I got GT2 last month, and I have to say that Namco's NeGcon controller makes
those 24-hour sessions just fly past. *smirk* It's an analog racing controller
that you twist, vaguely like a steering wheel. The other great thing about
NeGcon; analog gas and brakes! You can even 'tap' the brakes realistically.

| (...) ARGH!!!! I keep hearing how wonderful that controller is for GT/GT2 on granturismo.com and I have NEVER been able to find on in person. It's sooo frustrating. Nearly a year of searching in two different states and I find nada. (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
