You can always try shops that sell second-hand goods. Some games stores buy people's XBOX stuff (I wonder why people sell them in the first place, XBOX is great!), and then sell them off to anyone who wants them.
They have a huge storage area and all you have to do is ask at the main desk if they have ......... (in this case a Duke controller) and they went out back and got me one.
I got 1 Duke controller and 1 S-type for £31 (£16 each, both retail at £24) and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. Some people just didn't want an XBOX anymore and traded it in for cash or something else from the shop.
The reason I bought 2 new controllers is because I broke my old Duke controller (the wire pulled out and frayed, eventually breaking). I only had a crappy unofficial controll and anyone who has tried one know they really suck. I wasn't going to put up iwht using one of those, so I went out and bought the second-hand controllers.
