You have to ask!? Its the same shoddy "split" D-Pad that dates back to the PS1 controller. I figured after 14 years sony would make some attempt to correct it.

 

Here is what a really good D-Pad looks like.

This is why Darc Requiem is the smartest person on these boards. Saturn dpad is the best Dpad in gaming. Look it up on the net people...people will kill your mom to get their hands on the limited edition PS2 saturn pad beacuse games like Street Fighter, SHMUPS and other 2D games don't play the same without it.

PS1 and PS2 dualshock Dpads were horrid. PS3 one got a little better...but it still isn't worth a hair on the saturn controllers ass.

 

I miss some of those older times when companies actually knew how to make a good d-pad.  The SNES had a decent one.  The 6-button Genesis controller had a decent one too (the 3 button's was too sharp IMO but still better than most of what we see today).
