    i dont know what the hell you guys are talking about with the off-set sticks. The sticks on the DualShock are perfect. When i hold the controller the sticks are right where my thumbs go. Also, my thumbs arent off-set on my hands, they go to the same place if i hold my hands in the same way.

    I dont get why all during the PS1 and PS2, everyone said nothing wrong about the DualShock, then the instant the 360 releases everyone suddenly hates the DualShock for no apparent reason. Sony would have been stupid to "give into the 'demand'" and off-set the sticks. The only "demand" i ever hear is from journalists.
