Original Xbox controller may return for Halo Anniversary demos

Duke Nukem returned this week, and is basically obsolete.

Now, in honor of the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary remake, 343 Industries is considering resurrecting another long-dead Duke: the hulking, maligned original Xbox controller.

Producer Alison Stroll told Giant Bomb that the studio is talking with expert modders (your Ben Heck types) about producing some working Xbox 360 controllers in original "Duke" controller shells. They won't be mass-produced or anything -- if you want to get your hands almost all the way around one, the controllers are planned to be hooked up to demo units at the Halo Fest being held in Seattle alongside PAX, and then sold at the annual Child's Play auction.

*sad face* I want one... Too bad, too. I bet they would have sold decently.

That would be the biggest mistake ever - the original xbox controller was obnoxious and far too big
