360 get another retail tilt mod: the BestTilt


Whether or not you think the Xbox 360 needs motion control is irrelevant, because somebody wants to sell it to you. First there was the DIY tiltBoard that was picked up by Talismoon for mass production. Now Xbox-Scene informs us that Team Xtender is jumping into the fray with its tilt mod, the XCM BestTilt. The video above shows the BestTilt in action. Team Xtender boasts that their tilt modification bests other offerings with its simple plug and play operation. We like the idea, but there appears to be some lag between tilt input and game output. We weren't thrilled with Team Xtender's XFPS keyboard and mouse adapter, so we suggest you wait on some reviews before you lay down your money for the BestTilt.

There doesn't appear to be a product listing for the BestTilt at Team Xtender's website yet, so price and release date remain unknown.

Tilt control on the 360 for the masses


Everyone knows that the Wii and (to some lesser extent) PS3 controllers have motion controlled goodness, but what about our 360? Well, if you are yearning for some sort of motion controlled experience then today we have good news. The tiltBoard (as seen in the demo above) will soon be mass produced by Talismoon and will be available in the not too distant future. If you aren't familiar, the tiltBoard allows control over the d-pad and left thumb stick simply by tilting the controller in the direction you choose. It's a nifty little project that could be a big hit if priced just right. Though, we couldn't imagine tilting to ten kills in Gears, so we'll leave it to the racing fans. Anyone interested?

Tilt mod for wireless Xbox 360 controller


Adam Thole, modder extraordinaire, just finished his newest project. He has successfully modded a wireless Xbox 360 controller to include a tilt function. It looks like the tilt option replicates the movement of the left analog stick and can be easily turned on and off via a switch. He also states that he'll be posting a how-to video on his site soon for those of you who are confident in your modding abilities ... or you could always buy it from him. Check out the mod and writeup after the jump.
