It (central I went down to buy one of these a few weeks ago, but I don't think you can get them anymore. Not sure. The guy in the shop said that the negCons used to break down quite quickly, becoming hard to calibrate and a pain to use. For car racing (which is probably the best application of analogue control) I imagine the negCon would provide better control as it has only a single axis (twist one way or the other) rather than the double (left/right, up/down) with a stick. I wouldn't buy one though, because of the shop guy's comments... though a Dual-Shock negCon would be pretty slick. I'd get one of those. -- Toby.
