The old Xbox controller, big, fit in your hands perfectly, and it looks great.
The controller S, smaller, looks better then the old one, and still fits great in your hands...

So what is better, i currently own a controller S and i am planning on getting a new controller, but should i get a controller S or go for the old big one... Im just not too sure because if i get the big one people will moan and say that it is too big and ugly, but if i get the S one then XBOX owners say that they suck and that they are too small...
Apparently they made the controller for japan because they have small hands, but weather that is true or not...
So what would you reccomend me getting, a big or small controller, and what one is better...
I think the controller S is the best...

The Japanese have small hands because they have small genitals. COME ON PEOPLE, HE SPOON FED THAT ONE TO YOU!!!!

Anywho, I prefer the Controller S. Nicer buttons which're easier to reach and press than the oval pieces of toss on the normal pad. Plus the d-pad IS actually a d-pad on the S and it's easier to determine which direction you're pressing. And the smaller pad is more comfortable to use, especially over prolonged sessions.

Heh. I always liked the PC gaming style where you couldn't see the other players movements and location. Plus having a screen all to yourself is the mutts nuts. And the having a screen all to yourself while playing a team game on-line with a mate playing next to you would rock.

Thats one Fuped up dream. :)

I like using Controller S when I can round my mates house, think its a bit better. I have 4 controllers, one if the is currently A.W.O.L however, my nob brother lent it to someone and I don't think I'll be seeing it again.

I mite buy a Controller S then to make 4. Again.

You're insane, why on earth would you buy 2 Xbox's?

Only reason I could think of would be if you had a very large family or your friends were constantly attached to your side so you always had someone to play with.

Link up and online gaming! Brute Force is worth getting a nother xbox on its own. I also want to play TS2, Halo, Whacked, Serious Sam, Ghost Recon and Unreal Championship through link up.

Getting 2/3 Xboxes online is still the dream though.
