<div class="IPBDescription">Mmm, gamepad</div> Long story short, I've got a Saitek P880.

Yeah, pretty. What exactly do I use it for? I mean, I don't exactly play many extreme sports games, and I don't see how it's going to help first person shooters or real time strategy games.

    Racing/flying games?
    Why'd you get it if you can't use it?

    Since it's analog, you can also emulate PSone, N64 and a few Dreamcast games.

    hey this is fun, lets see how many times we can repeat eachother:

    racing/flying sims!!! Don't for get emulators!

    Seriously though, I've got the same pad. The only thing that I've used it for is snes and n64 emu. Just wondering, how/why did you get it if you didn't know what to do with it?

    I use mine for such classics as Super Mario World, " " Kart, Killer Instinct etc. on Snex9x as well as PS1 games on ePSXe. As for PC games, Pro Evolution 3 and Legacy of Kain: Defiance were the latest applications.

    Emulation just isn't the same without one.

    You all know I'm stingy and only spend money when it's neccesary to maintain life, and even then it's a 50/50 chance. My brother got it for his birthday, and since we've got 1 computer I end up using it just as much. So like, do I buy Need for Speed Underground now? There's no way I'm playing a flight sim with that thing. Flight sim = joystick, no buts about it.

    Bah, rumble. If it's not in a joystick, then it shouldn't be there at all. With a gamepad, it's like they're trying to escape the grip of your hands.

    Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew?

    I regret to inform you that a subtitle such as '<i>Mmm, gamepad</i>' causes great confusion in one such as myself.

    I have one, the only thing I have ever used it for is the old PS emulator. Real nice to not have to lean over the keyboard to play FF7-9 though...
