I recently bought a Controller S from CEX (at the incredibly rip-off price of £40). Why? Cos I'm small - I have small hands, and the normal Xbox controller is a bit uncomfortable.
And what do I have to say for my purchase? It absolutely rocks! It's honestly the best controller of all 3 mainstream consoles, and is easy to use and great to hold. I don't know why it isn't the normal controller, because even people with massive hands would agree with me.
I'm a fool, because you can pick up a Controller S from www.dvdboxoffice.com for around £20 (cheap as chips). And they're really good.

I'll be getting some. I'm fine with the normal controller, but seeing as I'm putting money into one console, it'll be nice to have the variation.
And buying 4 over time will stop any arguements over who has the controller S if my friends prefer it over the normal controller.
I also have the feeling that both controllers will have their strong points over different genres. The different D-pad could make controller S better at things like beat em ups while the normal controller will probably remain the better option for FPS games.
So its a case of Pros being able to interchange their tools. ;-))

Hmmm, I might get one - it does look to have a slightly better button design, but the standard controller is fine.

Because by the sounds of it, he wanted the best controller of the 3 mainstream consoles. ;-)
Have you got a PS2? You could have just bought an adapter thingy if you do.
Oh well.
