I hate people who criticize the X-Box controller for either its size, or the giant "X" jewel in the middle. It beats the shit out of any other controller out there. You're right about the keyboard/mouse thing, but some games do go quite flowingly with a game pad.

And Death, remember, not everyone can afford a top-of-the-line-for-now computer For the average player, the glory of ultimate preformance is limited. You'll have you're fun with Half-Life 2, though.
I know, I got a free copy of Half Life 2 when I bought my graphics card.

Anyway, like you said, the Xbox controller is the best there is. The buttons are a tiny bit too spread out (such as the black and clear buttons), so using them for extended periods is a bit tiring on the paws, but you get used to it after a while. Consoles definately should be considered for those who want the latest games but can't afford the pc hardware to go with it.

Sausages!
