IGN has posted a review of the Xbox360 controller:

“The original Xbox controller was an abomination. Huge, ugly, cheap, and uncomfortable, the overall design begged users to question what Microsoft was smoking. Slippery thumb sticks, vertically (why!?) oriented hard plastic buttons (the white and black almost impossible to reach), and a really tacky looking Xbox logo smack in the middle, it was design disaster. Compared to Sony's Dualshock 1 and 2, the experience of picking up the original Xbox controller felt like playing with Duplo blocks instead of Legos. And as if Microsoft didn't have enough to worry about in terms of breaking into the Japanese market, they went and made a controller that could only look proportional in the hands of John Wayne…”

Lol they said the Xbox controller had "useless buttons", would anyone like to tell me which buttons were "useless"? They all had a use, so I don't think anyone can. And I liked the black and white as buttons, it seemed easier to me.
