You think you're so smart with your nice new GameCubes. Happy with them are you? I know you are, you've told us enough times. Especially "Oooh, this controller is fantastic, it's much better than all the other controllers I've used".

Bollards.

Why can't you see it's exactly the same as the DualShock 2 but with less features? Let's run through this:

· D-pad - check
· Two analog sticks - check
· Four main buttons - check
· Shoulder buttons - check
· Rumble - nope
· Full analog on ALL buttons - nope
· 4 shoulder buttons - nope
· Analog sticks as sensitive as the DualShock 2 - nope
· Ability to drop for storeys and still work perfectly - nope

Excuse me if I'm wrong but surely if it's the SAME shape with the SAME layout but with less functions, that makes it worse? Oh no, sorry, I'm missing out the facts that it's purple and made by Nintendo, that automatically makes it far superior, I'm terribly sorry.

I dare any of you to prove to me that the GameCube controller is better than the DualShock 2 - and saying that "it's more comfortable" is a cop-out.

The Dual Shock looks really ugly compared to the GC pad, that's all I have to say on the matter. At the end of the day no pads best they all do their job well so lets make love not war......that isn't an offer by the way.

Nah, I'm keeping out of these things now, they're bad for your health ya know. And why does this matter anyway? It seems that everyone loves the
pad(s) for the console(s) they use so it doesn't really matter, does it.

Because the GameCube controller isn't a GameBoy? Besides, someone on here dropped their controller from holding height and it broke. I however, have dropped my PS2 pad 4 storeys.

Why fix what isn't broke? Only Nintendo would do something that stupid.

I've just read your post and i must say you made mistakes:

1: It does have rumble

2: Can it not stand a 4 storey fall? The Gameboy can why can't the Controller? Let me get my mum.

Anyway I wasn't saying games were crap due to the use of the duel shock 2 just that it isn't a next generation if it relys so heavily on the last one.

Cannot afford, I'm afraid. I'll stick with my Honda S-type 2000. In Midnight Pearl - mmm.
