Microsoft has lifted the lid on a redesign for the controller.

The new controller will arrive on November the 9th according to Microsoft's Larry Hryb.

Slick publicity shots of the new controller show a suave silver colour scheme with more comfortable concave thumbsticks and new grey and black X, Y, A and B buttons.

Microsoft has also redesigned the D-pad as a shiny silver raised cross rather than the current disc design.

The controller will be bundled with a play and charge kit for the princely sum of 64.99 USD. details are yet to be confirmed.

Thanks 1UP.
