    Is it worth the 30 bucks....

    ...to get the xbox controller S for sports games? I have both a ps2 and an xbox and up until recently i've played all my sports games on ps2. I find the regular xbox controller a bit cumbersome for sports gaming (particularly madden and espn fb), is the controller S that much better?

    Thanks

    Before Christmas 03, I had a ps2 since ps2 launch. After Christmas, I sold my ps2 and traded everything in for an xbox and games. I haven't played with the old Xbox controller, my xbox came with the controller S, but I found the switch from ps2 controller to Controller S pretty easy. I like how the d-pad and left joystick are switched around on the Controller S, opposed to the ps2 controller.

        why dont you just drop the 39.00 for the new Logitech wireless....IMHO I think its the best controller Ive ever used and can be had at Wal-mart for this price.

                The S controller to me, is a huge improvement over the original XBox controller. It was one of the reasons I never bought an XBox until recently. (that and the price drop!)

                    I used big controller untill somebody gave me a small for a present. I could still use a big one I guess, but the small one is just about perfect to me. I do know some people who prefer the big controller but most always use the S. It's a much better designed controller, the best part being the black and white buttons are much easier to use,

                        $30? I bought 2 for $20 a pop. But yea, they are way worth it. I used to have two S & 2 big, but my friends hated using the two big so I traded those for a PDA and bought two S's for $40. Well worth it
