That, and the fact you may only buy it online from Performance Designed Products. Promotional copy says this controller represents Clu, the dictator of the Tron world in Tron: Legacy. Functionally speaking, this is a wired controller, but that does appear to be the super-swivel action kung-fu grip directional pad at lower left.
Site says the availability is “late December” but we’re told it’s available in time for the film’s premiere this weekend.

No it doesn’t. It’s just a regular plus-shaped d-pad.

Friday, December 17, 2010 at 11:15 PMEven though I’m not that into Tron, I would kill for that controller. It looks absolutely beautiful and apart from the fact is wired, is perhaps the most perfect controller I have ever seen in my entire life.
PERFECT.

I just dont get why its wired when it is actually a Microsoft endorsed controller.
I know they don’t allow third parties etc.. but this is different.
