Now about this Steel Battalion controller. After first learning of it, I wanted to see it. I have little desire to play the game, nor do I even own an Xbox, but for whatever reason, vast and unknowable, I had to see it. Lamentably, I was unable to loose even the tiniest datum on the subject from the Internet's vast store of knowledge. I even went so far as to indirectly contact a FOAF who works in the same building as the Xbox team, and not even he had seen this contraption. Curses!

Fortunately, my dearest friend Lilly possesses such exquisite ontological skills that with the merest brushing of her fingertips upon a keyboard she was able to conjure up such fantastical images that tears welled up in my eyes and fell as if a gentle rain.

Update: IGN is lame. I can't link to their page, so you'll have to type the URL into your location bar by hand: <http://xbox.ign.com/articles/362/362157p1.html>. Jerk-butts.

Update: Alex points out that you can also see the controller here, albeit only as part of a larger image.
