Wow, Japan's getting a red controller. How thrilling. Now we can finally rest easy knowing for sure the console war is over because a red controller went to Japan. Praise the lord!

I think that is only the PES09 green controller only available in Europe. Please correct me if I am wrong.

why does it look like they just took the original white one and painted red? they need to put some designs on it or something

(the green one was even worse)

The red controllers' grey bits are black..

I want them to come to europe.. I have the green one, the d pad does feel different, although it only gets used for Gears of War weopon changes (or never more than 4 directional anyway)

Wait the standard green controller? I thought it was the Red that had it.The Halo controller Dpad is also a bit better but not by much.

MK Vs DC is unplayable without a better D-pad and the fatalities are a matter of luck.

"i would love a better d-pad, i can't stand playing fighting games with the analog stick"

Because you don't own an arcade stick (Hori makes an excellent one) I question your dedication to fighting games.

I wish they would release it in Europe I think it looks good and I need a new controller. I might just go for the green one as they are going cheap atm.

Too bad it's an ugly shade of red. I'd rather the pink.

Ugly? I have this controller and it is just red, just red. Go to a custom color selector and set the red level to 255 and that is the shade of red that it is.

P.S.- This controller kicks ass and looks sick.

They're 3 times as fast as the regular controllers.

anyone seen those strange dragon controllers at wal-mart/sams club?

extra colors are cute and all but i agree with everyone above that thinks the d-pad needs more attention than the shell..

vf5 is hard enough without struggling vs the d-pad all the time.. some moves are completely impossible without an arcade stick..

im on my second standard controller and i doubt im gonna pay extra for pretty colors. if i cant find an improved d-pad ill prolly just get a used one from gamestop..

there is a Southwest Airlines commercial where two dudes are in a living room playing a video game. they both have red 360 controllers but the are playing a motion controller game.

The white dude on the couch throws his into the tv and the commercial asks "wanna get away?"

Eh, this is good news I guess. I know I like the red controller and have been salivating over getting one for awhile now. Just because I don't really "need" it, when the cost as much as a new game almost, I end up never buying one. Though the red does look nice.
