*grimaces* I hate the Xbox controller. As far as games, I like some of them on both, but I can't stand the Xbox controller. It's just... too much to hold and the buttons are all weird. I'll stick with my PS2 for now (and my Gamecube for Zelda).

You obviously haven't held the 460 controllers. I swear there has never been anything made better suited for the human hands.

You on some super-secret Microsoft beta team? :lol:

If the 460 controllers are anything like the 360, then yes. I love the 360 controller. I can't wait to play Halo with it. :D

Well technology moves fairly fast. You didn't get your 460 yet? They've already planned the release of the Xbox 461 scheduled for just a few hours from now.

But, yeah, yeah, let's all laugh at Swymir and how stupid he is.

I am on my 5th essay of the day. I'm all typed out.

The XBox controller burns my hands.

I think it might be linked to the way Microsoft Word makes me go blind if I use it.

Xbox is good, but the range of good games is too limited

Ps2 is really good because it got LOTS of really good games, the FF's, metal gear solid, you know the list

I'm not really into RPG's on consoles. I prefer shooty bang bang's and brum brum skid's.
With reference to the Xbox 360 controllers, i'd like to say that they're the worst things i've ever held. When i was game testing (not as good a job as it sounds) last year preparing for the launch of the console, we were putting in 8-10 hour days. And my hands were friggin killing me at the end of every day. Microsoft say that they've designed their pads to be ergonomic, and they may well be for someone whose hands are the exact right size, for everyone else they're torture.
However it might be just down to what everyone's used to. If a kid's grown using only xbox controllers then his hands are going to be better adapted to that shape. I've grown used to the Playstation (+PS2)controllers so i don't have a problem doing extended stints on the dualshock.

Playstation controllers feel like they're going to snap under my hands...

Quite a bit too feeble for me.
That's true though, how you get used to a certain type of controller.
Almost kinda sad, really ;)

Doesn't for me.. but hand size plays a lot into it as well. My hands are small, so handling a larger, more bulky feeling controller is just more difficult. The N64 controller isn't so great either size-wise, but somehow I manage it much better than the Xbox. I'll admit though, I've not played very often on the Xbox either. Overall, I still prefer my PS2. :)
