I have been saying that to people since DC's launch, but over here in the UK, I get the sort of looks from folks that lead me to suspect that they're contemplating having me committed... ops:

The DC IS a GREAT games machine, even today! I nearly cry every time I pass a cheapo games store and see a boxed DC in the window with Virtua Fighter 3, Jet Set Radio and Sonic Adventure, all for £29.99!!! 8O Is this world we live in so MAD that people cannot see what a bargain this is?!? For the price of ONE new game, you could get a whole new console and three absolute CLASSICS!!! :roll:

Anyway, rant over...

Lance, I just checked my supply of DC pads, and I do indeed have a spare Madcatz one (in red), so if you change your mind, let me know.

I found that the Sega ones always failed in, believe it or not, the shoulder buttons. The plastic mechanism just seems to give way after too much Crazy Taxi (aceeeelllllleeeeeerrrraaaaattttteeeeeee... BRAKE!!! - repeat ad nauseum...)
