N64...Um..the PS3 controller 1. Hasn't been released...and 2. doesn't look all that comfortable..with its Boomerang shape and all. If you put in PS3, where's N.W.A? (Nintendo Wii America acronym)

PS2 definately. I hated the N64, had no idea how I was supposed to hold that thing. The XBox is stupid, it was bulky and the newer one is better but the 2 other buttons are still stupid. The 360 is pretty good but I don't like how the bottom triggers stick out so much. Gamecube's is just stupid.

The PS3 controller isn't the boomerang anymore. They'll show the new one on Monday.

I'd say the N64 and PS1 (with dualshock)/PS2 controllers are the two best ones. N64 just seems to work so well, same goes with the PS1/PS2 controllers, gotta love the analog. For a controller i dont like, i dont get how anyone could possibly like the bulky Xbox controller. Its fairly heavy for a controller and the placement of buttons isnt that great at all.

I love you had to hold the N64 by the middle stick making the L button unusable in a clutch situation. The N64 games control so much better on my PC with my "Firestorm 2" which is a DualShock rip off with two extra buttons.

What about the older controllers? As it is "all time" favourite controller.

I loved the SNES controller, simplicity at its best.

Well basically all the other controllers are some way or another rip offs of the SNES controller.

(Trigger buttons, four face buttons...)

I still prefer the dual shock to anything else...even on PC games I use an adaptor for my PS1 controller...it's so ergonomically perfect...

Sony openly ripped off the SNES controller, Kutaragi added the extra triggers because he figured 3D games would require more complex controls (even though few SNES games used the L/R buttons) and the ergonomics for one key reason. Now that you're older than eight (well, most of you...) try using a SNES controller for an extend period of time. It'll kill your hands if they're at least average in size. That thing was so thin.

I like analog triggers like Dreamcast and Xbox for driving games because it feels more realistic, but nevertheless I think I have to go with the DualShock and anything that rips it off.

The PS2 controller is good and I have no complaints for it. However, the new X360 controller is the best controller I have ever used. The thing is perfect.

yeah Super Nintendo for sure... Sony just picked up where Nintendo left off when they went crazy in the controller department with N64... I hate the Xbox controller cuz the stupid "white" and "black" buttons are out of the way.
