The one thing i have to give props to MS for is the Xbox 2 controller it is wireless and corded which is a brilliant idea, you can play wirelessly and if the battery is dieing out just plug in the cord that was great thinking. I heard on G4tv that the really liked the controller.

I think this is likely going to be a feature of all 3 systems, at least the x-box 360 and PS3 simply because sony has mentioned that you can use the USB ports for controllers, so I' ll bet you could connect a USB cable to your vibrating boomerang and leach charge it while you play. I hope the revolution controller does the same, but since the controller is supposed to be so revolutionary, it' ll probably just have a little cold fusion reactor inside it, and if it get' s low you just have to dump a glass of water inside it and it' s good for another 200 years.

I like the controlller a lot because unlike the current Xbox' x controller, the controller for the Xbox 360 feels REEEEEEALLLY nice.. Button placement, everything feels good.

Here are the face plates for the Xbox 2. What do you all think?

Sega is still the king of contollers in my book.

Well, the Genesis 6 button and the Saturn (Japanese version preferred but US one was good, too - they eventually released the Japnese controller in the US) are the pinnacles of gaming heaven. The Saturn analog pad was good, not great. The Dreamcast pad is absolutely horrible and is one of the reasons why I have a hard time fully appreciating the DC. They took away 2 buttons for no reason, and the analog pad was crap (though better than the analog stick on the Saturn pad). The Sega Master System also had a lousy controller. No way to pause the game. Buttons that had to be pressed for a mile before they registered. Ug.

Sega actually designed the Xbox controllers too.

Joe, I loved the DC controller. That thing was comfortable as hell whether or not it was lacking 2 buttons.

I actually wanted to beat the @$$ of the folks in the Sega of Japan R&D lab responsible for the Dreamcast controller. Two less face buttons, smaller uncomfortable buttons and hard as a rock d-pad that wasn' t a whole lot of fun to use for extended periods of time.

It' s AMAZING how they would go from something the quality of the godly Saturn pad which I' d rate at least a 9.5 out of 10 to the Dreamcast pad which I' d give a generous 5.0 out of 10 to.

The Dreamcast controller was had 2 less buttons.

(EDIT: I just wanted to pay special attention to my awesome grammar above).

The d-pad on the Genesis 6 button controller (the original, not the one with the giant letters) felt perfect. Nice, soft plastic. You can use your Saturn controllers for DC games. I think you can even use the Saturn analog controller. I' ll have to try it (The Z and C buttons double as extra L and Rs).

but hold on, who said that the ps3 cooking food was a bad thing? sure while its loading you can pop on some bacon sit now and let the vibrateing controller pleasure you, and then play what has to be the most solid launch title line up.

I read in an interview that sonmy arent going to change the design much, maybe its one of those things that fits really conmfortabley in your hands?..

ow! my bacon is burning!!

haha that' s great. MMMMM Bacon. Gotta have have that bacon huh? I don' t know how people choose to be a herbavore and not eat bacon hehe. my best friend is one and his veggie food smells and tastes funny.

Once I read that Bill Gates flew Coach Class whenever he traveled I knew then and there I liked the lad

I heard he can shoot lasers out of his eyes, and he used this special ability to save the planet of Stankstank from certain destruction, which turned out to be not so certain because... well... he saved them. GO BILL!

Hey, remember that little joystick that screwed into the middle of the d-pad? At the time, I thought somebody at Sega was on crack for that one. But in hindsight, seeing as how all controllers have little joystick on them nowadays, that was pretty forward thinking! It did suck though.

....[master sysytem]....No way to pause the game. Buttons that had to be pressed for a mile before they registered. Ug.

haha yeah - the pause button was on the console itself!!

Haha wow i actually remember that. It was a pain in the ass to unscrew it and screw it back in and it was kinda uncomfortable.

I am curious what the controller for the Rev will be like. Everyone has their speculation and high hopes for it i hope it doesn' t disapoint.

Did anyone go to E3 and was allowed to hold the PS3 controller? It looks so uncomfy and i was just curious if anyone held it and what they thought about it. Well i mentioned it because everyone is talking about the Xbox 2 controller and not the others so i figured i would ask. Judging by everyone' s reactions it is not widely accepted as a " cool" controller.
