That controller helps support the following theory:
A modern console is approximately as large as two of it's controllers.

Consoles that fit this:
PS2
PS
GC
N64
Genesis
Dreamcast
And I'm presuming the Xbox. (I don't have one)

My hands are normal sized and the controller sucks. I like the S-Controller much better, the other is just too big, everyone I know has said the same thing.

I like the original controller as well. I keep one for myself while friends use the "S" controllers.

:thumbsup: Original Controller > S Controller

White & Black, Back & Start placement sucks on the S Controller..whereas on the original it's a lot more manageable.

The S controller is a little more comfortable if you don't intend on using the black or white buttons. However for games like Dead or Alive, you kinda need it.

You can't. Microsoft stopped production on them well over a year ago due to the whiny little girlie men. The odds of you finding backstock somewhere now is practically nil. You're just going to have to find a nice used one - and no you can't have any of my 4 Dukes. :)

Also, someone said something about a console being the size of two of its controllers - and it's mostly true. It's a throwback to the Nintendo Famicom, where the two controllers were actually stored on the top of the system. Whether it's deliberate or not, I dunno.

I can't think of a single game i play that i don't use the black and white buttons.
