I've always wondered why the EASports college games are not on PC? Is there something preventing them from being able to do this?

Why would you want to play it on PC? It's all about playing it on XBox. Honestly, football games on the XBox controllers feels exteremely natural; It's on the verge of being weird.

milo, I was just thinking tonight how much more I love my xbox than I ever did my ps2. I don't know why. I know lot's of people, especially at first, said the xbox controller was inferior but I always thought it felt just right.

It depends on what you are playing. For me, sports games, especially football just feel right with the XBox. Shooters also get a bit of an advantage. But, IMO, platformers, racing games and RPG's just feel better on the PS2. It's all obviously personal opinion, though.

If you buy an XBOX controller converter for your computer, it feels pretty much the same as a console. I played Madden a year or two ago on the computer with a controller and enjoyed it as much as the console. But, it's a bit harder to squeeze a buddy or two around the PC to play multiplayer.

The xbox really is just a PC, you've got me why they don't make any PC versions... maybe most gamers that would play it have either a PS2 or xbox?

On the controllers... I always liked the huge original xbox controller, and the S ones are even better. I HATE the PS2 controller, they just aren't natural, the way both sticks are at the bottom, and the stupid shoulder buttons. The xbox is one of the best investments I've ever made... into wasting as much of my life as possible. :D

I personally still like the PS2 overall better. The PlayStation's game library is amazing. Microsoft should look at contracting more Japanese game developers. Consesus is they are the best at this kind of stuff.

I've never been able to get used to XBox controllers. I guess I will stick with my PS2 until PS3 comes out.

I thought PS3 controllers looked uncomfortable. They can do better though.
