Xbox controllers not compatible with Xbox 360

360 News | You might as well throw out all your old controllers now.
IGN have currently published that Microsoft has revealed that the Xbox 360 will not be compatible with peripherals from the current generation Xbox.

This really shouldn't cause too much of a problem, however, as the 360 controller features almost the same layout (the black/white buttons would have to be remapped to two of the shoulder buttons). The main drawback here is that to play any 4 player game on Xbox 360 you're going to need to buy 4 new controllers.

However, this dosen't mean some 3rd party companies won't develop an Xbox USB converter that will allow current Xbox controllers to function with the Xbox 360.

Hang on what about a third party adapter?

Really?

*pities all the people who still thought they could plug the XBOX controller into 360 without an adapter*

I thought this was pretty obvious considering there were no ports in which regular Xbox cotrollers could be plugged in the X360...
