The s controller is superb. No 3rd party controller comes close.
I wish I could use it on my PS2 as well as my XBox. I really like the Dual Shock, but Microsoft hit the nail on the head when they designed the s.

Do they still make the original controller? I haven't seen one for a while in the stores.

Speaking of the big one, did they stop making them, I need to get a fourth controller, and almost everyone only has the small controller.

Speedyray - I have my original pack-in pad, which I replaced immediately with an S and never really used. I hate it. If you really need to hunt one down, make me an offer. I can put the money towards another S. :-)

I love the fat controller too.
However, recently I purchased that X-men 3-D Fighter and I 've found the S controller a better fit.

I love the larger controller, so I've checked into this. I also thought it had been discontinued, but it hasn't. It's just that many large retailers don't carry it anymore.

I just recently converted to the Controller "S" from the original "fatty" one. Having all three systems, I just found it was an easier transition going from a GC controller - Dual Shock - Controller S. I did like the original controller, but after playing the other two systems for a while, and then coming back to it, it just felt enormous.

If I am wrong no biggie, it happens. I am not an all knowing game god like some here but I think I read somewhere about this.

I could be wrong too, but I was at Electronics Boutique a couple weeks ago when they got a shipment in. I was surprised, and asked if they were still being made. I was told they were. Also, I can't find any information on the Xbox website to prove otherwise. I like the old controller, and I know I'm not the only one. I think it's in Microsoft's best interest to keep making them.
Like I said though, I could be wrong.

I love the S controller, with 1 caveat... it sucks for 6 button arcade fighters.... but I like it better than most control pads, as long as I am not playing a Capcom 2D fighter.
