this isn't a console war topic i'm starting it's just that i want to know which of the two has the best control pad for first person shooters. I have a PS2 and although the pad is good it isn't so hot when it come to first person shooters. I don't want any fanboy spam just neutral comparisons please.

They're both quite similar for FPSs.
Just an issue of size really.
The analogue sticks are generally in the same place.
Although I would say that the XBOX shoulder triggers feel a bit more trigger-like for firing - if you know what I mean.

Hard to say as i havent played the same game on both consoles.
Xbox pad is big, but some people dont really notice it and get on well.
As for the GC it all depends if they finnaly put the control method like everyone wants it.
Play TS2 on both and then make up your mind.

GameCube's pad is the best I've ever used. It fits snugly into your hands, where the X-Box's feels awkward.
There's no 'better' pad, it just depends whihc one the user prefers, I personall think that the Gamecube pad is the best pad ever. It's very comfortable and afetr a few minutes play you'll feel right at home, all the buttons are easy to reach and the sticks are in just the right positions. Only real problem is the Z button but as it's not used in most games it doesn't really matter.

to bad other wise you'd of seen the bit that said "no fan boy" wich is what you just did. Anyway I agree with Maverick that the X-box controller is bigger wich is a problem for me personally (just uncomfortable) But the Gamecube fits in very nicely to my hand but is kind of like the PS2 controller just re sized and re arranged buttons so the X-box controller may be easier if you find the PS2 hard :D

They should have words in bold next time. and i do think the gamecube controller is confortable but the button configuration well... sucks. i think the best controller is the PS2 because its classic yet so ...not. ahhahah i sound so blonde in this post

I dont like the PS2 pad becuase it used the d-pad, and the 2 sticks feel like they were just placed there as it was the only place so it "looks" good.
