Game Controllers

[Teuthida]

Hmm, might end up buying a PS2 controller with the adapter...or an adapter for my cube controller. What's the difference between the PSX and PS2 controllers and they price difference if any? Seems like every American-made controller's D-pad is like the Xbox's where it's just a round digital pad rather than a cross like on PS2's or any of Nintendo's controllers. I use my Genesis controller for my Atari 2600. For some reason it works.

PSX controllers and PS2 controllers are different only because the PS2 has analog face and shoulder buttons. Also, PS2 has lighter rumble technology so the controller feels lighter. This won't matter on PC. Plus, PSX's just feels sturdier and more.. clicky. If you get what I mean.

At my Best Buy the clear/coloured PSX and standard PS2 controllers are the same price. But you could probably find cheaper PSX controllers since they're older.
