As far as selling a PS2 for an XBox, I wouldn't totally agree with that. But I'm gonna shoot in the dark and say he did it for hype seeing as how XBox is king of that. For the price of an XBox you could get a Gamecube and one of it's great games; so if your friend doesn't have a Gamecube, slap him for me.

DualShock2 is the best overall controller for the general play mechanics of games. The Gamecube controller suits games made specifically for the said system, so I won't talk down to it (I own a Wavebird and I love the damn thing). The XBox controller, which by the way needed an overhaul anyway, is a retarded DualShock2 (Look closely) with buttons that aren't to reliable. I like the S-Type, but whenever I play a ported game on another controller, the experience is always better.

Why all the talk anyway? Can't we all just... Get all three systems?
The one thing I hate about the GC controller is the Z button.

If only they had put it somewhere useful, and made it large enough to hit easily, instead of a vestigial appendage on one of the trigger buttons.

PS2's controller is the best, pretty much. I preferred the N64 controller for the msot part, but that's not really an option. The PS2's pretty decent, a middle of the road mainstay deal. The gamecube's controller, as you said, is kinda specialised. It's great for games designed forit, not so great for others (Though Hunter was ported well).

I'm not too into the X-Box, myself. I'll stick with the two I've got and not put money in Microsoft's poickets when I don't need to.
