Quote:Sony hate aside, the controller is okay [even if it hasn't changed since 1995] and there's nothing at all wrong with the system itself [as long as you get the redisigned version].
Sony hate is significant, the controller is badly designed (as I have said many times) and worse than either the Xbox or GC controllers (X360? Haven't used it much, but it seems exactly the same as a PS1-analog/2/3 pad layout, except with real triggers for the lower shoulder buttons, which maybe gives it a very slight edge...), and as for the system... yeah, the PStwo sounds better made, but all the stories about how many PS2s failed so quickly... (X360 sounds like it has real issues too, looking more recently...)
