surfacing question
(OP)
I'm just trying to learn the program right now so I decided to try modeling a playstation 2 controller. This is the point that I'm kind of stuck at trying to get the handles to smoothly join the body of the controller.

I would extrude along a 3D Sketch or extrude the handle shape up and fillet the edges.

RE: surfacing question
Second... You don't seem to be using surfaces, you seem to be using solids. Modeling with surfaces is a different mindset in which you think more in terms of curves and surface patches.
Hence, use curves to define the edges of the surface patches you wish to create, then use loft/sweep/fill surfaces to fill in. Then knit it together and turn it into a solid. As you learn more you'll start being concerned with curvature continuity.
