"NEWS X-Box Controllers Incompatible
Sources from Microsoft's X-Box division and independent developers sent a number of e-mails to NCS yesterday after we posted our little FAQ. Unfortunately, Microsoft appears to have mandated that all USA X-Box software titles not recognize any controllers from other territories. Japanese controllers won't work with USA X-Box software.
This policy apparently extends from joypads to future joysticks from the usual suspects such as ASCII and Hori. When and if ASCII manufactures a Fighting Type pad/stick for the Japanese X-Box market, USA gamers won't be able to share in the love. There you have it. The first console to ever completely lock out import controllers. Bravo..."

Controller mit Ländercode. Da vergeht einem das Lachen.
Dabei wollte ich mir die schönen japanischen Controller holen.
Auch die US-Importler stehen vor dem Problem, dass sie die Hardware weiterhin importieren müssen.
aloha, makaha
