PS3 trigger buttons.

They suck... 360 controller > PS3 by a mile.

Way better then the stupid pressure sensitive face buttons on PS2. There is a reason that every other console uses pressure sensitive triggers instead.

AndyAlfredo

What do you mean? How are pressure sensitive buttons stupid? The first console I was aware of that used a pressure sensitive triggers anyway was the original Xbox, which isn't every other console.

[QUOTE="CuteCakes"] I have a 360 pad right besides me and when I hold it my fingers don't touch the battery pack...lazerface216

the battery pack restricts absolutely NOTHING. have you used a 360 controller before?

[QUOTE="lazerface216"]

[QUOTE="dark-warmachine"]It's about freedom and giving us the ability to stretch out are fingers. Having a big battery back stick out like that completely restrict your fingers' movement. Just thinking about it annoys me.

They are fine at first but after playing games that require a lot of use of the triggers (GTA4, Bayonetta, etc), I've noticed that they become flimsy over time and can become bothersome

if they annoy you like they do me you can just buy the aftermarket triggers like i did.

it does not fix the other probs i have with the controller but at least it fixes that.

360 crowd: Ps3 controller sucks

ps3 crowd: 360 controllers are awful

wii crowd: I can swing my remote

Now on to the next topic :)

Nay, there's a reason why most PS3 shooters use R1 to shoot.tagyhag

[QUOTE="wolverine4262"]

They werent thought out at all... An example of what happens when sony tries something original when it comes to controller design...

RogueShodown

like that boomerang controller.

They're fine. They aren't terrible, only people who say that are the ones trying to find a niche in the console war. Just like People who complain about the 360 Dpad.

its terrible for fps. then when you switch to L1,R1 and it feels sooo old. way too last gen compared to the 360. how ever i enjoy in for racing games. it feels right for that.

For me its like

PS3 is best, except its controller sucks because they haven't changed it in 15 years, and its not ergonomic in any way. 360 controller is my favorite ever, II like the PS3 better, but the controller is just terrible.

its terrible for fps.GrabTheYayo

Yeah, it's a good thing PS3 isn't big on shooters.

Yep.. not to mention they feel light and cheap.

I bought those Dual Trigger add on things, now they're oh-kay.

It's all about what you're used to, that's why people are arguing.

No offense to you or anything, but when you start off with, "I'm afraid he's right...," and continue that with a sentence beginning with, "There's two opinions...," your assessment that he's right is pretty much invalid, even without taking into consideration that you can't prove that there's only two types of opinions on the matter.

For the record, I own both (PS3 is out of commission at the moment though) and I have no preferences between the two. Both feel and work great imo.

Edit: Also, I'm not trying to single you out. I feel the same for the people who think "x controller is obviously greater than y controller" and vice versa.

wow dude you couldint be more wrong about that statment. I own both I can switch back and forth,but at the end of the day if I had to choose DS3 all the way.

Actually there are a few things I find worse on the DS3 than its 360 counterpart; the weight is too light IMO, Dpad is the least ergonomic thing in history (I'm getting calluses on my thumb thinking about it - its not 1994 anymore Sony) and the triggers. 360 on the other hand has the awful Dpad, but replace it with the Sega Saturns and you'd have the perfect control pad.CuteCakes

Except the shoulder buttons and face buttons on the 360 controller are lame. I feel like I have to punch the face buttons to get them to work at times.

D-Pad is a joke as well, and I hate the battery back on the back. Way too much needed to keep the damn thing running. Built in battery is easy to charge, and my Sixaxis from my 60gig PS3 of almost 5+ years has yet to die on me from constant use. However, I drop my 360 controller once, and the battery pack shatters, and now has to be mended with duct tape to keep it working. Built in > Battery Pack, imo.

The only thing I dislike about the PS3 controller are how frail the analog can feel, and the triggers can be annoying ONLY when playing some shooters. As far as Fighting Game, Hack n' Slash, Racing, and Platformers go, I'd use my DS3 > 360 controller anyday.

the whole controller is what has stopped me from buying the ps3

larryb007

If that is your only reason...simply ridiculous.

You know they sell little clip on things you can buy for like 4.99 that make the L2R2 curved like the 360 controller.....

Thus, making your excuse obsolite.

I own both and besides the r2 button getting stuck in one position for some unexplainable reason,DS3 ftw =P The 360 triggers are better but i hate the size,the D-pad the analog positions *insert cow rant about fingers disappearing into the battery pack here* but at the end of the day i can use either no big deal

Yay! I love the entire design of the DS3. People seem to complain about it all the time, but I haven't come across any of the issues.

i dont have any problems at all with them.

I bought the extended triggers for all my DS3's for about £1.99 each...It improves the controller unbelievably.

The shoulder area, along with the dpad, are the areas where the sony controller has the xbox one beat.

They're horrible. If Sony were to remodel the triggers to be more like the 360's and put the left analog stick where the d-pad is, they would have a much better controller.

Why quote me if you've got no argument to make? Posting "nope" doesn't do anything except increase your post count.

I don't like how when I go buy a new 360 controller, I have to wonder if the triggers are going to squeek or click. Never had that problem with the ps controller.

Some times they are annoying, sometimes they are sp smooth, overall, they are good, just like the old PS2 buttons.
