So can you play with the analog instead of the d-pad? My assumption would be yes but I dunno maybe they wanted to keep it old school or something. I currently don't have any sticks or anything (and I hate the 360 dpad) so hopefully analog works.

Yeah...I definitely like the game, just got it today in Gamefly, but got it on the 360....and the majority of moves is done with the d-pad(analog up and down controls sidesteps, which aren't used much, d-pad up/down control actual jumps or ducks) so I think I'm gonna send it back and rent the PS3 version because I just can't do shit with the controller. Everytime I go to hit back or forward, especially since some moves go from down to back, or back to forward, I jump or do something I don't mean to do.

So you can't switch side stepping to the d pad? That's harsh. With this and SFIV coming out soon it looks like I have to get myself a controller with a decent d pad.
