I got an Xbox when it had its first price drop a couple months after release. It came with the big controller. What is it's nickname again? the brute or something?? When the S controller came out, I bought one, but didn't like it. I now have a 360. After a couple months with it, I broke out my old Xbox to play Psychonauts. I tried to play with the big controller and hated it. I guess it's what you get used to.

Yes, the first one was big, but I didn't mind... as long as I can use it and while it didn't fit nicely in my hands, I still played many games with it

I hated those controllers, they were too big and the buttons were all crooked, they're one of the reasons why I didn't get an Xbox when it first came out

Yeah it was called "The Duke" . Horrible controller design. Couldnt reach the b/w buttons easily. And why did the analogs have difffernt grips?

I love the duke. I still use it for Halo, but do prefer the S for non-fps games.

I have a small one and a large one, and I only use the large one if I'm playing with someone else, cuz it sucks.

Yeah, the og controllers were huge(I own one) and it is extremely hard to use seeing that the buttons are tittled at an angle, opposed to S controller which has them straight aligned. I tried to use the old one which works perfect but to hard for me cuz I'm use to new ones. Prefer the S over old one.

seriously tho, i still prefer the original controller.  i bought an s type wireless, and it was pretty good, but the batteries kept dying and the controller would be unresponsive at stupid times.  eventually went back to using the big one.

yeah, I guess it just depends on which one you used in the first place. The big ones seem to be more efficinet when it comes to gameplay, but the S control fits better when handling( but the buttons do tend to give out after long usuage i.e. buttons become loose or stuck and dont respond well).
