A console revision can't be too far around the corner. The transforming d-pad came out the same year as the slim.
Looks more like just an innocent ad to me.
I would have though it was just an E3 advert personally.
Edit: Just seen the above link. If that's the only revision I think I'll give it a miss until my current one breaks.
Same. But if they do make a new controller then this is a good time to tease it and unveil it at E3.
Though why? They hyped up the billions of changes to the ergonomics and how this was the best controller ever made ever. It's a fine pad..
It's solid, but oddly limited in scope. No share buttons and botched headset support were both surprisingly backwards for the new platform.
Both consoles had botched headset support at launch.
Every headset comes with an adapter and an adapter allows you to use pretty much any headset on the Xbox One.
Calling a controller with on-board firmware that can be updated, "limited in scope", is kind of stretching the term.
I could see them adding buttons for taking screenshots and video clips. They can also improve on the d-pad, which is better than the 360's, but still not great for fighting games imo.
I don't remember any issues with the PS4's headsets, and software isn't going to fix a hardware issue. MSoft revising the pad says it all, not that the DS4 doesn't need tweaking.
DS4 didnt have issues but the ps4 did have problems with old ps3 Bluetooth headsets.Nothing is perfect but saying that the DS4 didn't have issues with headsets at launch is pretty funny.
This. However, as far as internal batteries go, wii u pro controller has set the bar.Nah.

Right right right, I'm with you now and I agree, both totally should!That's what I'm alluding to, I'm saying both the DS4 and Xbox One should adopt built in audio buttons on the actual controllers.
Woops! My bad, mm not inches, it's 3.5mm, and the 360 controller had a 2.5mm jack.To be honest I never really paid attention to the different sizes. It may be a 2.5 indeed, since it's a "small" one (*edit : and after reading the description page linked above, the unit seems to be mm ). In that case I wonder if 2.5 isn't better than 3.5, since most people have such headsets for their phones and tablets already, if I'm not mistaken.
Anyway, whatever the size, it's still a more common format than whatever they were using on the current controller, so that's an improvement.
I dislike how loose the Xbox One's sticks feel, but perhaps that's something I could get used to. I preferred the higher level of resistance of the S and 360 controllers. Hopefully they tighten them up in the revision.
That doesn't suprise me, look how little it makes the people look.$100M controller.
Because you're not a modern controller until you take away options from gamers.
It's not that bad, once you double tap it saves and Y is basically "are you sure?".
They need console revision as well.
What good is the X1 controller being fully charged if it's constantly having to be re paired to the system? Streamlining the X1 controller with an internal battery or since you like options how about one with an internal battery and one without? You speak of options yet discount others opinion of wanting an internal battery shouldn't that option be taken into consideration?

I like the Xbox One console design. D:
Only thing I would change is to just make it smaller but leave the overall design alone.
What do you mean re paired?What good is the X1 controller being fully charged if it's constantly having to be re paired to the system?

As Long as it's just as quiet.
I seriously can't wait for that 3.5mm jack now. I'll actually be able to use my headset without an adapter. I am saved.
(For a while I wore the X1 mic under my A40s...it's probably worse than you'd imagine)
They're letting us know they might release a new exclusive game soon, so we'll need to dust off our controllers.
If they build in the stereo headset adapter that would be a good start - crazy I can't just plug in normal headphones or a chat headset without paying extra. And fix the horrible bumpers. I'd also like a dedicated power off button that works by IR, even when the controller is turned off. Voice for that command is unreliable for me, and when I've been watching Netflix etc, it is annoying to have to press the xbox button and wait for the controller to sync up before I can turn the xbox off.. But that probably won't happen
Buy this new controller, and put old in new box and refund. *evil laughing*You'd still have to invest in the new controller.
As Long as it's just as quiet.
Oh, I'm hoping for some news at E3. Please. I just can't have the clunky piece of... bad design in my living room.

I hope the "After June 2015 version" is also designed with Windows 10 in mind. Make it the official Windows 10 gamepad, just like the 360 gamepad had been for earlier versions of Windows.
