[2003] Is Xbox #2 in Europe?

I don't agree. I have the original and S. I think the original might be worse than the S but I'm really OK with both. I think the original blows the Dreamcast and N64 pads away. Maybe small hands would be a problem but I don't have that issue.

The force feedback motors sure are noisy though.

The 360 controller is a big step forward of course.

 

do you mean the famous Duke?+

As I mentioned in a different thread, Seamus Blackley, considered the father of the Xbox has mentioned that the Duke could come back. The focus on Scorpio seems to be a return to the roots.

"DUKE++ is still progressing. Patience."


I've never had one. Xbox Crystal was my first console, launched in 2004 with Halo 2 and I had this controller:


I liked it overall, although you can easily see where it was flawed -note certain buttons), and the d-pad was never great in typical Xbox controllers,save Elite.
