    New 360 Controller, Services Surveyed

    Xbox Live subscribers found themselves e-grilled by Microsoft on some future products, from new wireless controllers to tons of Xbox Live functionality.

    First, about those controllers. They show off a new "premium color", backlit Xbox 360 gamepad and ask just how much you're willing to pay for it.

    How interested are you in purchasing a wireless controller [...] assuming it will include backlist, A, B, X, Y buttons, rubber grips, a premium color, and slightly improved d-pad performance and cost $59-$69?

    On top of that gem, they also hint at a controller attachable mini-keyboard for in game text messaging and a classic wireless joystick for, presumably, Xbox Live Arcade retro titles.

    For possible Live services, they tout streaming internet radio, iTunes style music downloads, downloadable and streamable standard-def television shows and movies, and tons more. They even include preliminary pricing, just to see how much you're willing to pony up on top of that $50 a year you're paying. Check out Xboxic for the full scoop.
