I need to get a gamepad to play games like madden 2k3, nba live 2k3, etc. It needs to have dual analog. Doensnt need to be wireless. Also, i dont want to break the bank. Any suggestions?

I still like my MS sidewinder game pad, if you can still find them, they'll be cheap. They're durable, and have a good feel to them.
 
After months of looking around myself, I got what I consider to be the best quality gamepad on the cheap from Compgeeks last spring-the <A HREF="http://www.maximum3d.com/reviews/dualanalog.htm" target="_new">Guillemot Dual Analog Gamepad</A>. It's been off the shelves for a while, so when you find one, it will probably be a very cheap closeout item.

You can have mine for $10, I have joint damage in my left thumb, no cordination in my right, and can't use gamepads any more. Had to move back to joystick, with fewer buttons🙁 I actually got half way decent with my right thumb, but I'm still better off with a joystick.

If you look around enough, you might find a new one for $8. Otherwise, mines only got about 5 hours of frustration, er, use.

I'm looking around for places to buy it... I may just have to take you up on that offer though. I'll also check out the sidewinder. Thanks all.

This is the largest unit I could find, none of the rest I tried at best buy, circuit city, or comp usa would fit my hand.
