Big Button Controller Up-Close

by JW

Last night during the Microsoft Press Conference, Jeff Bell unveiled the Xbox 360 incarnation of the party game “Scene It”. In addition to telling us about the game, he showed us a new controller designed specifically for the game.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is that controller.

For now the only game being designed for the controller is Scene It, but I can see this controller being used for other board game-type titles in the future, ala Monopoly.

As for now, though, the controller will NOT be sold independently. For $60, the price of a normal Xbox 360 title, you can get both the controller and Scene It.
