Xbox controller swapping with other members.
Since there are so many people unhappy with the original controllers and many that are unhappy with the S controller that they purchased. Maybe we could have a well organized trading system here in this forum that would let Xbox owners have the controller they want instead of having to fork out any more money than they have to.
I did this a couple of weeks ago with a friend of mine after I bought a controller and didn't like it. It saved me $40 and saved him $30. After the trade I thought that there would be alot of people on this forum who would benefit from this.
Just a thought.

I still have a regular controller, brand new in the packaging from when I got my XBOX as a bundle last year. I doubt it, but if someone has an S controller brand new in the packaging then I would be willing to trade.

This might work in a year from now if they continue packaging the S with the console for now on. Otherwise until recently you had to go out of your way to get an S and the people who are buying the console now either like the S or don't want to trade their brand new controller for a used original.

I was under the impression that several of the members here did have an S but preferred the original. I guess they must have just played with it at a friends or something.
If it means anything to anyone the controller I have (regular) is brand new.

Notice how out of all of the people in this thread who were offering up their controllers, diesteldorf chose me because it was still in the package, and I don't blame him.

Yes, it is still in the package (sealed in plastic). It hasn't been used to play games. I've only held it in my
hands a couple of times to realize that the ORIGINAL is more comfortable for me.
