343 Industries to resurrect Xbox "Duke" controller for Halo Anniversary

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is coming this November. It is the first Halo title from Microsoft's relatively new internal studio dedicated to the Halo franchise, 343 Industries. The Halo experience has been completely remastered in 'Anniversary' and even has an option to switch between the new HD graphics and the classic Xbox 1 graphics. That almost completely brings back that feeling you had playing Halo for the first time. Save for one thing, you may have wanted to forget but that first time, you were wrapping your mits around the original Xbox controller. Affectionately named the "Duke", I also remember it being called the "Hamburger", maybe that was just me though.

343 Industries is trying to rekindle that Halo: Combat Evolved experience by remaking those "Duke" controllers for the Xbox 360. Unfortunately these will only be available at Halo kiosks at Halo Fest happening this August along side PAX. I'd like to think with enough support we could get retail versions of this 360 "Duke". But for the love of god, my nostalgia would not be ruined if the black and white buttons were replace with L and R bumpers.
