Xbox Controller S

Although I don't own my own Xbox - I always play someone else's because I already own a PS2, I never-the-less feel obligated to add my thoughts on the matter. The new Xbox controller S is one sleek piece of equipment - FAR superior to that original monstrousity of a controller those idiots at Microsoft initially came up with (it was that super ugly, gigantic, and clunky original controller that turned me off from buying the Xbox when it came out). The new controller S is visually appealing to the eyes. Although the PS2 controller is still slightly more attractive, the controller S is an extremely close second. The controller s is smaller and handier than the original, has easier to use controls, and is VERY comfortable to grip. Just compare the different controllers of Xbox, PS2,and Gamecube by holding them in your hands, and fiddling around with the controls. You will see that the Xbox controller S has the nicest fit of them all on the palms of your hands (the Gamecube is the least comfortable). Ironically the controller S was originally designed for the Xbox release in Japan because the original controller was deemed too big for Japanese players. I really think those folks at Microsoft should plan things a little better before jumping in to the game....

I didn't mind this controller at all in the beginning. But after playing Galaga for a while, the thumb gets quite tiring since we have to press the A button quickly for the entire game. I play the same game on GC, it's easier and I get higher scores. I wish there's even a smaller version of the Xbox controller that's designed with women and kids in mind. My conclusion -- do NOT play Galaga type games on Xbox, play it on GC or PS2 :)

when i got my xbox i got 2 controllers as well and yesterday when i got my first multiplayer xbox game one of the controllers broke down. i dont know if it was infected or if it broke because of all the times i got pissed off at losing mlb slugfest and threw the controller really hard on the ground but if your gonna get this: dont throw the controoler and dont mix up the wires like the dumbass that iam and since i live in the middle of nowhere (la paz, bolivia) and even if you do live in any other city in the world buy a back up controller. and if its my xobx i guess all throw my xbox to the ground as well.
