Hello, I'm back to post and stuff.

Do people still argue over consoles?

The GCs shoulder buttons click, the PS2s don't and are pressure sensitive, maybe you had a broken pad last time you touched one.

No way, no way. The main analog stick is in the wrong place, for a start.

That wouldn't be a hardware problem as the N64 was basically a step between the PS1 and PS2, running on a MIPS 4000 processor when the PS1 had a MIPS 3000 and the PS2 a MIPS 5000.

Ah so you've played Pro Evo on the Gamecube have you? :D

(he's gonna tell me he imported Winning Eleven isn't he??)

Wrong, it's worse for first person games, and the mother of all games, Pro Evo ;-).

I found those that like the Duel Shock like the Gamecube pad as well.

But the Gamecube's controller is what Killer 7 was built around. The PS2's controller was forced to fit it.

I like my big A button.
It's for the important things like "Go drive fast!" "Kill die kill!" and "Jump now quick!"

It's obviously a matter of preference though, because some people hate the GC controller and love the Dual Shock (although I personally think they're crazy). It's whatever you're used to I suppose.

That's the same with any game like this though. The PS2s digital clicky shoulder buttons just arent as satisfying as the meaty GC ones. In games like Resi 4 and Killer 7 where you use them to aim and stuff, it's gotta be less satisfying using the PS2 buttons.
