Dual Shock THREE

The DS2 is the best pad ever, my reasoning being this, when re-configuring controls to my liking I have NEVER found myself wanting an extra button etc, any type of game played at any pace and the DS2 is easy to use.

This is a good place for a product to be, a happy place.

Oh, I understand where you are coming from now.  You\'re one of those people that just don\'t like the xbox, debating that its size was a factor in its quality.  And I still like the original xbox controller, and I\'m glad that they would take the time to make another controller to suit other people instead of being like Sony and releasing the same thing without trying to improve any.

You obviously skipped the last paragraph:o , let me reinstate:"If the Xbox had a better design at fitted my needs I would most probably buy it.  I have a GC and PS2 (and another stack of PC games as well) and am definitly not a fan boy... I often wished that I could play Gothem Racing 2, but the dam controller just don\'t do it for me.  As I said earlier, if you are happy with your Xbox, then be happy.  

BTW, you are the first person that I have ever heard of that has such a huge problem with DS2 controller:confused:

Exactly, it works well.  Not perfect, but well.  Just good enough so that they can just repackage it and get more sales.

Most stupid thing I\'ve heard in a long time.

That\'s your own opinion, don\'t try and make it a fact. To a LOT of people it is just perfect and to some it isn\'t. Get over it already.

Here\'s a little test.

1) Relax all the muscles in your hands and fingers, your fingers should curl slghtly naturally.

2) Keeping your hands and fingers relaxed join the tips of your middle fingers together, palms up.

3) Take a DS2 pad and lower it into both hands the same way you\'d hold it if playing (you may need an extra person)

For me, when I do this, the pad fits perfectly into my hands. They naturally curve into the correct shape to hold a DS2, I don\'t know whether they planned it like that but my hands don\'t even have to try to maintain position, it\'s effortless. Makes GT3 for 10 hours at a time totally painless.


You may call what\'s just been typed total boll*cks, just try it.

It\'s the same with all 3 controllers.

Dammit!!




The DS2 is the only one I don\'t have to manually bend my fingers for it to fit perfectly.

The issue never was with an amount of buttons, its been with the terrible sticks.  But if you want to see my opinion on that read the last 5 pages.

:o  Sadly, in your attempt to be witty, you started just assuming things.  Never did I call you a fanboy.  As for your dislike of the S-controller, don\'t know what to tell you.  I\'ll agree to disagree on the opinions of each controller.

Never did I claim anything as fact.  Of course its my opinion, thats what we\'ve been discussing this whole time.  And what does a lot people have to do with what I have to say here.  It doesn\'t discredit my opinion any.  Save that most stupid bs for someone else.

Thats an exercize, not advice.  You guys act as if I haven\'t held each controller for hours on end.  I\'m not you, dawid, I based my opinion off of considerable amounts of gaming time.

Bozco, how many hours a week do you play games?  Did you play Atari games in their days? 8 bit for that matter? (Not to even mention al the money spent on arcade classics)  I played many hours of games as well!... and still do.   However I did tell you this twice already, that if you like the controller then so be it, some of us don\'t (mabe the Xbox controller fits your hands better than ours, who knows)

Everyone has there own opinion, at I respect yours, it is just really weird that you can\'t respect us for liking our prefered controller? (And for the other guys giving you hell, this is a PS2 forum, so you should expect that kind of thing... they\'re just pulling your leg anyway, relax.)

I don\'t play games nearly as much as I used to but I\'d say I still play about 10-15 hours on an average week.  Where I play games a lot we have an Atari 2600, Nintendo, Genesis, Super Nintendo, PSOne, GC, and Xbox.  Also I\'ve owned the PS2 since 3 months after release and Xbox since Christmas.  

And look how long I\'ve been casually posting here.  I definently know what to expect and I\'m not a stranger to it.  I\'ve been called a PS2 fanboy here, Xbox fanboy, not quite yet on being a GC fanboy.

Bloody Gamecube fanboy, your lot get everywhere moaning about how games aren\'t as fun/innocent as in the past.

There\'s far too many of your kind and you\'re becoming intolerable.






Happy?

It\'s good to see that you have some good gaming behind you.  I currently play about the same amount of time as you do (Used to play anything from 30 - 40 hours a week about 3-4 years ago when life was still easy going living at home without any worries)  Now I am engaged and living with my future wife, so time becomes a problem.

 I own everything you have except the Xbox (as I am sure you know by now).  I don\'t think you\'re a fan boy, you\'re just sticking up for what you believe in which is great, that is what debating is all about at then end.
