P.S playstation stop using shapes for your buttons and switch to abxy like the rest of the systems, I can never get the hang of what shape is where.
The first time I saw the b&w buttons i was rather confused and figured they would hardly ever be used. The one thing i hate is switching between the smaller controller and the larger one (i have two orig small ones and two generic big ones) and having to get used the different placement of the b&w buttons. I hate my home-repaired bulky plasticky generic controllers. And now one of my small ones is acting up .

One of the reasons i'm looking forward to getting the 360 is spiffy new wireless controllers. I LOVE the Xbox triggers (first time i experienced triggers that i can remember.) and do think the shoulder buttons should be better than the b&w ones.

One thing that bugs me about the ABXY/shapes thing is that when im playing with someone whose never played Xbox (they're not officially in SA so not everybody here is familiar with them) i'll say "hit X" and they'll hit A cus thats where it is on the PS. Then i'll try using colours and thats when they start getting really confused. Good things the games are so great, 90% of the time they prefer Xbox. And if they have any doubt... 4 controllers man.
