Which one would you choose? To sit on a sofa (or something) play with a gamepad and relax, or play with a mouse/keyboard with more accuracy? For me mouse/keyboard, especially for first person shooters. For most other games probably gamepad.
a Mouse/keyboard takes away the immersiveness of shooting a gun. therefore fails at life.............miserably.

What? I don't understand how using a gamepad is any more immersive... Especially since you use your thumb to aim instead of your hand... Trigger and rumble. No doubt PC is more accurate though.

But if I had to choose between a gamepad & kb/mouse. I would go for the kb/mouse because it's much more easier in terms of pin-point accuracy and not to challenging, so makes fps games a walk in the park for my grandmother.
I prefer using a gamepad, as long as that gamepad is a DualShock. I seem to play much better when using them. Which is why I'm sad Sony never released a PC driver for the DualShock 3.

Wrong. KB/M is far more immersive. Reclining on a couch takes away from immersion.
are you telling me you run around holding a kb/mouse while playing games?? You telling me you only play FPS on the Wii? Or do you use your Wiimote with your PC?

Mouse + Keyboard is better for everything except fighting games and hack'n slash. Anyone who says different is lying to himself. So you can't afford a good PC, that's cool but don't embarrass yourself.
Gamepad, if I just want to curl up and relax. If I want to curl up and relax, though, I probably won't be playing a FPS. Mouse and keyboard for accuracy. Quake III on the Dreamcast was hilarious because you could pound gamepad players into dust with it.

Oh yeah, and hack and slash/fighting games. It's too bad those games suck though :/
Gamepad. I'm not a competitive gamer, so I'll take the comfort of a couch any day. Pure preference, though.

I have a gaming PC, and I'm a consolite. Where do you people get the idea that anyone whose preferences differ from yours must be lacking either the technical knowledge or financial means to game on a PC?

both.
What's the size of your monitor? And television? What kind of sound system do you have? ViewSonic 24" Wide LCD Full HD monitor. my sound system is crap.

Describes me aswell. I like the occasional game of competitive CS:S of TF2, but I mainly enjoy kicking back in the fuzzy moon chair and relaxing to the voices of Nolan North and Emily Rose. I play way too much Uncharted.

For an FPS to enjoyable with a gamepad it needs to be designed with the gamepad in mind (e.i large hitboxes, large cone of fire, auto aim, sticky aim etc). For example, I played Crysis, AvP Classic and ArmA 2 with my 360 controller (all fully supported), but I found the experience to be frustrating at best. The gameplay needed the precision of the mouse. I connected my 360 controller up to MW2 and Halo 2 and I found the experience to be fine. All of those game played superbly with my M/KB. This is simply due to the mouse being a much more versatile and precise tool when it comes to shooters.
The simplicity of the mouse just doesn't do it for me. It lacks thatimmersive feeling so I much prefer the gamepad with force feedback and the triggers.
Dual analog isn't so bad. I used to hate it, but after being forced to use it in MW2 it's growing on me. KBM is 100x more intuitive and immersive, though.

What's immersive above point and click? no feedback or nothing. When in a tight spot the controller begins to vibrate but what does the mouse do? Nothing.
