    Been thinking of buying one of these!

    Xbox 360 that is of course.

    Been playing GRAW on my housemates Xbox and its been a really good laugh. A good game. I havent played games for ages, well not since CS/UT was the happenin thing.

    Only thing thats holding me back from buying one is i hate the fact you have to use a controller and not a nice keyboard and mouse

    Might just get me a gamertag anyhow so i can atleast build up some points etc rather than being a guest all the time.

    So if i am gonna have to be forced to use a pad. Whats the best out there?

    The standard MS wireless one doesnt seem all that accurate though i am getting used to it slowly.

    never ever use unofficial pads with consoles

    they are, without exception, ****

    and it's been that way since the mid 80s

    he speaks the truth, shonky pads that gave you useless "turbo" were the bane of my early years

    If the beta is anything to go by then don't bother. It's just Halo 2 with 'improved' graphics.

    I've got a wireless one but don't use it. I think the standard official wired controller is the best.
