For use with Sony Playstation-2 / Lets you feel the thrills and action of the game
The layout of PlayStation2's Dual Shock 2 controller is nearly identical to that of the original PlayStation's Dual Shock controller, which is good news for most gamers. The main new feature is that, when the buttons are pushed, the controller can register how much pressure is being exerted. This adds a completely new dimension to sports, racing, fighting, and more games. Aside from the Start and Select buttons, all of the functions are analog for greater control, a wider variety of operations, and a more compelling interactive experience. Two convex analog thumb pads and two force-feedback solenoid rumblers round out the features. This controller is also compatible with all software that supports the original Dual Shock controller.

I really couldn't image ever using another controller with... more info

And since, unfortunately, Sony has only included 1 controller with most bundles, you will inevitably HAVE to purchase an extra controller anyway. So it might as well be the one the system was... more info
Execelent Control:
What can I say, it's an original PS2 Control, everything I need to play hours and hours of my favorite games.
A must have for xtra guests!:
Though only a handful of Playstation2 games require two or more players, is always best to keep an extra set of controllers at home.
They are long lasting, and can withstand some minor abuse such as falls on the floor, or the anger of a young frustrated player who tossed it away after loosing a round.
SONY made these in other colors, and I'm glad they went beyond the basic black, and included this ocean blue and the gray, and a few others. This one has some transparency so you can see a little... more info
