Don't downvote me.

But didn't the dualshock controller come out during the PS2 era?

Nah, At first it was just the controller but without the Vibration and the 2 analog sticks. Eventualy they released one with Vibration function and the 2 sticks.

It wasnt used as it was today. Today PS2/PS3 games for the most part use the analog stick to move the character and the D-Pad is used for other things, Like press left to recharge, or press up to turn on night vision goggles. That kinda stuff.

The PS1 dual shock was supported by games. New games were getting vibration function. And games did support the twin sticks, but the game allowed you to use both the D-Pad or the Analog stick to move the character. They both severed the same purpose. But the analog is just a more comfortable way.

The Sony fanboys sure have been touchy recently.

Oh well, never mind, I'll forget all about them while enjoying me some left for dead.

You realise that half of the reason you were downvoted is because you said "Don't downvote me" right? Of course the other half is because you spouted complete nonsense about something that is common-knowledge, but still...

that's a cool accessory.

@AerialAngel
well, at least they stay faithful to the design and colors for a small accessory.
the original color of ps1 is grey anyways.

it doesn't look bad. it's pretty cool actually it's dirty white to greyish in which case any form of stain or dirt won't be recognizable. lol
