Feh, it sounds to me like that guy was just a nitwit. Gushing over something new I can understand, but he was practically drooling over the fact that you can now play console games with the same level of control that every FPS on the PC has. It's like when my cousin was gushing to me about how happy he was that they finally ported Diablo II to the Mac, months after it had been out on PC (this isn't meant to be a slam on macs or mac users, so keep your pants on).

He talks about how you can change the view quickly compared to a mouse. It seems that despite his many hours playing Battlefield II, our friend has never once taken the time to fiddle with the "mouse sensitivity" option. I wonder if that's hurting his game.

More importantly, though, someone asked him whether or not the controller would work well for long periods, and he essentially brushed off the question. He said that the controller was light, but he didn't acknowledge the fact that holding your arm in front of you for an extended period is bound to be tiring, regardless of how light the controller is.


But I digress. He said he was initially skeptical, and so am I. The controller could be a really great innovation. Like the DS.
