anyone know where ya can buy a new controller for an x-box, not the x-box 360 but the std old x-box, preferably a microsoft manufactured one, not a replacement brand, i havent had good luck with the non std ones,
 
I don't know where you could get a new one but my son buys lots of used stuff from Game Stop and EB Games. It usually has a short guarantee. Other than that maybe ebay
 
yeah i tried EB, they had 2 used microsoft ones, both defective and didnt work from the get go, one had a short or something and the game kept saying "no controller in port A" and the other had a broken lever, it was the last 2 of the MS ones they had too, i have a gamestop brand one now but compared to the MS ones they are kinda crummy imho, and dont last long, the MS ones last ~ a yr while the off brands last only a month/2, or until a wk after the warranty expires lol.

i'll look at ebay i suppose.

no one has any old ones they dont use any more do they?
 
I think the bay is going to be your only hope short of checking out video game stores (sometimes you have better luck with the mom n pop ones). Microsoft, unlike Sony basically forced their customers to adopt to the new system. Once the 360 went into production, the original xbox went out of production. I'm assuming that also went for a lot of peripherals.
 
Pelican Peripherals are top notch IMHO. Have a wireless Xbox controller best controller I own for the Xbox.
 
I've never used Pelican Xbox controllers before, I'm still using my MS ones and it's probably the best controller I've ever used. However I do have a couple of Pelican Gamecube controllers to use with the Wii and they are junk. So if you decide to buy Pelican, check them out thoroughly first.
 
i know the "mad katz" made controllers suck, i broke one before i finished even one game lol, second lasted only a week or so, & mad katz makes a lot of the ones that gamestop sells, some, not all though, ya gotta look.

have not seen/used a pelican one though, thanks for the info both good and bad lol..

i am probably gonna just make my son move the 360 into the den were we both can use it and get a 360 "madden", its the only game i play, been playing it since it came out, man the graphics are a LOT different now, and i'm pretty good if i say so myself lol, i would like to play in one of the challenges and win the $100K, ya know the one they show on ESPN.

some 18 yr old would probably kick my butt though...........
