"Controller "S"? hahaha" , posted Wed 6 Mar 00:41:

From Magic Box:

- Microsoft announced that they will release a new redesigned XBox controller called Controller S, which is scheduled to release in US on April 30, for $39.99. The Controller S will be smaller in size, and the button and control sticks placements are also slightly modified.

And here's the controller's picture: http://www.geocities.com/chtang.geo/Mar/xboxcs.jpg

Wow, the Japanese controller was out in Japan for all of what, a week? I guess people were all importing their controllers from Japan rather than buying them from Microsoft, so they finally got a clue. Now the only question left is, what does the "S" stand for? Knowing Microsoft it's either meaningless or it stands for something dumb like "small". Discuss.

In case you weren't aware, there was an uproar over the rumors that XBOX would have a region lockout for peripherals(ppl REALLY hate the US pad). Even Gamespot and IGN reported on it. The rumors eventually became false though.

The way I see it, M$ is merely lookin to cash in on this opportunity.

Yeah, sounds like Microsoft is trying to up their profits by selling these controllers to everyone who got stuck with the original crappy US one. I mean, they had to know that no one would like the original - a company as large (in the $$$ sense) as Microsoft surely did a crap load of market research/hands on testing before deciding on the Xbox details. I wouldn't put it past them to have planned this little stunt all along.

So in that case the 'S' stands for "swindle".

Ehh so I folded and dug up an avatar.. So what?

In the store tests, I found the original controller comfortable...

The new one does look much better designed, though.

Now who want's to go home AND WHO WANTS TO GO WITH ME?!?

I like the Xbox controler for the most part. I wish the buttons were a little farther apart but, it isn't tat bad.

I also found the Xbox controller to be pretty comfortable. It's like a bigger DC pad, and I absolutely LOVE the DC pad.

Yeah is pretty similar to the dc, but why didnt they make it like a sidewinder with an analog? that would have been a bit more easy on the hands

I glad I didn't get an X box yet...the second or third gen X boxes will have the Japanese/S types...better investment.

Seriously...

No disc scratching, better controller...patience is a virtue indeed. That is why I waited for a PS2 for so long...I didn't want to experience all the flaws of the first and second gens...like I did with the first PS.

However I will ALWAYS buy the first series of Sega systems...sega builds thier shit to last a lifetime. Snoogins.

What? You mean you don't own the original Daytona for Saturn? And you call yourself Rolling Start? Shame on you! j/k
But seriously, many of old Sega Saturn games often can be used as excellent VG soundtrack discs... ;)

Actually they've said they don't plan to package the S controller with future consoles... I'm personally thinking of buying a duel shock-->xbox joybox convertor, but haven't found anyone who already has one.
