XBox 360 is of a good price

Don't know why I'm involved in this debate, I don't even like video games. The last video game I played was Pong and I had to stop playing that after ten minutes because the computer was scanning my mind for embarassing childhood memories.

So now there are rumours of an Xbox360 with a 250gb hdd. It was available for preorder on Amazon last night but it has now been taken down... hmmmm?

Metroid Prime Trilogy

Playstation controller: shoulder buttons - awesome. joysticks - fucking terrible

I think in all honesty the 360 pad is the best, most comfortable and responsive pad I've used for a console. Followed up by the N64's.

Gamecube controller? I agree about the 360 pad, just about flawless

For some reason I didn't get along with the Gamecubes as well. Well built but wasn't comfortable to me. I've got big hands, that might have had something to do with it.

yeah i get ya. The triggers were a bit silly, kinda goofy springy, and massive odd 'x' and 'y' buttons. felt good in the hands for me though

The X Y & Z buttons I felt were a bit retarded.

no one liked the Gamecube 'Z' button. me included

It may be just me, but I think the classic D-pad on the 360 controller is a disaster. I hate having to use it to select stuff.

No complaints about the triggers, joysticks and buttons though.

yes.

one thing I've noticed with the 360 controller is it collects a dickload of grime and assorted filth. Perhaps this is just a reflection of my hygeine though....

It's your hygiene - hands get sweaty, dries up on the controller. ew.

um, it's white...

Mine is black.

Although I agree almost entirely with the 360 controller being superior, the joysticks on the 360 are placed perfectly, BUT: I will concede that the Ps2/3 Joystick pads feel like wonderful sex to the thumbs. Like the lips of some super hot slut. Conversely, the 360 joystick pads are concave and tend to cause a bit of irritation to the thumbs after prolonged use.

That being said I still prefer the 360 controller. PS3 is set up way too mechanically/mathematically sound which does not bode well for organic beings.

the new controllers the d-pad is more fluid.

they first made them better with the PES controller last year and since then have had 360 movement on the d-pad

also this looks better.

That's not even a real 360 controller - where's the xbox button in the centre?

I dunno if you were replying to me but I was talking about the Joystick pads, not the d-pad

that was a early 2004 prototype for the 360, note - its still wired.

Well, why'd you say it was a "new" controller? 2004 is before the 360 even came out, so this is what the pad that currently ships with the 360 is like, right (sans the wires)?

no. i posted it before i relized it ws a prototype

here is the controllers

just grabbed a brand new elite for $235 out the door, online, after bing cashback... I'm a happy camper.

That's a good deal - as expected, Microsoft has lowered the price of the 360 to match the new lower price of the PS3, so now there's really nothing stopping anyone (well, except money, lol) from going out and getting the console they prefer, since they are basically the same price*

*of course, with the 360, if you want WiFi and a HD larger than the stock 80GB some come with, you'll have to spend upwards of another 200USD to achieve that
