Totally off topic (as if it matters), do you play FPS on gamepad?
I just don't see the point in learning to play most games on a gamepad.
If you took a FPS designed to properly support gamepad and mouse, then took the worlds best players from the PC and the best on consoles (gamepad users) and set out to see which control interface was more accurate - you'd see a heavy advantage go to mouse users.
Proof of this is the development of Shadowrun which has crossplatform play. The developers actually added autoaim assist for the gamepads and added an expanding reticule for PC mouse users to even the playing field. So essentially they had to gimp the mouse and keyboard setup so console players wouldn't get torn a new one.
Microsoft and Sony both realize this, so it's no suprise that despite the usb capability on both systems - neither support use of a mouse (with exception of UT3 on PS3).
I don't think consoles can keep delivering a satisfying game experience heading into the future if all they ever offer gamers is gamepads for most games. They need to open it up and allow gamers to decide how to they wish to enjoy their games. Until then, I'll never drop 60 bucks on a FPS on a console.
Really, the only games (other than BOP) I've felt were worth risking 60 bucks on were GT5 prologue and SF IV - both of which (you guessed it) have excellent alternatives to the standard controllers. BOP is collecting dust because flight sticks don't work like they should and using a gamepad is like wiping my butt with one square of toilet paper - too sloppy.
