Where on this lousy rock called Terra can I find new, sealed normal XBoX controllers? Every place has these stupid "Contorller S" but none of the orignal good ones! Why is this?!

I refuse! I liked the old controller. I want more. They must exist, and I will have them. =P ~_^

You can't find them anymore. About a year ago I looked everywhere and finally gave up. Sadly I stared using the S-type after my last "Duke" broke. They aren't really that bad once you get used to them- and now I will use nothing else.

stop cryin' about it, you might have extend you search for them ( look HARDER) Or you could just get used to the s type controllers. they're better anyways.

Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

The Duke is all I use, probably because I have 3 at my house and the 2 S controllers are my brothers. But I don't mind either its just that im not going to let 3 Dukes just sit there and collect dust.

Well I have 2 Dukes but they're Mad Catz which means they suck,Barron's right just get use to the S and end your pain.Plus save money by not buying over priced Duke's on E-bay or somewhere else.

How do you guys break your controllers? And just get used to the S. I used to use nothing but the duke but then my friend made me try an S and I haven't wanted to switch back.

Duke is obsolete. Convert now or fall forever! (he he...chronicles of riddick quote)

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Ah yeah the age old question.

Duke is the -blam!-. End of story.

Also, if you want a brand new one, you like have to do some MAJOR searching for perhaps a warehouse retailer that may have them in storage or then your best bet is then to look for pre-owned ones. In not, Mad Catz has the same design but it is not an offical controller.

Last time I checked, EB had a few used ones, and so did Gamestop. But they were in-store, not online.

I used to have one but in the middle of a sugar packet crazed high I spilled fake blood all over the plug. RIP

I used to have one, but I pushed the crouch button too far in and it broke.
