They get the job done but I like 360's better. KB and M still own everything though.

I like teh controls, yes ther controls feel tighter on teh 360, but also that is why Xbox analogs break so often. I have had my 360 2 weeks and 2 controllers went kapuut. Im on 2 more. I have had my Wii and PS3 controlesr, along with the Logitech for my PC for years and they are just as good as before. And I am suuuuuper safe with my stuff.

It does depend on whos making the game tho. I do like the Analogs more on a PS3, D-Pad is better on PS3, but the buttons on are better on the 360. Ps3 is squishy, but doesnt bother me, besides on some PS2 titles, that dont read the shoulders buttons as well as they could.

give you an idea of how bad the rubber bands are on the analogs for 360...my friend has had 9 controllers, 1 of which does not have broken analogs.

i treat them like the most preciois things around. Everyone knows the rules in my gaming basement. But they just snapped on me while playing games. I thought my friend was being rough with his controllers or something to have 8 of 9 controllers break, but hes a baby with them too. Hes also had 4 RROD, so I was just htinking it was bad luck.

:lol: then I go 2 for 2 with broken analogs. and now I got 2 more. We are packing all our broken contollers and mailing them to the front desk of M$. We have other friends with broken ones too, so were going to send those in. Should be about 20ish controllers they will be receiving.

It all really depends on your preferences.

Some games come with the option to make the aiming looser or tighter.

others you just have to get used to it and compensate for the lack of whatever it is you dislike

Well, I've always felt that the joysticks for the PS3 felt too "loose" (I suppose that's the term I'm looking for) when compared to the 360. I'm so used to the triggers of the Xbox and 360 controllers that it feels weird using the shoulder buttons. Honestly though, it's all about oppinion. I don't think the PS3 controllers are bad for shooters, I just think it gets some getting used to depending on what you've used.

Hope that helps in someway :/
Haha
