For some weird reason, new controller "s" for the original xbox are harder to find than Britney Spear's sanity. But atleast theres a reason for the xbox controller dissappearance(next gen xbox 360). Too bad we can't explain what the hell is wrong with Miss Spears. Anyway, I am looking for a new controller "s" for the xbox, preferably black or blue. I may even buy two, depending on their cost. Does anyone have any extras collecting dust that they would like to sell?

Hopefully someone will come thru soon. How the hell did these get so rare all of a sudden?
That's what I was saying a couple of months ago. I just assumed I could hit my local Wal-Mart for one when my 1 year old son broke my other. Wal-mart employees said, "we haven't had those in a while." Luckily, someone on here (can't remember who) hooked me up with one in excellent condition for $12 shipped I believe. I'd like to get a couple more. I still play my original Xbox a lot. In fact, more than I play my 360. Good luck ;)

If I get a good lead on a few of them I'll drop you a line. I'm definitely going to get more than one if I find them.

My local GS has a shit-ton of them. 19 a pop before my 10% discount. How many you want?
^ Are they the official Microsoft products S-type controller? I believe The 1 2 P is also looking for the official too. Also, if so, what color? Black or the blue? Keep in touch. Good lookin out :)

$19 for new type S controllers? That is a ridiculous deal. Buy all of them, then sell them here or on ebay (they go for $50 or so on ebay).

Are they used or new? If they are new I'll take atleast two: one black and one blue.

It would be a great deal, but I have a feeling they are used ones. My Gamestop has used ones for $19 as well, but most of them were treated badly so theres no way I'd be interested in those. Thats why I want new ones. The problem with mine wasn't that they were beat up or unusable--it's just that my xbox stopped acknowleding them. Althought I did find a used one at a local video game trade store in really good condition and my xbox accepts it just fine. But I still want some new ones.

They are all used. I don't think i've seen any new ones in quite a while.
From my quick glance over they looked pretty good, but it was just a glance over and it was more out of me remembering that I had seen a thread asking about s-type controllers and I picked one up to look at it.
All I saw was a bunch of black ones (5 or 6) and a single green one. They also had a few dukes as well.

My local stores just got a new shipment of used XBox pads, but they're so grimy I couldn't even bring myself to bring them to the counter. Ugh. :|

You used new and grimy in the same sentence. I think that says it all. So the search continues:frustrated:

I found this link through Froogle. I don't know anything about the site but it let me put 10 in my cart and get all the way to the payment portion of checkout so I guess they have them.

I had a Pandora's Box here in Maryland but they closed up last year. They are know for being stupidly overpriced. Thanks for the link though but I don't trust them.

Looks like I'm stuck getting used ones from now on.
I actually found a new one at a flea market this past weekend for $5.00! I now have 4 so if I find anymore, I'll hit you up. Good luck ;)

I think they stopped making the controllers in 2005...

You have 4 and you don't want to share? :( I'm kidding of course. Hopefully I'll find some soon.

Still keeping hope alive.
Hey man. This is isn't concerning the official controller, but I found a brand new Logitech wireless controller a couple of weeks ago. I didn't want to open it only to find out it sucked, and I should have ebay'ed it off. These things worth a damn or should I sell it?

I've got a new and sealed blue Microsoft Xbox controller that I may or may not want to hold onto. I've got an eye on the 3DO stuff you had up for trade including the bare system with cord. Let me know if we can work something out. I sent a PM.

You should just sell it. Sears recently clearanced them at very affordable prices. I've never used it(I decided to pass on it at Sears) but I've heard it is a pretty mediocre wireless controller. However, the Logitech wireless headset for the original Xbox is pretty much the best you can get. I love mine and it's only low points are no mute button(no big deal) and the very small battery time(about 5 hours of play time).
Cool. Thanks for the heads up.
