Hey I use "The Duke" as well. Or as my college friends and I referred to it, the "Man-Sized Controller".

We had 2 man-sized and two s-type... there were always intense arguments over who got to use the man-sized.

Unfortunately I seem to have lost one of the man-sized controllers in my last move...

Haha, I am totally cracking up now. I was just making a joke that I felt shy since everyone was talking about my duke, and it just sounded like such a personal thing.

I always liked that controller just fine, but I do have to say that the firmer sticks on the newer s controller make things so much better for me. I feel like I've been playing with a handicap this whole time.

Back on topic, I really should switch out the cables/cords on the new Box, since I was just lazy and popped the new console into the old one's spot, and connected up the old connector, cat5, and power supply. Lazy, lazy. And, apparently, dangerous!

Bah, I was never a fan of the giant Xbox input terminals. They're even worse than the Dreamcast controllers. (Don't get me wrong here. I LOVE my Dreamcast, just not the controller) I've used the S the entire time I've had my Xbox. The best controller though, by far, in the history of video games has got to be the Gamecube's. Especially the Wavebird. That thing is just a work of art. And completely intuitive. I went to one of those "Cube Clubs" about a month before Gamecube came out, and the instant I picked up the GC controller I knew every button. It required no thought whatsoever. It's a beautiful thing.

But back on topic (Sorry, Phaedra) I tried to order a replacement cord on Xbox's site, but when I put in my serial number and mfg date it gave me some crap about the information not matching what they have on file, or something like that. Anybody else have this problem?

My xbox needs new cables. I hope they get here before it explodes violently and destroys my house, or develops self-awareness and takes over, or something.

Haha, I didn't get that fat Lite Brite version!

I got a slim and trim one, like the old one. (my box was made in 7.03)

Only difference is a lip on the console side plug that prevents pushing it into the box too far.

[CirrusStrafe]

Mine was made in 8/02 but for some reason when I went on the site to get the new one sent to me, it said my box was unaffected and pretty much said to piss off.

Which is odd, because isn't the recall date 8/03 and lower? Wth.
