A mate at work has purchased an XBox (from SR - on my recommendation), and he's opened it up at work.

Are you all dwarves or something?!

It's not that big! It's hardly any bigger than my PS2!

Also, the pad is really comfortable. But then I liked the DC pad, so that could explain it.

Anyway, shorties, that is all.

You may go now.

Or those that carry the "CAUTION: SMALL PARTS" warning. I have no small parts.

Apart from a "foreign body" on my right hand, that makes it difficult to grip things.

Anyway. Gamecube controller is very comfortable, so is the PS2/PS1 and Dreamcast. And every controller before that apart from the N64. Even the NES controller felt better.

Your index fingers always used to dig right under the armpit of those damn prong things, not nice.

Ah, I didn't hold one on the stand, you see.

I took it out the box, and held it, and thought it was VERY comfortable.

I can see how people with smaller hands may not like it, Ninty's and such...

:-D

I've seen the X-Box, and I agree. It's not that big.

I've also held the controller, and it's crap. I liked the Dreamcast controller.

Perhaps it IS just the way it's been put on the stand. If I could rip it off and hold it properly, it might be ok.

I saw a PS2 for the second time in my life about a month ago, and it looked TINY compared to when I first saw one in HMV

You know why?

Because I'm used to seeing the X-Box, which dwarves EVERYTHING

If the XBox bends over there's an eclipse.

I am actually a dwarf. Short, bearded, fond of beer (quaffing, etc) and I live in a pit (Student accomodation...).
The X-box is huge!
