I relocated my computer into my living room, and while text doesn't look so great in the Windows desktop, games are in-frickin-credible!!!

I've currently got a MS Sidewinder gamepad and a MS Sidewinder Precision Pro. The PP works great for Mech games and flight sims, but not so well for shooters. With a pad, how would you use mouselook . . .with analog sticks?

Too bad you can't put an X-Box controller on a PC. ;)

Most FPS people still prefer mouse and keyboard.

There are PS2 (Playstation) to USB adapters available. Do a search on Google.

Actually I think you can do that because there's some sort of adapter that is sold to do that. You could also try the logitech wireless rumblepad or a gravis pad. They have the 2 analog sticks common to console controllers.
