   I've not ever seen that, but I have seen the MK and SF controllers that   
   are very Saturn-like. If the version of GG on the Xbox isn't much   
   different than the one on the DC, it doesn't seem like it'd be worth the   
   time of finding it anyway. I'm more interested in that one that has the   
   tag team thing in it, which may very well be a PS2-only version.

   I agree. Plus, it seems like 3rd party developers in Japan are still   
   cranking out PS2 games...in fact, just today I heard about that AoF   
   Compilation coming to the PS2(Japan-only, I'm sure). That's very hip.   
   Sounds like the PS2 will be the new DC in terms of still being supported   
   well after the 1st party ditches it for the next iteration. I know I'd   
   finally get off my ass and pick up one of those slim-ass PS2 models if   
   Sony released some sort of firmware update to play PSX/PS2 imports on   
   the damn thing. ;)
