Upcoming Xbox 360 Skateboard Controller Lets You Shred, Fight The Man, Retake Geometry For the Third Time
Posted by Jason Chen at 7:00 AM on May 2, 2008
Actiga's partnering with Microsoft to make officially sponsored third-party wireless peripherals, the first of which is a skateboard controller. It's going to be compatible with the latest skating games, presumably, but there haven't been any compatibility announcements yet. What Actiga is going to follow this up with is unclear, but we'd think maybe a gun controller for all the FPS games, or a...yeah there's pretty much mostly shooter games on the 360. [Kotaku]

@rndmideas: And of the "Duke" variety, as well. Do you have to hold it while using the board part?
If so, change ravedown's comment to "walk outside and learn to ride an actual skateboard while holding two russet potatoes."

So, is this a controller for "Skate or Die", from 1987? Because that's the right shape for the board then.
Seriously, 99% of modern skateboards don't look like that. And the big "X" is sweet too...10 years ago.

@rndmideas: That is obviously a witty picture illustrating the premise, not the actual product.
