It doesn't look like everyone should be jumping for joy about a revised Xbox 360 d-pad, yet. According to Microsoft the rumored directional pad revision is currently only slated as "a limited edition promotional item that is only available in Europe, Asia and Latin America while supplies last." Set for release on October 24, <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=218894">Eurogamer</a> confirmed the "optimized" d-pad will be released in a bundle with <em>Pro Evolution Soccer 2009</em>. Also, the controller will be sickly green, as seen in the image above. While plans could change the bundle seems to be the only option for now. No word on a North American bundle, so for now sports fans should hope Pro Evo 09 is region-free.<br /> <br /> [via <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/20/gc-2008-revised-360-controller-is-limited-edition-promotional/">Joystiq</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/20/curses-d-pad-revision-is-limited-edition-promotional-item/">Curses!
