Re: PS2 Contollers vs Joysticks

I voted for the PS2, assuming that the Logitech Game pads fit in to a "generic PS2" category.

The biggest benefit is that it allows the driver to move about while driving... especially important in this year's game what with all the glare.

The second benefit is the isolation of controls. You can seperate the buttons from the x-y, and can even seperate the x from the y by using both thumbs.

The third benefit is that you don't accidentaly bump the trims and/or have to reset them (yeah, we've tried taping them in place, but they still need adjustment)... although a digital joystick would share this benefit.
