I throw them on the couch where they have a soft landing if I'm reeeeally frustrated. Luckily that doesn't happen often.

My brother, on the other hand, broke our only (decent) PS2 controller by repeatedly throwing it on the floor whenever he gets annoyed with a game--which is an unusually frequent occurence. It's literally all duct-taped together right now and the L1/L2 buttons don't work properly, not to mention you have to really press down hard on the control-pad to make it work. ;_; I'm asking for a new one for Christmas.

Yea I have, once I got mad at a game and then I jerked the controller out of it's port (it's a GC one) and then I threw it on the floor as hard as I could. I messed up the C-Stick (that's what got me mad in the first place, it was messing up and I made it worse) and put a small hole in the analog stick. And when I lose to fighting games (trust me, no one wants to see me mad at a fighting game, it's not pretty O_o) I bang the controller on the beg and then bend it to where it could break if I just did it a little more. O_o
Yea, fighting games are the worst for me when it comes to the poor controller. XD

I've thrown down controllers before, yes - but I usually don't throw them down too hard, or from too great a distance. ^_^;; I'd have to be extremely annoyed or exasperated to do that, too, as I usually end up hitting something else first before I reach the controller-throwing stage... O_o

Who hasn't?

I got mad when I kept losing on a race on the first NFSU and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't beat it, all my controllers were different color and sadly my orange one died because I threw it too hard and the analog stick and the b button wouldn't work. Now I have two wavebirds and a purple, black, and silver controller. I ended up beating the race when I wasn't even really trying.

I haven't, but one or two friends of mine have done me the great disservice of throwing my controllers down...but this was back when I had an N64 and every other person in the world had one (not today, though, because I only know two people with a gamecube.) As much as I can get angry at my games, I know a moment's anger isn't worth having to pay $30 for a new controller.

I once threw one to ground & cracked down the middle.

My friend smashed it on his table when he was angry & now he can only go sideways...not backwards & forwards, he has to turn & walk sideways when he's playing multiplayer.

I don't even own a console with a controller, but when I play games and they make me THAT mad, I usually just get mad inside.

Yes, of course! Ever get frustrated when you're just stuck on some boss or particular challenge and all you keep doing is losing to him/her/it and losing your mind for 1-2 hours straight? XD

Sure, not all of us do, but I'm just another one of those kinds of people who would throw their controller after repeitive death/failure. "I have FURY...!" >:|

1st inceident: Got annoyed at my ruby game, took out the ruby out of me sp. Toss the gameboy into the ocean...BZZZZZZZT bye fishies. nah, I just walked into the water with my SP and then it was in my pocket, I knew it would die.

2nd: My friend knocks my gamecube onto the floor and breaks it. I tell him to buy me a new one. He's all no. My controller wasn't working. Tch, when he went to my new house I left him in the park and laughed.

3rd. Gamecube when I'm playing against Dyna Blade and then I get mad and my head hurts.

Not exactly... It falls off my bed whenever I go to sleep...

Besides that, I don't throw it at the ground.

Guilty. I do recall throwing a controller at the wall of my room after I lost a hard race on Gran Turismo. I chose the wrong car for the big championship and I'm amazed I didn't destroy the thing afterwards.

I throw my controllers so much I'm surprised they still work..XD For me this is how it goes...

If I win, I throw a controller on the ground.
If I lose, I throw a controller on the ground.
If I can't complete a mission or puzzle, I throw the controller on the ground.
If I can't get something perfect, I throw the controller at another person.

Sure I have many many many times, and for some reason they don't completley brake. You know when your playing a racing game and at the last possible second of the race the second place guy passes you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

In fact that is the only time I throw my contorler on the ground.

One time I slammed it on the cement floor and all that happened was the R2 button poped out, not all the way either...and the funny thing is that when I threw it, it sounded like a gunshot.

Another time I slammed it down again and I did manage to brake the right analog stick, it still kind of works but I had to get rid of it.

I only do when I get extremely frustrated. Like first I start sighing, then I start moving around freakishly, then hit things, then throw things, then scream. XD Only happened once though, poor controller, ah well, I have carpet, XD!
