More Proof That DualShock 3 > Xbox 360 Controller.

People are willing to spend hundreds of dollars for a modded PS3 360 controller.

People even made code for PS3 to use 360 remotes on it.

Goes to show you which is the better remote. 360 > PS3

Anyone that wants to mod that crappy PS3 controller into a 360 controller check this out.

Please explain how the PS3 controller is crappy outside of shooters.

Also... that mod is amazing. I will probably do it for shooters like KZ2 and Resistance 2.

360 is the best controller I have used.

That would be great for shooters, but it still has the crap d-pad :(.

The placement/shape of all 2 shoulder buttons are crap. Both triggers are sloped back. The placement of the 2 analog stick are to far down the controller. Plus on top of all that the controller is horribly small... So people like me with big hands don't like using it.

Not even close!!

Playstation controler is 8 years old. It was great on PSX and PS2. 360 controller is better in every single way

Can we at least admit KB/M destroys both controllers???POJO_MOFO

in shooters? yes. but not in alot of other deparments, suck as fighting games, driving games etc. 

I really love the 360 controller. The best controller ever and I hope Ms never change it. Whenever I hold a PS2/PS3 controller it actually hurts my hands now.

Aside from fighting games, the 360's controller is fine.Floppy_Jim

Maybe the controller does not like you for being such a fanboy.

Here's proof KB/M is far superior:

How long does it take you to type a message on these boards??

The DS3 cramps my hands after about an hour......I wish they would design a controller that is not made for 10 year old boys..

I'm sure those cramps have nothing to do with the controller........

here on GS and other sites, some Xbox 360 games have been marked down soely because of its crap controller.

take a look at Bionic Commando Rearmed review or Mirrors Edge review, or Street Figher IV previews, you will see that Xbox 360 version has been marked down or criticized just because of its crappy controller. there are lots and I mean lots of reviews where Xbox 360 controller was metioned as a hinderance to the game's controls.

There has not been any PS3 game where its controller was criticized.

DualShock is the best controller ever made, it is suitable for ALL games. where as, the same cant be said for Xbox 360.

xxThyLordxx

uh you are mixed up, its the PS3 controller that is pure crap, it doesnt even have proper triggers, and they are positioned all funky, PS3 controller = total crap.

DS3 is one of the worst controllers i've used. at least its more comfortable than the old NES pad, but seriously.. terrible controller. it's too light, it's cheaply made, the charge cord is like 2 feet long. do not want. 

would have preferred the boomerang.

at least we don't have to pay for it

Anyone who plays SFIV with a DPAD has no place playing SF. It would be like playing Crysis with your feet. That game was designed, without question, for a stick.

And, really, the only advantage DualShock has over the 360 controller is the DPad. In every other department the 360 controller is superior.

i'd rather pay for PSN and for the charge cord if they're going to be poor to begin with. i honestly believe you get what you pay for... and with free stuff you can't expect any quality.

If I get arthritis when I get older, I am blaming it solely on this controller.

You know there's a reason why they haven't changed the DualShock in 10 years, right? It's because people love it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.Rafinator

I don't think perfect controllers keep ruddy asymmetrical analog placements.

Of course the Dualshock is far superior over the 360 controller.

And this is not opinion. How many companies make controllers for PC that look just like the PS ones? Almost every controller company. Because it feels great in your hands, buttons feel right,...and the controller looks FAR better than the 360 controller.

RuprechtMonkey

you're actually wrong.

the dpad is the closest you have to the arcade fighter sticks. the sticks on the 360 and PS3 provide too much freedom of movement which can hamper nailing moves unless you're incredibly precise.

that's why anyone that is serious about fighters on console use a Hori gamepad, which is basically a dpad with an arcade stick attached and larger buttons :).

normally i agree with you, but you're dead wrong on this one. fighters are designed for 8-direction sticks, and the dpad is the closest you get on consoles (barring a Hori gamepad).

The only thing proven is the lackluster performance of the 360 d-pad, everything else is preference.

I think (my opinion) the perfect controller is DS3 d-pad, DS3 analog stick position with 360 dips your thumbs, and 360 triggers.

They should just send you a box of parts like legos and you make your own:idea:

was so ******** off when i got my first PS3. had to buy a/v cables, had to by a usb cord, had to buy new DS3 when they added rumble, had to buy a bigger HDD...

newer custom color 360 pads (blue, pink, red, etc) apparently have better dpads. haven't tried them yet though. but i use a hori stick for anything that requires dpad precision.

Yes, it is an opinion. 

There is no undeniable truth to back up your claims. The mere fact that there are so many people in this thread that disagree with you proves that it is not a fact.

Lol.

When someone says they play fighters with a "stick" they're not talking about the tiny analog nubs connected to a game pad (I don't know why you're calling a Hori stick a "Gamepad," but a gamepad is something like the dualshock or 360 controller, not a stick,) they're talking about an actual arcade stick.

I have a custom built stick setup.

SF. Serious business.

It isn't self ownage because It gives you a charge cable that is 2.5 feet long and Xbox 360 makes you buy rechargeable batteries. Out of the box, the PS3 already won this contest. Now if I really want to, I can buy a longer cable for $5 whereas Xbox360 needs a play and charge kit.

They are just controllers to me. 

Neither is better or worse.

sorry mate, it is SO. they might as well give you a charge cable that is 2.5 inches long.

and guess what happens to a PS3 controller when the internal battery dies? yeah - thought so.  it was so considerate of sony to sell us disposable controllers with sealed batteries. great for the environment too eh :)

well i know people that have. and if you google and do some research you'll see that over time you'll spend more money on new DS3 than you will on rechargeable batteries for the 360 over time based on lifespan estimations for both products. several sites have done breakdowns of the cost.
