Take it from one who knows, it’s for real, real shape, real controller, but not made by microsoft.

It is an excellent design of controller.

Would you fit your car with anything other than round wheels when you know that it’s a tried and tested design?

Yep the British army does indeed use a 360 controller in their adverts like Louis said and they advertise it on TV, doing a close up on the controller so just accept it. i dont see why people are hell bent on believing its not real, the world wont end from this so stop crying.

look, in england(where i am) we have an advert for the british army, and in the advert, they use a spy plane to look over some troops, and that is controlled by an x-box 360 controller….so i dunno why u think its fake wen we use it for silly things like that….

I hope they just use the controller and don’t try to use the console for anything because it’s the most unreliable system I’ve ever seen. I’m on my third X360 in six months…

It looks like the soldier is holding the controller by its wire in the top picture.

They are wearing black gloves so the hands are not very visible. If he was holding the controller itself then it would have portions obscured by the glove.

It looks just like a controller being dangled by its cord.
