I think the Nintendo-controller can't compete with the Sony-controller. When I use the analog stick on a N64 controller, it just feels unnatural. I also think tht the N64 controllers look hudge and childish. Personally I can't say that I prever the analog stick of the N64 over the one of the PSX. I'm more used to the PSX-analog-stick so I say keep it like this. I can imagine that if you're used to the N64-stick, you'd prefer that one. It's a bit like the never-ending-PC-Mac discussion. It's different but none of them is better. It's just what you're used to. Personally I think the shape of the analog controller was the best (not the dual shock). The sticks on the dual-shock are better, buth the analog pad was more robuust. It had just a bit better shape. And it was also a tiny bit more heavy. I think the best thing sony did, was keeping on the old add-ons. We don't pay the extra costs for a new shaped controller wile the previouw was perfectly ok. If you're not happy with the feel of the offisial one, try a thirth party controller.. > I Suppose you all think it's the best thing since sliced bread ;-) Tell me what's so great about slished bread? I'd prefer rolls.. DEnnis..
