    I love my Xbox 360, but when it comes to games that require using the D-Pad, I always opt for my PS3.  The Playstation controller has better ergonomics for D-Pad-optimized games like fighters, classic titles, etc. This is why i am intrigued by Microsoft's new swiveling controller redesign. The new D-Pad can be rotated 90 degrees to change it from being a concave pad to a more pronounced cross. My only hesitation about picking one up when it launches on November 9th is the steep $64.99 price point.
