the original ps1 analogue controller was truly uncomfortable (g-police anyone?)

not as bad as the DC Nights controller or the original xbox one tho

that thing could give a kid hairy palm & a stronger handshake than the local vicar o.0

Playing Street Fighter games with the DualShock controller is always fun.

It easily has the best D-pad for it, but after a while I get horrible blisters on my thumb.

Maybe I should get an arcade pad or whatever?

I'm sorry but your argument is is sheer fanboyism. It never mentions the Playstation controller specifically, just game console controllers in general. And as for the disease name, the Playstation just happens to be a better known console name. Now don't get me wrong i HATE the Playstation controller, i find it uncomfortable and quite frankly hellish to play shooters on, in fact the control interface on sony products in general are the reason I will never buy anything by them (this includes MP3 players, Phones, Consoles) but the article never mentions that the girl in question was actually playing a playstation. For all we know it could have been a 360, or even a Dreamcast or Gamecube.

That's a rather over-the-top reactionary remark. This could easily apply to any console controller.

It's also a bit of a ratbag suggestion to a gentle tease or joke. Do you go pushing the button on any thread that seems faintly anti-PS3? Been to any good old fashioned book-burnings lately lol?

PS: Yeah, you can report me for this if you like. The mods will read it and just laugh. :D
Call me whatever you like, im not a fanboy, i dont even own any console from the last 2 gens cause i like retrogaming more, so dont even try to accuse me of being a ps-fanboy.

Only reason i reported this is because i find it annoying how everyone has to ***** about certain consoles and their controllers, If you dont like it or it hurts your hands playing, go do something else, no one is forcing you to play games.

And what is with your arrogance, seriously??

Why would i report you?, you havent done anything against the rules, though you are quite clearly a douchebag who thinks he's better than the rest...

And what the fuck does book-burning have to do with this, Seriously?, what the fuck was the point of that remark?

The apart about 'Wiitis' made me grin.
I heard about this, some doctor in london coined the term, claiming it was somewhat similar to tennis elbow, or is it wrist?
Wonder what they'll call the medical issue that comes from the 360. Probably RROD indused stress levels.

Now I never called you any names, ok? So don't go making out that I did. But I do think it's a "douchebag" act to go reporting this thread. In fact I think 99% of the time people who go reporting behave like little blinkered Nazis. If you don't get the book-burning reference I'm not gonna go explaining it.

As for me thinking I'm "...better than the rest...". Judging from the above bullying-like remarks to others players e.g."...go do something else..." (I still think that's an OTT reaction btw), I'd say that's straightforward projection on your part.

My arrogance?... ha!

So, if you continue calling me a douchebag or anything else, well... the report button is just as easy for me to press.

PS: I love retrogaming too.

Right, you didn't really have one, except "This girl needs to get outside."
Controllers have never been comfortable for me, which I one of the many reasons I prefer keyboard and mouse, despite what it's doing to my back due entirely to my bad posture.
The GC controller is simply orgasmic, however.

It was pretty comfortable.
The N64 controller can go fuck itself, though. Not fun.
I actually really liked the N64 controller. It was comfortable to hold, assuming you held it right and the game you were playing didn't do anything moronic like map controls to both the control pad and stick. I do admit that the control stick itself sucked a big bag of dick, though.

I remember, way back when, my parents got me the wrong console. I asked Santa for the Master System. They got me the Atari 7800. Being 6 or so at the time, I had no choice but to endure/enjoy the thing. The controllers for it were one thumbstick and two buttons. The thumbstick was made of hard plastic and designed by Satan himself. After intensive playing, I'd develop crescent shaped callouses on my thumb that would hurt like the dickens and sometimes bleed for no reason, because I refused to stop. Then I realised that the things would just unscrew and be a normal, ordinary, everyday, non-callousing D-Pad.

1) she should trying WASHING! This would remove any irritant junk that causes redness. Blame poor hygeine, not the games console.

2) Seriously, people only bring up the 360 controller because its infinitely better than the original xbox controller which is about as good as a piece of wood, covered in splinters with several rusty nails poking out of it. Also it would be on fire. The 360 controller is alright but it's like ergonomic keyboards. They make little or no effect. Ergonomic is just a word invented by marketing people to explain why the shape is slightly different to anything thats come before.

3) My PS2 controllers have never ever given me any trouble and I've played for days straight and frankly the grip fits my hands really well and it has a good weight. The only way the PS3 controllers are any different is that they are slightly lighter and the L2/R2 buttons are more trigger like which I think feels rubbish but it prevents them getting jammed which happened a lot to controllers I overused.

And no to you
