Hi, first post for me here.
I have borrowed an xbox off a friend of mine,and my first thought was that the machine is pretty impressive graphic and wotnot-wise, but it's a bit on the big and ugly side though!!
Then, as I was trying to play Tony Hawk 3 I almost destroyed the controller as it was the most uncomfortable joypad I have ever used! I, and everyone else that has played it complains of sore hands etc after just 4 or 5 minutes of playing!! And, to add insult to injury I am so crap at Tony Hawk 3 it is embarrassing. I must admit I was damn good at THPS 2 and 3 on the playstation! Is it just me and my fiance and my friends and all her friends that find these controllers would be far better embedded in the wall as a warning to other controllers?
I think the xbox has serious advantages over the other machines but if you cant play a game for more than 5 minutes at a time, you aren't going to get your moneys worth out of the machine and the games.
Is there any other controllers that are comfortable to use (like a PS2 controller clone maybe?) and don't cost the earth? Cos you shouldn't have to pay a fortune to get the correct use out of the xbox now , should we children? Or is that another marketing trap cunningly deployed by Satan himself, Mr. Gates?
mmmmmmm.....................
