[QUOTE="rjdofu"][QUOTE="TheEroica"] Cows are the worst fear not... why the hate? Because i prefer one consoles controller over another and i called out the other two?

[QUOTE="rjdofu"] Prefer one controller =/= "blowing smmoke up sonys a$$". Now saying sh!t like "im pretty sure the guy with the smallest penis in the world invented that turd or a controller. " is ignorant. No one in this thread has said stupid sh!t like that to attack other faction except a few lems. The only one hating here, is you. At first i though it's definitely a joke, it's just that joke coming from you, so i think it's may as well be real.rjdofu

The layout, aside from the terribad dpad, and the comfort factor is true. It's fantastic. It's actual buttons however, leave alot to be desired with being very blocky and having no pressure sensitive tech. The joystick positions are great, but I prefer the loose style ones of ps3 personally. The actual triggers are also, in general, a much better idea than the ps3 ones by a large margin, but they'd be a thousand times better by implementing yet again, the pressure sensitive tech of the sixaxis. Without it, it creates barriers, and I've had two controllers that had the triggers get overly loose and stuck in position because it's the primary feature used for a large majority of the games. With such an important tool to a controller, you'd think they would have had those things optimized, at the very least, by now.

In terms of the sixaxis, I like everything, but the back triggers, and layout of the sticks. Their "swishy" factor is something I prefer, but the positioning was, and still is absolutely terrible. In the end, I'd say the 360 controller is a good jump off point for future controllers, but they gotta make it more responsive with the buttons, do something with the dpad, and for the love of god, reinforce those triggers.

You seem inconsistence.PSP107

You mean inconsistent?And not at all. Both have very good ideas, but with those ideas, they have flaws in their respective areas. Just gotta see those faults in what are otherwise great ideas. Pointing out a fault in what is otherwise a nearly perfect feature is needed.

It's generally the best out there for it's versatility. Other than the D-pad (which I have no problems with since I don't play d-pad heavy games) but I've heard people don't like it so I'll assume that's it's greatest weakness. Only improvements I would like would be greater stick durability and maybe a rubberised finish. Other than that it completely whitewashes the competition in terms of comfort. Thumbsticks are much nicer for racing games, higher resistance.

Rather ironic that you could certainly argue the symmetrical nature of the PS controller makes it better for shooters, but that's another argument entirely. As a general rule, better ergonomics = better controller, and we all know the playstation ergonomics department hasn't been in use since the 90s

• Perfect Joystick Layout

• Size

• Comfortability

• Just the Right Amount of Complexity

• Great Control

And since we are in 2008 why not complain the PS3 (that sits on the table) is too heavy, and the six axis (that you hold on your hand for hours) is too light. And it doesn't matter if you touch the 360 while you play it kills the disk because that never happens even if in the first year half the consoles they sold came with controllers with cords.Kane04

This is some funny ****.

Its all personal preference. Some people like the 360 controller, some people like the dualshock.

The 360 and gamecube were probably my favorite controllers.

I always more or less thought the DS felt like a fragile toy. I also prefer the triggers on the 360 controller as opposed to the Chicklets on the DS . Are their any 3rd party PS3 controllers with triggers?

It's sh!tty when playing soccer, action and fighting games.

Xbox 360 controller is the best hands down, I even use it when playing on my pc

Only way I'll ever buy another console is if it comes with a KB/Mouse to play with. But, then again, I already am a PC gamer and have a high end PC. So it would be useless. Gamepads are terrible.

The only thing the 360 controller has above the DS3 are the triggers. Everything else and the DS3 fells better as a controller for me

The ps3 is terrible worst multiplatform games and the controller is terrible it feels like a f*cking McDonald's happy meal toy PcGamingElitist

I'll give you one reason why controllers should NOT be like the 360 controller:

1. The D-Pad is a sorry excuse of a D-Pad for fighting games. And in case you didn't know, consoles are supposed to be the platform for playing fighting games since doing so with a keyboard is garbage. Lemme guess, you don't play Street Fighter or Tekken.
