Because a small girl can't hold the pad ? 18+ is Microsoft's target group for the console. No offence to anyone but she almost cerainly didnt have £300 + to buy the console... The console is probably off because it's half term week and they don't want everybody hanging around it...
By the way Belldandy, did you pick your forum name after a certain female anime character in a series called Ah! My Goddess ? (well, Oh ! My Goddess, over here).
Just wondering :-)
When I first saw one, I could not understand what everybody was complaining about. I was expecting something really big.

Have you held one? I have, at first it seemed very big. But after only a few mintues, you dont know its there. Also people have said that the buttons are hard to reach. There not I could reach all 6 top buttons the 2 triggers and the left analogue stick easy just like the PS2 pad. I dont have large hands, the only people who would find it hard would be 5 year old kids but most teenagers and above would be able to use the controller with ease.
