L3/R3 is on the ps2 controller as well. It's when you push down on the either stick and it makes a click noise.

And the only button the 360 controller has over that is the ability to press the d-pad in.
I was thinking they have R3 and L3 (I don't actually own them) but now that's when you press all four R/L buttons together, isn't it? Sorry, implementation, not controller design. Still too many. SNES is perfect for me.
I realize that I was thinking of the new L2/R2 trigger buttons. Not a fan.

PS1 dual shock controller has L3 and R3 as well. They all do besides the original controllers with no analog. SNES controller is nice.

Nope, we had it in Europe for a while too. My friend has one.

And considering you got the 2 game and watch collections, 2 wiiware games I really wanted and a game and watch, I hardly think you're prizes seem that bad. I wish I could get all those.

A SNES controller blows those out of the water. Game & Watch sucks.

Right on. I never understood the appeal of those G & W games. I like retro but definitely not Pong, G & W games, LED watches, etc.

I was fortunate to have bought my controller from ModMan. Speaking of him, where has he been lately?
