I started with the big controller on my friends Xbox but when I got mine it came with an S controller so that's what I use now.

the big controller is known as the Duke. The Duke is no longer the official controller for the xbox. it used to be, but then got replaced by the S controller as the official controller.

however, those who grew to love it can still buy it, but it is not the official controller. big woop! so what if it's not official; it still rules the S anyday

I'm just sayin that cuz I was one of the first people to get an Xbox and I spent hundreds of hours on my Duke.

Maybe in your geographic location.

2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Xbox S is better. I gotta pull the left trigger with my left foot and I gotta headbutt the analog stick to crouch when I use the biggun.

I know I live in Northern Wisconsin; don't remind me. Hey, it's better here than you think.

I am subscribed to OXM (Official Xbox Magazine) and they commonly refer to it as the "Duke". I have heard this many times, and simply say it because they know what they are talking about.

Hey, you like the S because your puny hands cannot sustain the excellence of the Duke.

I, on the other hand have big enough hands to harness the greatness of the Duke. Hey, you know what they say about guys with big hands...

The best part about the Xbox is that it's actually inspired it's own culture within cultures. Just looking at the people that I play with from Northern Washington State and how everyone locally plays in my area, it's funny how differently everything is called, pronounced, etc. etc.

Hell, we have names for all the areas of the maps, nicknames for playstyles and weapons, etc. etc., and they are different from almost everyone else's. Fatty Controllers, Russel Rock, what "The Big L" really means, the mythology and terminology all has different origins, which is really cool.

I was just making a joke about the size. I have big hands, but I don't like where the black and white buttons where placed on the Duke. I never got to use the Duke until after I had been playing with the S for six months. It's kinda hard to get used to the Duke after you play that long with an S. Besides, all I have now are S's and they let me school my opponent just fine in a game of Halo.

I know, I know. I'm not being an ignorant retard. It's just fun to B.S. with each other.

btw, if B.S. is culturally different and you can't understand it, it means Bull $hit, which is an expression for something that isn't true, or something outragiously stupid.

See, that was another example of BSing with each other. It's kinda hard to get the right feel to it over the internet, though.

Actually the big controller is called the Duke. it was its code name when it was in developement. Just like the Xbox 2 is codenamed Xenon. So its not just a nickname.

The big controller stomps the ass of the little controller. I don't why they quit making it. The small one is just stupid! Excuse me if my hands are bigger then the average fifteen year old Japanese girl. Geez.
