Thursday 9 November 2006
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft has surveyed a smattering of ꦯXbox Live users to ask for their response to a number of possible peripherals for Xbox 360, including a black controller with back-lit🔯 buttons, rubber grip and a "slightly improved" D-pad; a plug-in controller keyboard and an arcade-style joystick.

The survey featured questions such as "How interested are you in purchasing a wireless joystick?" and "How interested would you be in buying an Xbox 360 branded mini-keyboard plug-in device for you🙈r controller to make text messaging and chat easier?".

Suggested prices were also given, with the 'premium' black controller touted at $60-70 (or roughly %26pound;31-36), the keyboard add-on at $20-30 (%26pound;10-15) and the wireless joystick, "designed for many of the most popular Xbox Live Arcade title🌌s," at $30-40 (%26pound;15-20).

While this isn't a confirmation of intent, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft is clearly interested in pr༒oducing new accessories for 360. The "slightly improved" D-pad on the black con𒉰troller would also please Pro Evolution Soccer 6 fans who found the standard controller imprecise and difficult to use.
