But I don\'t see how my preference for the Saturn\'s controller over the PS controller could piss someone off so easily.

It\'s not your preference for the Saturn\'s controller that pisses people off, it\'s just you.

LOL

Hold up... wait a minute...

Sounds like a PSX/PS2 owner to me! MM, you\'ve been playing PSX/PS2 for almost a damn decade, of course you\'re going to dislike a totally new design.  On the other hand, I\'m a Dreamcast owner and never owned a PSX/PS2 so the Xbox controller is PERFECT.  It\'s not a matter of taste.  It\'s not a matter of hand size.  It\'s not a matter of whether you\'re a biased gamer or not.  It\'s a matter of GETTING USED TO SOMETHING TOTALLY NEW.  Unless you\'re quickly adaptable, I don\'t think that you\'re going to like the Xbox controller until you settle in.  Once you settle in, you\'ll see why it\'s an engineering work of art.  Your hands NEVER get tired, period.  Keep an open mind about the controller and play on and you\'ll get used to it.  In fact, you might even wonder how you ever played with the Dual Cramp/Dual Cramp2 controllers.  I\'m a DC owner and I hate the DualShock controllers.  It\'s all relative,  m\'boy!    

On the same line of thought, when I first saw the Xbox, I was like, "Damn!  That sucker is huge!"  But now, I\'m saying, "Damn, the Dreamcast is small!"

I think the Dreamcast controller was the best, hands down. I don\'t know about X-box, when I played it in NYC, it felt a little bigger, but it wasn\'t like I couldn\'t adapt to it. I don\'t really care for PSX/PS2\'s controller that much..but it\'s adaptable.

N64\'s controller on the other hand, no way!

I own a Dreamcast and I still think the XBOX controller is just too big. It\'s not that I\'m biased, it\'s because my hands simply hate the XBOX controller.
It\'s uncomfotable! I try to ignore it when I play Halo in my friends house.
The dual shock controllers are very comfortable, you have to have mutated hands if you don\'t like it.

Microsoft should\'ve made the controller smaller, that\'s all I\'m saying. It would be a very, very good controller if it was much more smaller.

I\'m not bashing the XBOX itself, don\'t get me wrong, it\'s an excellent system, but the controller will take a LOT of time getting used to.
BTW, I find it very funny that you consider a controller a "work of art."

welp, at least directxbox finally got passed the \'\'mm is a ps2 fanboy stage"  

at any rate

micro$oft is lucky i dont live in seattle anymore, or i would beat the hardware designers to frickin death with my tired, cramped hands

I\'m not wrong with saying that the DualShock sucks and you\'re not wrong with saying that the Xbox pad sucks.  It\'s just that you\'ve been playing the PSX longer and are used to it.  In fact, you\'ve been playing with small Japanese controllers all of your life, so of course the larger Xbox pad is difficult for you to adjust to.  I don\'t think I\'m a freak because I don\'t like the DualShock, it\'s just too small and I can\'t remember where those alien symbols on the buttons are.  With X, Y, A, B, at least I know that there is a universal button placement, but there\'s none of that for Sony\'s convoluted design.  The Xbox controller is just fine, so fine that I got whipped by a 6 year old in DoA3.  He\'s small for his age and he held the controller just fine.  The same was true with his 10 year old brother and my 10 year old cousin.  I repeatedly asked them, "Is the controller too big?"  And they said, no and continued playing.  None of them complained about the controller size.  It\'s only an issue to hard core gamers since it\'s not what they\'re used to.  Microsoft was smart not to listen to the hardcore gamers and go with the data they already had.  Because ultimately, it\'s the casual gaming crowd--the crowd that has no problem with the Xbox controller--will make or break the Xbox.  

Get used to it.  You\'ve been treated like a Japanese gamer so long until you actually believe it\'s the "right" way to do things.  Keep an open mind.   The "right" thing isn\'t always what you\'re used to or what most people are used to.  I\'m glad Microsoft realized this and gathered their own data:  American and Japanese gamers shouldn\'t be treated the same.

The new better and smaller XBOX controller resembles the Dual Shock 2.

They should\'ve made it black though, now it doesn\'t match the system itself.
