DS3 or 360 controller?

Now that ds3 is out in the states( it was available where i live longggg ago :P) People who have used both post your thoughts about which one they prefer and why

I think its a tie

360 controller advantages

1.Better fit

2.Better weight distribution

3.Best for shooters

4.Better analog stick placement and triggers

DS3 advantages

1.Better rumble

2.Better for action/sports games

3.Better non rounded/easier to press buttons

4.The best D-pad

5.Sixaxis(Only some games use it well but its good when that happens)

Note:-I would prefer if fanboys keep away and only those people post who have used both for a fair amount of time

AND THIS IS A COMPARISON OF DS3 AND 360 CONTROLLER NOT SIXAXIS AND 360 CONTROLLER EVEN I THINK SIXAXIS SUCKS

3.Best for shooters
I always wondered why the analog was where it was. Thanks for the info :lol:

I'd go with DS3, I've been using Playstation controllers since PS1, plus the PS2 wasn't a shooter console so it was good but PS3, well it's still good.

Plus I like the design better but it's so light it's like holding air and when you get pissed, you'd think your just gonna throw air but then your controller starts flying :lol:

360.

Fits your hands

made for FPS

Feels like quality

DS3 has better rumble, but I like the analog stick layout of the 360 controller moreR4gn4r0k

Guys please also tell overall which one you like more dont just say that this is good for this and this is good for this please mention overall too

As I said in a very similar thread yesterday. I like both controllers, but if I have to complain, I'd say they should make the 360 controller lighter and the sixaxis heavier. Somewhere in between would be nice. I'd probably say I prefer sixaxis when it comes down to it as I've played with dualshock controllers much longer than X-Box onesMr-nameless

hmmmmmmmmm....

what you hmmmmm-ing at, I better get uotta here befor I'm called a fanboy!!! :P

Note to everyone I aint! I actually prefer K+M to controllers anyway.

This post can't be serious. The 360 controller is superior in everyway. You have to be a total idiot to think otherwise.112505

Apart from the d-pad.

I do think that sony could have revamped the controller a bit to bring it inline with current gaming standards.

I have the same issues with my PSP - the stick is in the wrong place.

Apart from the d-pad.

And the positioning of the analog sticks.

And the shape of the controller.

To be quite frank i prefer the 360, same deal as phones, i have to have something heavy in my hand for it to feel right.

The 360 control has a poor d pad imo but the analogue layout seems pretty smooth, the triggers and bumpers mix well aswell.

Although, I am a big fan of the triggers for FPS.

Heh, sorry. I do try to stay neutral-ish. Unless I have really strong feelings on the subject matter. Controllers... no

i really dont like the triggers on the DS3... i always feel like my fingers are going to slip off. i also have that same feeling with the analog sticks, they are rounded and just.. blagh. if only the best features of the DS3 (dpad) and 360 controller could be mashed together.. we'd have like.. a super controller :DSH_guY

I meant the triggers for the 360. I haven't tried DS3. The triggers are the only part of the 360 controller that I like.

They feel exactly the same to me - I don't think either is better then the other.

lol trust me once you try the DS3 triggers you will gain a whole new appreciation for the form factor and awesomeness of the 360 controller. it is (atleast imo) one of the best controllers iv ever used.. apart from that really bad dpad..

I hate the buttons on the 360 controller.

Errrrrrrr excuse me mr fanboy but many people like the smaller size of the ds3 (including me) plus sixaxis is implemented very well in some games and if u might not have noticed ds3 is winning.Btw i respect everyones opinion but pls dnt act like a fanboy

DS3 wins :D

out of the two... they both have their ups and downs. but i prefer the ds3 because i feel like i have more control in a game with it than the 360 controller. Though 360's may give a better experience with shooters, i just feel like i have no control of the gun when i use them, and the dpad and shoulder buttons(L1/R1) i personally think are inferior to the ds3's. I also prefer the buttons on the ds3 controller to the 360. Analog sticks have never seemed to be a problem for either controller for me, but for some reason i always check for sensitivity on 360 games for some reason...

Though from that post it may seem like i absolutely hate the 360 controller, the issues i have are extremely minimal and neither seem to help or hurt the experience of any game i have played.

so, you wouldn't mind playing with a controller that doesn't fit in your hands properly?

any i like ds3 better, because i have used ds controllers more and i am more used to them, the triggers do suck though.
