X-Box controller redesigned...

[Mario Maniac]

In case you haven't known, Microsoft has redesigned the X-Box controller to be smaller and lighter than the original big bulky one.

The new controller is called "Controller S".

Here's what's changed in the new design:
-> "Controller S" is now lighter and smaller than the original.
-> Smaller, round-shaped A-,B-,X-,Y-Buttons.
-> Start, Select buttons located next to Analog Stick, rather in the center of controller.
-> Directional Pad (also known as "D-Pad") is shaped more like the D-Pads found on Nintendo's controllers.
-> Black and White buttons are now located BELOW the main buttons, instead of above them.
-> Both Analog Sticks are shaped slightly different, and are indented slightly to fit thumbs.

I am glad Microsoft decided to change the X-Box controller design, because many people (including me) were complaining about the bulkyness (is that a word?) and crooked buttons found on the old controller...

Typical Microsoft. They can't get anything right the first time, so they have to release revisions, and the users shell out more $$$. I doubt it's unintended.

It's not redesigned. It's the same one they had from the beginning in Japan, and they just brought it to America because the American controller is too big.

And this relates to Mario how?

'Cuz we all like insulting Mario's opposition.

Yes, though you gotta admit that insulting the old XBox controller design was rather fun... HAHAHAHA

Things you can use your old XBox controller for now they redesigned it:

Paperweight
Doorstop
Weapon (And it would hurt too)
Free weight
Food for your gerbil
Something to hit with a hammer when you get mad
Battery charger (If you rig it right)
Teething object for babies
Really big Christmas ornament

That's all I can think of for now... ;)
