Sixaxis vs Dualshock 3?? [POLL]

So here we are, which one do you prefer? Honestly, i prefer the lighter weight of the sixaxis and every time i've tried to use a dualshock 3 i've been totally put off by the vibration. It annoys me at this stage though that i have to pay nearly 100 australian dollars (roughly 30 more than the sixaxis) to get a new controller which i won't even like so much. So what's your preference?

ds3 is ten times better. Not only does it have the rumble but it has the six axis built in too.

Can't ask for much more.

Dualshock 3

Well since both have sixaxis, do you want to buy an old reg, or a new daulshock. Dont think they even make non dualshock anymore.

Reg - $20-30

Dualshock - $50 - 60

The vibration annoys you? Vibration is supposed to be something that you notice half-subconsciously and it enhances your gameplayed and helps immersion.

I prefer the heavier DualShock 3 over the Six Axis. The vibration is just an added extra, but it's never really been something I cared about. In some games, it's actually an annoyance, but really just depends.

DS3 is just a better controller. I have 2 DS3s and 2 Sixaxis controllers. Once you get a DS3 there's just no going back.

DS3... The Sixaxis controllers were made better and are more durable though. I still have my Sixaxis from my launch 60GB, and it works great.

actually the sixaxis are more fragile. I've destroyed a sixaxis controller in my hands by just twisting the dang thing (warhawk back in the day peeved me off hahaha).

ds3 are tougher.

If I could have them alter one thing on the DS3 it would be to tighten up the sticks.

Beside the rumble is there any other diffences between the sixaxis and ds.

weight and IMO the DS3 is more sturdy

The ds3 are far superior when playing games that make you hit L3 to sprint my sixaxis controllers would crumble.

I'm with you TC. I prefer the Sixaxis. My DS3 seems hyper sensitive. The right thumb stick will melee often when I'm trying to move my aim on MW2, resulting in sure death.

DS3. Though to be fair, the girl gamers I know prefer the sixaxis--they say the DS3 is too heavy for them.

I never had the choice between sixaxis and ds3 always got the ds3 with my slim but i have to admit htat that i turn off the vibrations most of the time when i'm playing because the vibrations aren't that subtle most of the time (killzone2 multiplayer for some reason, the vibs really piss me off) and to much vibrations make my pinkys feel numb. however i have been using it with the recent GT5 time trial where they feel more balanced. I am not pleased at the price of the DualShock 3 though.

Guess we will have to agree to disagree.

I prefer the DS3. The added function of the DS3 is great, but I actually like it more due to its heavier/solid feel. The Sixaxis just felt cheap/flimsy.

i really dont notice much of a weight difference either. i do think the analog sticksare tighter on my sixaxis controllers though. regardless, we shouldnt be complaining, we have the bestjoystick of all the consoles.

DS3 is superior to me. It has everything the Sixaxis has along with rumble. Also I think the Sixaxis feels just a little to light and the DS3 just feels better with the added weight.

I just like the sturdiness of the DS3. My Sixaxis has really jacked up analog sticks.

Sixaxis. I prefer the fact that it's lighter as well as the lack of vibration because I don't like vibration and some games don't let you turn it off. However, my Sixaxis's analog stick is messed up and I'm not shelling $50 for a new controller. So I use my DS3. :(StealthMonkey4

Microsoft still has the best pad. When is Sony going to realize that they need to switch up the sticks just a tad--has this not been a complaint from gamers since the very first dualshock?

Dualshock 3

DualShock 3- The only time I was my Sixaxis is when my DualShock is charging...and for some reason, if i don't use my Sixaxis for a while the analog sticksget all oily for some reason...does this happen to anybody else?

DS3 has Six Axis controls in it...so.....

I've yet to get a DS3 controller. I might soon because of my current controller issues.

But I don't really feel a motor makes much of a difference. If there is no difference in price, I'll get a DS3. But, if it costs more. Then I'll just get another sixaxis controller.

DS3 wins by default because 2 of my sixaxis controllers succumb to the auto-walk function :P Rakuho

That's the exact same problem I have! I know those games that require you to "Forward + L3" play a big part in causing that problem.

Dualshock 3 because it has rumble and it feels more heavier than the other light controller.

I'm not sure why anyone would prefer sixaxis over dual shock. The sixaxis controller is too light and feels very cheap IMO.

How is this even a question? Dualshock 3 is better in everyway.Adziboy

Dual Shock 3.. Outside the rumble, the wieght is far better.. Siraxis feels like a empty shell.. Furthermore DS3 feels way more sturdy and higherquality.sSubZerOo

DS3 FTW!! I like the weight and I like the rumble.
