The post was meant to be kind of humorous...but in all seriousness why the hell are those stupid dots on the Dreamcast Controller? Is some blind kid going to attempt to play videogames? Those dots annoy the hell out of me.

I think you make a valid point about the bumps on the analog pad - they definitely rubbed me the wrong way the first time I handled a DC controller. I never noticed them during play however.

I like the DC controller for some games, but it's hard to use with others. 2D fighters for example.
In SF Alpha 3 and Street Fighter III 3rd Impact, is there anyone who can use the triggers properly as a punch or kick button? I always remap the triggers to be the light punch/kick, and use the 4 face buttons for the mediums / strongs, otherwise I'd never win a battle. The Genesis 6-button pad was awesome for 6-button fighting. I bought an interplay 3rd party controller which has the 6 buttons, but its D-pad control is even worse than the stock DC d-pad, so no help really. Speaking of the d-pad, it makes me jump in the air when I try the chargeback, then F/B/F moves. Ugh!
Fortunately, Marvel VS Capcom 2 has a simplified scheme which is easy to use with a stock DC controller.
I also find the analog too sensitive in many games. But I adjust.

Actually Dave, I was talking about the single raised dot on each of the four face buttons...not the tiny bumps on the analog stick (those don't bother me). Another person mentioned Virtua Tennis and that game is a workout for my thumbs. Even my roomates complained about having sore hands after prolonged sessions with that game.

The problem with jet grind radio is that no one bought it! Everyone complains about current video games lack of style, creativity, etc... well consumers made their own beds with the dreamcast and now they must lie in it. Sega is sinking slowly and it is in part due to their inability to stay current. To me they are the devo of video games.. ahead of their time and not totally understood. They are the quiet kid in the back of the class with untapped talent or something to offer. Sorry for the rant.
