The Xbox 360 controller Is in fact the greatest controller of all time

CNET UK decided to rank the top five video game controllers of all time and you'll be happy to know that the Xbox 360 controller did us very proud. Actually, according to CNET the 360's controller is the best gaming controller of all time! They thought that the controller is comfy, practical, and gets extra points for being the first to the gate in being a wireless standard. We agree. Going further down the list the 360's controller beat out favorites like the PS2, N64, SNES and Atari 2600 controllers. But we do have one issue with CNET's controller description. The Xbox 360 and its controller are not "beige" in color. They are a light kinda whitish ... greyish. So, please get it right.UIA_YO

Uhm, I don't know about you, but mine are just white, and my other 2 are just black. sooo yeah 

Not for fighting games though.

Nothings perfect.

I would have to agree, it's weight, shape, button placement are all awesome. My favorite controller of all time.

Nestalgia reasons people will disagree with you and say SNES controller is the best. From a tech standpoint, you maybe right:)

CNET = / = Fact.

it was their opinion.

PS controllers are the most balanced controllers for all genres thats why they have hardly changed the design, bc it works although the ps3 controller is a little light. I have no problem with the 360 controller cept the d-pa; it's way better than the original xbox controller. N64 controller sucks monkey balls and I love 64, but it has to be one of the worst designed controllers ever, and the gc controller is worse. Atari 2600 controllers had too rigid of a joystick, i primarily used a third party controller.

i love it

sure its better suited for shooters, but shooters is my favorite genre 

The 360 controllers great, but that damn d-pad kicks my ass in oblivion when i try to quick change weapons.

oh and anyone with OCD will hate it. Not symmetrical. i want my sticks to be in line with eachother.

PS3 controller is the best IMO

Agreed... though 360 is #2 in my book... it could be the years of my hand forming around ps controllers...

But.. the dpad is definatly the worst part about the 360 controller... I'm one of the few people who still will use the dpad for action games and such (though... after awile.. using the stick is more comfortable so.. it still happens). 

Great Controller,Zero Complaints from me.

The 360 controller is AWESOME, but the Playstation controller has its good points too...Roushrsh

It's really hard to go back to the Playstation controller after holding the 360's... it makes it feel really small and cheap... 

It feels good, because I never ever touched a PS or Nintendo COntroller so I won't know the feel for it. Hermitkermit

....:shock:

ROTFL

CNET must not have used the 360 D-pad in their "analysis"...

mmm it aint bad but... it didn't bring anything new or spectacular. The 360 controller did not deserve that.
