I've actually gotten sores on my thumbs from the PS3 sticks, cause they're not smooth or indented like their past versions or the Xbox controllers. That being said, anyone who says a Dreamcast is a piece of shit needs to shut the fuck up and get the fuck out. To this day I still have my DC hooked up and will rip out some classic games on it (Jet Set Radio, the Sonic Adventures, Shenmue, so on and so forth), and truth be told in the past 2 years it's gotten more playtime with games I've beaten dozens of times before than my PS3 has.
The controller may of been wonky, but it was still a comfortable controller. The PS3 controller would be a LOT more comfortable if it had a little more weight to it, when I pick them up I feel like I'm about to break it.
