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 would love to trade a regular for an S controller ...

darkside 10-19-02 08:50 PM

I've got a regular controller thats like new. I would trade for an S with someone.

jiggyblau 10-19-02 09:03 PM

I also would trade my regular for an S. Just email me.

by the way, excellent idea...

I see a trend here. I will trade two regulars for two S controllers.

I have a regular for an S...

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.

Just to add to the onslaught.......I have a regular to trade for an S

This doesn't seem to be working out too well so far. :)

Gallant Pig 10-20-02 09:24 PM

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.

WOWZY 10-20-02 09:25 PM

Seems like it alright. Wonder if the guys who bought an S and said they didn't like it found a game or 2 that it really works well with.

jeffdsmith 10-20-02 10:55 PM

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.

I think the problem is everybody has the regular and wants to trade for the S controler...same thing for me...wanna trade for my regular controler anybody?

If you still have that brand new ORIGINAL controller, I have a New S Controller that I would trade you.

I am in no rush to get the S controller. Would I like to have it, sure. I have had that exta original one since last December so I have had many opportunities to get rid of it. I just haven't had the need for a second controller. So yes I would like to trade for a new controller still in package since that is what I am giving up.

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.

diesteldorf 10-26-02 11:13 PM

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.
