i've seen quite a few posts on this recently. The analog sticks and placement and design cant be beaten imo. I'm honestly on the fence getting a ps3 for this reason.

Yeah i love the 360 controller. The duahshock feels outdated in comparison, but i wouldnt let that put you off getting the PS3. Yeah, its been a little difficult to get used to when it comes to FPS but its still worth it imo.

I used to think the 360 gamepad was great... then I started using it a lot.

The analogue sticks are too thin and concave which makes it hard to hold it in one direction for extended periods of time. The face buttons are not pressure sensitive and are too round. The shoulder bumpers are hard to hit with the index fingers. And the d-pad was invented by the devil.

Sure, the thing fits into your hands but the Wavebird slaughters it. And hell, I prefer the Dualshock despite it causing severe hand cramps... at least it has a d-pad that is usable.

It's supirior indeed but at the same time I feel it's terribly overrated. Don't get me wrong it is my favorite controller this gen but I've prefered the DS3 for these games; GRID, Dirt, Prince of Persia (and I can't imagine playing these exlusives on the 360 controller Naruto:UNS, LBP). So if you're really not getting a TREY because of the controller I think you're silly because DS3 worked fine for any game I've played on it.

I'm sorry, let m,e just clarify........ You are waiting on getting a PS3 because of the controller? :lol: Yes, fanbiys make this into soemthing to worry about. The reality is, the DS3 is just fine. Yes, one may be better than the other (just oh so slightly) for certain types of games. But, come on! Its a matter of time with the controller and getting comfortable with it.

Yeah you nailed it all on the head right there. I really do not see how its superior apart from the triggers. The joysticks and the buttons above the triggers leave a lot to be desired in almost all genres apart from the FPS where the Joysticks are better? Or so you say although i fail to see how? I use a 360 Pad more than a PS3 pad currently and i really do not see how its so much more superior.

What's the use of pressure sensitive buttons these days? Only thing I think they would be useful in is racing games, and we now have triggers for that.

I guess I'm just easy going. I play both systems, and have absolutely no problem going from 360 to DS3. I would prefer a real trigger on the DS3, not that let's make a trigger we can call our own nonsense. But I would like a D pad that I can accurately press a corner on with 360. It's not a real problem.

360 controller blows, maybe if it had a usable Dpad it would be different, It's a sad day when the DSlites dpad is better than the supposed "best" controller.

To each their own. My first sixaxis only holds a charge for about 3+ hours now. I can't replace the batteries in it. I have to buy a new controller. I get batts pretty cheap, their fine by me.

Odd comparison. Let me try! Linksys 4 port router is like distilled white vinegar. -And this whole controller debate is ridiculous. Preferences are fine and everything but both controllers are great. End. And if your one of those people who says that the "PS3 controller hurts my handz!!." You need to go to the hospital... (I would fear for your life if you guys ever tried to fret a guitar)

Not everyone likes triggers... I personally find they add unneeded encumbrance to button pushing.

And racing wheels are FAR superior for racing games. Never again will I use a gamepad.

Yeah a friend of mine had his PS3 longer and his controllers are holding up, but I used mine a lot, and therefore recharged a lot. It's the nature of rechargeable batts, they will die eventually. I'm glad Ican replace the batts in my 360 ones.

I like the 360 controller better, it just feels more sturdy. The PS3 controller is the same old design, and it's so old that's probably why people prefer it because they're so use to it.

Minor things... like fighting game input and XBLA 2D game input?

PS3 remote = small hands.

360 remote = medium to large hands.

When i use the sticks on my PS3 controller my thumbs always smash into each other. Then on top of it all I gotta stretch my fingers to reach the bumpers and hold them there. Instead of resting them on a trigger. There is many flaws with the PS3 controller. The only flaw 360 remote has is the D-pad.

I'm glad 360 has removable batteries. You can recharge wireless... And if your batteries can no longer hold a charge like my 2 1/2 year oldones can't do any more. You can easily replace them.

Analogue sticks are never fine for fighting games. Its either d-pad or arcade stick.

The 360 d-pad is good enough for nothing. It is possibly the worst d-pad ever made and severely hurts the 360 gamepad's all-around functionality.

I agree with this guy. I have larger than average hands, and they actually cramp up after a 30-60 min session of KZ2 or Socom. I have not had problems with the batteries on the PS3 controller, but I have 2 of them. So, when one runs out, I just charge it and use the other one. I do prefer just throwing in another charged battery pack on the 360 controller though...too easy. Since I play a lot of first person shooter, I definitely prefer the 360 controller. It just fits my hands better and seems to be made for shooters.

The D-Pad is crap for fighting games needing more precise movements like Virtua Fighter 5 and SFIV, but it's playable for games like SCIV and DoA (and only those 2, sucks for all other arcade games needing it...2D and 3D), and the analog works perfectly with SFIV.

Agreed. And to the guy saying you cant turn off the ps3 controller errr just hold the ps button
