The GCN has the most comfortable controller, but the XBox controller is simply shit. I don't understand what makes the SNES rip-off - uh, I mean, PS2 controller that much better - the analog stick placement, and in fact the analog sticks themselves, are terrible. It makes playing far more uncomfortable. The button layout on the GCN controller is obviously a bit unorthodox, but it works out extremely well, except perhaps for fighting games and such, where it would take some getting used to.

Are you talking the original big x-box controller, the smaller "S" one, or just in general? Because unless you guys have tiny little midget hands crippled with arthritis I can't see how anyone would have trouble. But then, I can't see a lot of things.

Anyway, just assembling my controllers and looking for faults:
X-box S:
1. Black and White buttons are a bit of a pain.
2. Despite being less than a centimeter away, the Back button is somehow much harder to hit than the Start button.

Gamecube:
1. Control Pad is dwarfed by my massive thumb.
2. Button placement odd, but easy to adapt too.

PS2:
1. Sticks are VERY squirrely compared to the other two.
2. Double shoulder buttons slightly counterintuitive, but also easy to adapt to.
* Since I went Nes-Snes-N64-GCube-Xbox-PS2, the Ps2's circle-square-triangle-x configuration used to confuse me, and lead to an endless string of PaRaapa the Rapper failures.
Maybe if you know your true love is about to move away to college or something, you can stick this shit in the stereo and make the moment last while at the same time listening to pussies whine about bitch shit. Just like you.

It's vice versa for me. I need to spend like 5-10 minutes getting used to the xbox or whatever controller before i can be confident. my hands have grown accustomed to ps/2 controllers, and i luv the analog sticks :P

*rereads latest nintendo magazine*

They are trying to compete with the PSP's capabilities by adding some sort of blank memory card for the DS. It''s got most of the same abilities, and it can be used on a GBA by sliding into an adapter the size of a GBA cartridge. coolness.


Theres also some sort of handheld device advertised in official xbox mag, but I don't really care to look at that right now.
