   Went ahead and bought it, sounds like a great deal. I'm not too thrilled   
   that you have to turn the rumble on and off, but at least it's better   
   than removing the memory card just to put in the rumble pack.   
      
   Now to try to find an affordable Expansion pack thing. I still don't see   
   how they can charge $10+ for that thing...but sadly, it looks like I may   
   have to pay that as it doesn't seem to come any cheaper. :(

   I'm not sure on the rumble or analog stick thing, I don't know if Sony   
   or Sega beat them to the punch on that or not. Never really kept up,   
   just loved it once it came about. :)
