Got my Xbox 360 controller for PC

I haven’t had a PC gamepad since I broke my awesome Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Analog (it was a great controller, not like their tacky range of crap in the lower price bracket.)

Anyway it broke, I superglued it, it broke again I superglued it solid so it no longer functioned as a controller and I’ve been controllerless since.

Soo, XNA plus recent purchase of the latest Prince of Persia (for half price on steam) means it’s time to get controllered up! I just 2 days ago got an EB voucher from my sister, and thats the end of the story.
The xbox controller is an obvious choice, because it’s the most compatible with XNA (obviously) but PoP (not so obviously) specifically supports just the xbox controller, OR you have to manually hook everything up to your gamepad controls and the gamepad doesn’t properly control the menus and stuff (it’s pretty poor actually :/).
I have always been a fan of nintendo controllers, (I love the gamecube controller!). And anti playstation controller (the handles are too small!). I really didn’t like either iteration of the xbox controller (s was obviously better than the infamous giant original xbox controller). But the xbox 360 has a great controller. It’s good to see evolution working in the right direction.

That doesn’t mean I don’t totally want one of these awesome Wii classic controllers though:

One day. Or maybe one day I’ll hack or buy a converter from SNES to USB
