens with a simple twist, and apparently allows you for more defined 4 directional selection without accidentally selecting a diagonal direction unless you really want it to. Yes, some people are just picky. They also have taken the strange design decision of removing the colours from the buttons, instead requiring you to refer to the letters or remembering which one is the yellow and which is the blue. Major Nelson explains more with this video:

The US and Canada will get it from November 9th for $65, whilst Europe and anywhere else will get it early next year.
