We&rsquo;re still in rumour territory then, but word is that Microsoft will be making an official announcement tomorrow (1 September 2010), with accompanying pricing and launch date information.<\/p>\n<p>The gimmick on the new controller will be a &lsquo;pop-up&rsquo; d-pad that will appeal to those who prefer the raised feel of old-school controllers. The d-pad can reportedly be rotated 90 degrees and it will then pop up about half a centimeter.<\/p>\n<p>This will likely be a feature that fighting game enthusiasts will enjoy, as the old-school design will make pulling off moves that much easier.
