Quote:X-Box should just start selling that small S-Controller or whatever it's called with the main system. I don't like having to travel by plane just to reach different buttons on the controller.
how old are you?
It was designed for adults. Thus the big controller fits my hands and most others perfectly.
So if you are not fully grown yet, you will indeed have problems reaching certain buttons. But like I said, the Xbox was not designed for kiddies.
(not that im calling you a kiddie rocku, sorry, dont take it the wrong way man

My hands are huge for my age. The controller fits my hand, but it's still too big. The controller doesn't go in my hand, it's more like my hand's just on top of the controller...

Er, ok fair enough. I suppose its just down to how you want to use it/hold it. I dont have any trouble reaching the buttons, but i find the small controller slightly cramped when reaching for the inner white/black buttons.

There are controllers made by third party companies that are smaller. Perhaps you should check them out.
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.

I also have no trouble with the large XBOX controller. Except for the white/black buttons. I keep forgetting where they are and which is which -_-;;
Back by popular demand!
I will byte and nibble you bit by bit until nothing remains but crumbs.

believe it or not, xbox made the controller that big because it's better that way. i was reading it in a PC mag or somethin in the breakroom a while back, and they said that those who use the larger controller are less likely to constrict carpo tunnel syndrome. how many times have you played ps2 or gamecube for hours upon hours, then wander off for a bit, only to look down at your hands and notice they form the shape of a controller
the larger controller is designed to stretch your fingrers, not your wrists
the mind is a beautiful thing, use it and make the world a more beautiful place.
