I loved the dreamcast as any other fellow, but you guys are rosetinting its controller too much. Yes the VMU was ace, specially docked alongside a secondary rumble pack, however the things would eat through batteries and I had to keep a stack of spares around. The crosspad was borderline useless due to its bricky design (not their fault though, back then nintendo held a dpad copyright) and the shoulder triggers offered excessive travel for my taste. At least they came in a platitude of different colors and thus were collectable.
