New controller

[JordanZ]

If the new controller is compatible with the viking chip what price could we expect it to be?

ALSO: Should I buy the controller during the sale now or wait and see if the new controller will work with it.
2nd ALSO: What are the differences besides colors and the D-pad?

I guess for the first question it's up to you how much you like the new controller. $160 for black one right now with the coupon is a great deal. I have been going back and forth whether I should take up this offer. Still have over a week to think about it. But will probably wait for the word on the new controller. People has stated that they don't like the look of the new controller. But I personally like it. I don't think I ever had to look at the controller to see what button to push when a game tells me to push the blue button.

From what I read. They say it will have an improved pnc with a new battery with longer life. Up to an extra of 10 hours.

This is where I read this:

Very informational! I don't play over 10 hours at a time so I believe the battery won't effect me at all.

The thumb sticks look different, I wonder how much they would effect anything.
I might actually stick with the normal 360 controller because it is what I am used to.

Did you guys get your hands on this controller yet? Any word on if this controller will be available at Viking? I have not seen the controller for sale yet at any of my local stores. Just on Amazon for $52-54.

Every time a company says it's in stock and we try to order it, they put our order on hold and tell us to call their specialist... (which means they don't really have it in stock). No word yet.

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess more waiting for me.
