The leaked Xbox 360 pics keep on coming. The latest is a close up shot of the new console’s controller that gives us a good look at that little silvery thing in the middle, which besides sporting the Xbox 360’s logo, is also supposed to be some new kind of button or something or other.

meh,
I was a big fan of the old BIG X-Box controller, mostly cause my hand is very big but aside from that the design looks quite nice but the actual quality of the controller looks like dump...hopefully this is a cheap prototype and not the real thing

The HiDef games will make it OK.

Might the "some new kind of button or something or other" be an indicator to show which controller you are on the Xbox (the numbers 1-4 are printed around the logo).

That's what I reckon.

The number will highlight in multiplayer games, so you know what screen you are on.

It's been confirmed that the button will provide instant access (no matter what you're doing, even playing a game) to Dashboard-related features like the Friends list and Soundtrack player.

Don't rule out that these leaks *could* just be an elaborate hoax. I'm gonna reserve the rest of my opinion until the official release.

#3.1 Zepolcire on 10 May 2005 - 17:18

Im with Erich. I think this is some kind of elaborate fake setup. Until I hear something official, im not saying anything. Other than I don't like the way that box looks. But that's it.

i personally like it, everyone seems to hate everything about the new design but i personally like it

#5 beardly on 10 May 2005 - 16:10

Not bad, I'll have to wait until it is released before I can really tell.

what are those 3 inputs at the bottom? 1 circular surrounded by 2 funky shaped input.

maybe the new button swivels like the D-pad

#6.1 Gism0 on 10 May 2005 - 16:44

i'm guessing it's for the xbox live headset

#7 Crompee on 10 May 2005 - 16:31

The middle X button will be to regain the wireless connection (if lost)

or to access the xbox live menu.

Any ideas as to what them things are in the middle of the controller at the bottom? Is it the xbox live headphone jack?

#8.1 John on 10 May 2005 - 16:55

Possibly for a charing unit. Since the controllers are wireless, they'll have to be recharged once in a while.

Engadget had this for quite a few days, neowin just saw it today?

#10 XiXora on 10 May 2005 - 16:54

well, i think as the controllers are wireless i think its to highlight which controller number it is.
you dont have physical ports so how else do you know what controller you are?
