You need to move the Start and Select Buttons above that right Analog, tho' ;P
I completely disagree. I have a PSP and using that analog nub is bad enough but it is also extremely uncomfortable with the way it is positioned. It is pretty much where you suggest the right analog stick should be and trust me it is not fun to get a cramp every five minutes you use the analog stick. Also, I have an idea for the analog sticks. First of all, and I'm pretty sure they are but I can't exactly remember, they had better be sticks and not nubs because the nub on the PSP sucks. Second of all, we need to think of a way for the analog sticks to exist without having them make the craigulator bulge out in your pocket. I was thinking maybe they could start slightly indented in a little crater kind of like what someone suggested for the triggers on the back. That might be a little bit awkward though if they go too far in so maybe the analog stick could be detachable for when you want to put it in your pocket. Then there could be a place to put the detached analog sticks. I'm not sure if I like that, I'm just thinking out loud here.
You wanna talk about cramps, try having those start and select buttons be heavy-use buttons, like A and B, whereas, with them above the stick, you won't have that problem. Think about it, how many FPSes will be on this system? Because that's really the main reason that right analog would even be there, aside from some PS1 games. (If I remember correctly, the PS1 didn't make very heavy use of the Dual Analogs, although I could be wrong, seeing as how I never owned one) By moving those 2 buttons above the right analog, you'll have a lot less people bitching about needing six buttons.

That is true, of course since I would rather play PS1 with two comfortable analog sticks and then use X and O or [] as A and B than play N64 with A and B as start and select then I'd rather have the analog stick higher but that's just my preference. And you are right that not very many PS1 games use the right analog stick but I think sports games do and I'm not really sure I just know I like PS1 more than N64 and would rather have to cope with bad N64 controls than bad PS1 controls. Also, I've kind of gotten used to playing N64 with a "C-stick." It will probably just be decided by Craig's personal preference though. Couldn't you play with A and B as X and [] or O? What does everyone else think should be higher, the stick or start and select? Oh yah and this is a quick question for Craig, is there going to be a limit for how big of an SD card we can use? I sure hope not because I want to get an 8gb card but then soon 16gb and 32gb cards are coming out that would be great to use when the prices drop from $700!!!
I'm the other way around, I'd rather have better N64 emu than PS1, especially if the only things that really takes the hit are sports games, because I generally don't like those. Also, I despise the C-stick with a divine passion, and it is completely and utterly horrible trying to play a game like OoT with the C-stick.
