I mean on the PS3, the R2+L2 buttons curve down so that your fingers slip off them all the time! That is sooo incredibly stupid! The 360 triggers curve up and are incredibly easy to grip onto and use!

Does everyone agree that this is a feature where the 360 is better than the PS3, or does anyone actually think that the PS3's L2+R2 buttons are better than the 360's triggers?

Yeah, i hate the R2 and L2 triggers. Sony should have just stuck with buttons if they cant get triggers right.

Yeah the 360 triggers are nice but I guess I'm just use to L2 and R2 so I like 'em better.

I agree.

But my opinion isn't really valid because I play with the 360 controller every day, whereas I only play with the DS3/Sixaxis when I play on someone else's Ps3.

personally, I hate the L2/R2 triggers, I had to buy the Gioteck Triggers for it. I prefer PS2 L2/R2 buttons. I'm not really a fan of triggers, but I thought the original Xbox controller triggers were good, not the controller S, I mean the very first controller.

PS3's triggers could use a little groove in them to stop your finger sliding off, but really, I've had no problem with them. Both 360 and PS3 triggers are pretty equal in terms of guality.

I don't think they are better than the 360's triggers, but i think they are an improvement over the PS2 buttons.

I like both controllers overall. For some reason I think the DS3 triggers are better than the sixaxis. Its probably just my imagination but they feel more comfortable.

The 360 controller is better in every aspect with the exception of the crap digital pad, i realise they are fixing that issue but that doesn't do those of us that have already purchased all of our controllers we need a lot of good :(.

the new R2/L2 buttons are the worst feature on the ps3 controller. i don't know why they had to go about fixing what isn't broken. it's probably one of the reasons why almost all fps use the top shoulder buttons for firing/the more important functions.

Yeah I think it was time for a change regarding the shoulder buttons. Kind of like how MS added two buttons to the shoulder from the previous Xbox for the XB360. I guess Sony and MS borrowed ideas from eachother.

They are the only part about the PS3 controller I don't like, I wish they had kept the old R2+L2 buttons, or better yet, stole the triggers from the Gamecube Controller, those were the best. I got a pair of trigger attatchments with Soul Calibur 4 though, that makes them alot better.

Depends on the genre, but overall the 360 triggers are better.

edit: if someone wants 360 triggers shapes on the ps3 controller, they can easily buy an addon that costs like 4 dollars.

I don't perhaps play my PS3 controller enough, but in Motorstorm it's a hassle. After a long period of time playing, my fingers may slip off, or they just do from time to time, bcause the design is obviously questionable to say kindly.

I honestly cant stand the PS3 controller, or PS2 or PSone. They are terribly uncomfortable. Almost as bad as Gamecube's imo.

I can't believe anybody actually likes those triggers. They're downright awful. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to make a trigger/button hybrid?

Like I said, it's an awful design choice. Good thing the rest of the controller is pretty good.

If they'd change that somehow and make concave analog sticks, I think the PS controller would be alot better than it currently is.

Little improvements can add up to alot.

I agree, asymmetrical analogue sticks with a concave top, and actual triggers or atleast a lip on the back of the trigger buttons would make the PS3 pad alot better.

I'm pretty sure there's someone out there who prefers them to the Xbox 360's triggers.

I am not one of them.

Both controllers function well. I think the 360 triggers are a little better though. They seem to have a better degree of control for me. Especially for driving/racing games. You can control braking and acceleration better with the triggers.

Actually, it was a joke based on the fact that what you said doesn't make sense.

When you're playing games, you don't get a "point across." You get a point across in conversation.

That's why I asked if you play some kind of conversation simulator.

lespaul00

I think the triggers make the 360 controller immediately preferable for shooting/racing games. In the same vein, the PS3's D-Pad makes it the obvious choice for fighting games.

With the other genres, it's really a wash IMO or the differences are too negligible to care about.

I might actually look into that.
