The other day a select few Xbox Live users were contacted by Microsoft for a little survey fun. And yes I agree with you, normally surveys are yawn inducing, but this survey was extra special as it revealed new products and ideas Microsoft has been planning. Xbox Live users were asked their opinion on various new products including an arcade joystick, a mini keyboard that connects to your controller, a premium black controller, a web browser, and a rundown of various pricing options for new content and media. I know I'd love to get my hands on that sexy black controller, but which of these new products would you like to see hit retail?[Thanks, to everyone who sent this in]

21. Ooh, keyboard would be nice, as would a wireless arcade style joystick like the DOA one. A web browser would definitely require a keyboard otherwise it's going to be a nightmare.
Controllers in different colors would be nice, but d-pad operation should be good as standard, not some sort of luxury item. They really need to get a good d-pad solution going. I wonder if it's possible to transplant a Nintendo one into the 360 controller with a Dremmel, some duct tape and a bit of luck?
