Chrome Xbox 360 Controllers Coming Mid-May

The new controllers feature the transforming D-Pad.

Those in the market for a new Xbox 360 controller will have a few more options come mid-May. Microsoft is planning to release a Chrome series of their controllers, which features a glossy red, blue, or silver finish. Retailing at $54.99, the controllers will all feature the transforming D-Pad, which gives players two modes of operation. In its default position it will operate just like the D-Pad on the standard Xbox 360 controller, but when turned, it does a better job of sensing the cardinal directions.

Play Bastion on Chrome

The XBLA/PC game can now be played straight in your browser.

Google's new "Native Client" technology allows high-end programs to run directly from the Chrome browser window. Many developers can use this to allow programs that normally would need to run off of a computer directly to run off an internet browser, which is more flexible. Furthermore, Chrome will store your game saves in the cloud, allowing you to pick up and play the game from a Chrome browser on any computer, with any operating system.
