Actually, the best gamepad ever is still the N64 controller. Absolutely no question about it.
And I've never understood why so many people don't care about how Sony has destroyed the six-button controller (Saturn and N64 had six, PSX four...)...
No, they don't. You need the same fingers for both sets of buttons, meaning either you have to clumsily use your middle fingers for the triggers (awkward) or ignore the upper shoulder buttons (the best idea, like the Z button on the GC they should not exist)... neither option is really a good one. Why can't they just see that the best solution is a standard 6-button layout with two triggers and no shoulder buttons? :( It's so much easier to use and more effective...
Actually, I think that all consoles should support four cards like the N64 did (as well as the Dreamcast and Xbox), so that's not a good point. It's a negative for all of those systems. :)
It's also more convenient to have the memcard port in the controller than in the system, for all of those stupid games that force you to use port one and require you to switch cards to use them since one card usually can't hold everything...
The harddrive point is good though, as I said. Still, having the option is a good thing.
Of course I know that. My point is that I disagree with their assessment...

Quote:You can use two memory cards at a time anyway, the same as the GC and PS2.

Quote:If you bother to look up reviews and impressions of the 360 hardware close to launch, you'll see that the controller was very well received.
