Sorry if you have been asked before, but has the controller been changed? I have noticed these changes.

1) The start button used to be a small grey plastic button. It is now slightly bigger and smoother and is red not grey.

2) The 'A' button used to be green. It is now blue.

3) The 'B' button was a tiny red circle before. It is now a green 'jelly bean' shape.

4) The font of the letters on the buttons are now itallic.

5) The wire is now a kinda silver colour, rather than black.

6) The controller arms are slightly shorter.


Well, I expect you all know about this already, or do you? Could you clear this up? Cheers :)

Yep, they've been using the wrong pictures for months and months. The controller that you mention was never released, even though it looks better.

This controller you describe was a prototype of the controller that we use now.

So infact, the one you describe was, say, Version 1. The one GC owners have is Version 2.

Sorted.
