I got this for Christmas and love it. I was thinking about the rumble one P2500 ain't it? but the idea of having to faff about with wires as I slide about racing tracks doesn't appeal to me.

Batteries last well but ofcourse depends how much you use it, thank god for two :)

Only game I'm having a slight problem with this is Battlefield 2, requires severe tinkering in its game menu and whines about keys already used which it lies!

Not sure what the red button does... doesn't seem to have any effect on anything, not that I have noticed anyway.

ck2k01, when you say broke, was it the d-Pad that broke away? Mine just snapped several days ago and waiting for a replacement. From what it looks like its a weak design. For something that gets hammered so much it should not break so quickly.
