Train Wreck!!!!!!!
If the goal was to throw a bunch of low quality crap into one package and then rip off the consumer then I would have given it 5 stars. Since that's not the case I gave it two, and that's just because I really needed the cable extension. For the lack of a more mature word I'll have to just say that the disc case just sucks. I may as well just drag my games across the street in front of my house. Now with the controller (this is going to hurt). Lets just say it's in about 1000 pieces on the ground. It's was not my temper that broke it into all those little pieces, it was that horrible piece of crap that keep taunting me. This thing was just train wreck that somehow got packaged as a controller. Do yourselves a favor and stay away from this thing. It will ruin you lives. Seriously, just spent a few extra bucks and stick with the Microsoft accessories and a Case Logic disc case.

Good value, even with the large controller
When XBox first debuted, it included an oversize controller that many found to be unwieldy and awkward to use. Microsoft addressed this by creating the Controller S, now included with the XBox system. However, the original oversize controller still has many fans (I still sell a fair number of them at my store), and once you get used to it, it's not so bad. Kids may find it difficult to use, so if you're buying this for a child, go for the Controller S, the Phoenix Pad, or the Mad Catz Micro Controller for them. That said, there's still a lot of value in this kit. The 6' extension cable is an $8-$10 value; the game cases for portability are about $4-$6 separately. Those are pretty good extras, but it is the bag (equivalents sell for about $15-$20) and the controller that make this worthwhile.

Warning: Large Controller. Still good though.
I got the XBox starter kit with my XBox, because it was the same price as the other controllers, but included a game DVD case and a 6' extension cord. It stayed at 4 stars for the extra value, but the controller itself is a little large and cumbersome at first. The format was different from any other controller ive ever used. I've gotten used to it, and like it better now, but it took a while.
This is the original controller that Microsoft released, but now they also have the Controller "S" which stands for smaller. The key placement on the two controllers are different. Microsoft moved some of the buttons when they downsized, and made them a little easier to reach. The smaller controller is closer to the format of what you might be used to from Nintendo or the older Sega systems.
