BenHeck’s 3600 Controller: Part Xbox 360, part Atari 2600
CrunchGear — ... 2600 shell. The result is this, the 3600 Controller. Mr. BenHeck calls this latest creation a “quick, fun project.” That is, it’s not one of his more “epic” deals.

I recommend World of Goo if you’re looking for one of those. via Xbox-Scene

Be sure to hit up the link below for a must-see video of the controller in action and, of course, plenty more pics. [Via Xbox-Scene] ...
