Xbox One controller contest — Microsoft wants your designs

The Xbox One isn’t even out yet — it hits stores this Friday — but Microsoft already wants fans to help give part of the new gaming console a makeover.

The company is planning a contest that invites players to come up with their own look for the face of the Xbox One controller. Starting Nov. 21, Microsoft will open the contest on its website (it won’t be live until Thursday), and amateur or professional graphic designers will find a template they can use to get all artistic on the new joypad.
