If you're buying a Dreamcast then you're going to get a control pad with it, providing you're buying new of course. But the Dreamcast has four controller ports, so you may as well make use of them - find some friends if you haven't got any, and start playing those fantastic multiplayer titles - but you will need more than one controller, so if you want my advice - go for the official Sega Dreamcast product, other pads have been known to fall apart really easily, but the DC official pad is strong, ergonomic - very comfortable and most importantly it's only £9.99 from Sega themselves - check out there website (www.sega-europe.com), very good indeed! Other retailers are still selling them for £20, so that's great value.

The pad fits comfortably into your hands, with two trigger shoulder buttons at the back - 2 VMU/1VMU + 1 Vibration pack slots - something unique to the Dreamcast - the memory cars slot into the pad and not the console, saving space, and confusion - its a Visual memory Unit so you can see little animations through the slot in the pad, brilliant idea.

The pad also has an analogue stick, d-pad and four main buttons - A B X Y, and of course the start button. It's a very well designed futuristic kind of looking controller, and it's the only one you should consider for the DC. Strong, comes in a box + instructions should you need them, and is available in 5 colours - grey, yellow, orange, green and blue. But you may have trouble locating the coloured pads.

Thanks for reading.
