Xbox
The Xbox Joypad Most gamers know that one of the most important parts of a gaming system is the controller, and Microsoft nailed that with the Xbox's Joypad. to design this ultimate controller they asked hardcore gaming everywhere what they wanted out of a console controller. most people said that they liked the dreamcast controller but that the design wasn't very exciting or interesting. also they thought that the dual shock was cool but too small. many people I have heard have said that the Joypad looks like a rip off of dreamcast. that is pretty much true. Although they ditched the VMUs this controller is very similiar to the dreamcast controller. why ditch the VMUs? microsoft said that when people play the dreamcast they never have time to look at them and the screen anyway and this will keep the cost of memory cartridges down. They also changed the controller to be more form fitting and contoured to the hand. |

The New Console
This new green console machine is possibly the next thing in console gaming. So why is it green? Horace Luke who crafted the look of the Xbox said "The Xbox is green because that's the only marker I had with me when I started sketching my designs." The people that are making the Xbox want to give the gamers what they want, including 9 foot cables for the controllers, recording your own sound tracks onto the game, and a controller that is easily used.|
