I always need a new pad after a kick butt game. My first game I needed a new one for was MotoGP (part one). I shifted so much 2 buttons went almost dead.
I remember those days(Moto GP). I'm still pissed i never fully got the hang of shifting. I was always in the thousand spots but could never pull -1000 because i can never get the shifting down pat. Plus i didnt help that in MGP 1 people cheated on some tracks. :roll: I'll go pick up either Sega GT(cant beat $19.99 minus 20% off hehe) or PGR 2(49.99 minus 20% also) to see how good i can be again. All in good fun though.
dude, i had to replace my favorite controller too....then i bought a new one...and put him to rest a few days ago! i feel your pain man...i feel your pain....
