I have been playing Xbox since the day it came out and I always use the original xbox controllers. I do not like the other ones and I can not play with them. They have to start making the original controllers again. If I cant use the original ones for Xbox 2 I will suck at every game I ever buy for Xbox 2. Anyone else like the original controller more then the other kinds?

I personally think it's too big, but I think that with the percentage of people that like the bigger controller, Microsoft would be foolish not to allow it's use with Xbox 2.

Haven't stopped using the 'Duke' since I got my XBOX. I mean the name alone is worth using it. Say it, 'Duke', it brings such coolness to mind. Plus the fact that the button layout is just better than that of the S, or I'm just more used to it. Either way the only thing I can think of using the S for is fighting games cause it has a better d-pad.

I swear by the good ol' Duke controller. Anything else just feels like I could crush it with my bare hands.

I've never used a duke, so I wouldn't know. I personally, like the Gamester controller, but I'm fine with the Controler S.

F-you, bumper.

Anyway, I really liked the original controller but it broke early on, so I moved to the small Mad Cats controller with the Macro button (I still don't know what said button is used for).

Mad Cat? We have one of those somewhere, it's so damn small. My 4ft 11 friend used a Mad Cat. He was never very good at Halo either.

I love the original controller, and I would want a similiar one for xbox 2. However, I don't want them to remake them for original Xbox, since they feel like more of a collector's item ^_^

I really don't like the "fattie" original xbox controllers, I've always used the s-controllers because they're smaller and more comfortable. I think they should use a similar design for xbox 2.

I like 'the Duke' controllers because they are more spaced out, and you don't feel like you are going to break itr or hit 2 buttons.

The big Duke controller most definitely should be in production again. I have always stood by it and it has never failed me once.

My brother brought my nephew an X-Box for Christmas so I came over to play it with him and well.. he's got the S-Controller. I thought to myself, this controller is CRAP. Yes, all caps. C-R-A-P.

Thank God I have two dukes in my possession.

I don't care if they make them or not. I personally can't use them. The white and black button are just in the wrong spot for me.

When they made the the duke controller they had reached perfection. No need to change it.
