yes, the 5200 is a awesome system. .ive played it at my friends house and im now waiting for mine to arrive..the joysticks are really not that bad for some reason i find them more comfortable than the 7800 joysticks but i agree the analog function and construction is half assed you can tell they rushed them if the controller goes bust u have to get a new one (but this is already known worldwide) at least atari should have put control buttons for the reset , select and pause directly on the console .because some games you cant even start without it its like a key to a car..this really ticked off my friend because Both his controllers fried out in the same day so he had to spend lots of money to get new rebuilt ones..other than that i think the 5200 is awesome the only analog controller that are really well built are the ones for the ps2 and xboxes ...btw this is my first post
