  11. nick luongo says

    December 16, 2014 at 6:55 pm

    The first version was deemed "the lunch tray" by my friends and me. Sucker was huge!

  12. Samouser says

    December 16, 2014 at 6:56 pm

    +SID JAY The look of it has changed very little, which it what I'm referring to

  13. Robert Morin says

    Yep. I kind of followed the Xbox Franchise throughout its 13 year history, and it seems that while the X360 S Controller is probably the most comfortable, and easy to use, I've yet to give an Xbox One a whirl! Might consider that maybe either after tax refund, or next holiday season.

  23. Densel Moore says

    December 16, 2014 at 9:14 pm

    +Potato School the first 2 are for the original xbox, people did like the first controller because it was soo fat, so they slime it down.

    Xbox sucks

  35. Damon Harrison says

    December 16, 2014 at 11:03 pm

    The first Xbox controller looks like it would be an hassle for me to the handle it good thing I had a GameCube at the time and didn't get an Xbox until 360 came out.

  36. Mark Gamble says

    December 16, 2014 at 11:03 pm

    Lol Xbone wan sucks ma dick

  37. Damon Harrison says

    December 16, 2014 at 11:08 pm

    +Mark Gamble I'm pretty sure Xbox is an inanimate object that can't suck dick.

  38. kyle armitage says

    December 16, 2014 at 11:15 pm

    Best controller was the 360, only thing that needed fixing was the d-pad

  39. Damon Harrison says

    December 16, 2014 at 11:16 pm

    IKR that thing fits perfectly in my hands that's why I'm getting the pro controller when I get the Wii U.

  40. Sékou I says

    Any have any Xbox live trial codes ?

    Now let's get a playstation controller up in this

  42. Landon Mauk says

    December 16, 2014 at 11:49 pm

    Looking back the 360 has an ugly controller.

  43. Landon Mauk says

    December 16, 2014 at 11:50 pm

    +Damon Harrison I recently bought an original Xbox and both controler. The large controler does indeed Suck. But there was something nice about the layout of any.

  44. malik base tech says

    December 17, 2014 at 12:31 am

    Yeahhhhh

  45. nick luongo says

    December 17, 2014 at 12:32 am

    +Robert Morin I honestly didn't like the xbox one controller at first. The triggers felt off and too wide and the bumpers seemed further away… But after using it for just a little bit, I find it very comfortable. The bumpers actually curve to the sides a bit so you can tap them with the edge of your pointer finger without taking them off the triggers. Plus the D-pad is amazing now.
    Only thing I don't like is how the joysticks move… The 360 controller sticks were nice and tight, whereas these have too much give. You have to push them half way in any direction to get feedback… I hope they fix this

    Playstation controller has hardly changed

    I think it is very good.

  49. Matthew Arnold says

    December 17, 2014 at 2:09 am

    Anybody miss, not the very first one, but the second one? For the first Xbox? With the start and select on the left side? God that was a good controller.

  50. rick santos says

    December 17, 2014 at 2:10 am

    they should keep up with technology touchscreen control.

    Should be a little slower, just a tad.
    Just so I can see the controller evolving a little smoother.

  70. James E. Chadwick says

    December 17, 2014 at 7:43 am

    +Brandon Lay The S controller, or something. They came out with that a little while after the XBox was released because the original controller was a gigantic, horrible mess.

  87. James Lee says

    December 17, 2014 at 10:05 am

    While I've always loved the Dual Shock 4 is th e best Playstation controller yet, the Xbox 360 and One controllers have always seemed more comfortable

  88. Abdurrahman Ibrahim says

    December 17, 2014 at 10:21 am

    360 the best

  89. nick luongo says

    December 17, 2014 at 10:34 am

    Yeah think the dual shock 4 controller is awesome. Sony really fixed a lot. Bigger, actual triggers now, concave rather than friggin rounded joysticks and they are spread apart further… BUT, the offset sticks are so much more natural feeling to me. That design alone makes me love the xbox controller.
    Btw, anyone know why Microsoft named the console "xbox"?

  90. Film Buff says

    December 17, 2014 at 10:36 am

    How is the Xbox One controller? I'm buying one for Christmas.

  91. Muhammad Masood says

    December 17, 2014 at 11:05 am

    The Xbox One Controller is the best Gaming Controller in existence. However, the PS4 has better hardware, and that's it.

  92. brandon balmer says

    December 17, 2014 at 11:06 am

  102. Matthew Klett says

    December 17, 2014 at 4:12 pm

    It went from bad (original) to good(Xbox 360) to worst(Xbox one) the 360 controller was perfect. Sticking with the Xbox 360 controller would have saved on cost for the consumer and producer.

  103. Paul Spoerry says

    December 17, 2014 at 4:27 pm

    I welcomed the Xbox controller when it was released for the same reason Japan didn't like it is why I DID like it… it was bigger. Our hands are typically slightly larger and having the larger control is more comfortable.

  104. Αποστολης Τζανακης says

    December 17, 2014 at 4:29 pm

    Nothing coolest than the original xbox

  105. Colling Smith says

  114. Mark McDonald says

    December 18, 2014 at 6:50 am

    Damn, I remember the original Xbox, lots of cool times playing Halo with my Dad, sis, and bros. I have never seen the second controller though, it threw me off. Of course, when you in the hood, people feel the need to wanna try yo shit out…for free…without your consent. Came home one day, found my PSP 1000, Nintendo DSi, 2 GameCubes, GameCube games, PlayStation 2, my PlayStation 2 games(hitches even took the rack! Lol) All gone. Only thing I had left was and Xbox 360 with no games, and PSP games without the PSP. Lol

    Thug lyfe.

    +Nelli GWS haha ok I admit that the PS4 controller isn't the prettiest either, but I can actually handle it better. I've tried both controllers, and the PS4 just feels nicer.

    Man I love the 360 controller. I swear it's the best controller ever, along with the PS4 controller.

    +Jedi Parker I totally agree with you. The PS4 has a nice feeling when you get your hands on those things
