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.

Xbox pad is great for fps, i dont care what others think. I even have quite small hands and i find it fine. Its only the first hour then you end up lovin it.
I think we should redirect the topic so that it helps me out. Does anyone know what features the Xbox DVD player has?
Oh, btw, on the original topic, get a better PC, so that you can play Mafia. Best. Game. Ever.

Yet sadly i do think the Gamecubes resident evil could of been better on the PS2

Out of the two systems pads i would say that the Xbox's is the better. People say that it is too big, but i find its fine. People who say that must have small mincy hands. And you know what they say, Big hands - *ahem*
The Gamecube controller is quite obviously design for the smallwer player. The button configeration is wierd to say the least. Unlike the PS2 and theXbox, the GC pad isnt symetrcial, so any FPS games will be spoiled by the uneveness of it all. There is no reason for the 'A' Button to be soo big, its obviously been designed with kids in mind.
One of the major problems with the Xbox is that is a bit large and heavy, but also the trigger buttons are little annoying to keep down for a long period of time, for example with racing games, it can tend to cane your fingers. Plus the White and Black buttons are a little small. Thats pretty much it.
I would say that the Xbox is a better machine, in that it has a Hardrive and a DVD player. As a games playing machine a console is only as good as the games produced. But with the extra power of the Xbox it should be that developers can make better games for the microsoft machine. But games arnt only about the graphics, hopefully the xbox will have some more top quality games released before christmas.

I would say that the Xbox is a better machine, in that it has a Hardrive and a DVD player. As a games playing machine a console is only as good as the games produced. But with the extra power of the Xbox it should be that developers can make better games for the microsoft machine. But games arnt only about the graphics, hopefully the xbox will have some more top quality games released before christmas.

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.
