Ps3 would be a great console with the 360 controller

I was wondering, is it possible to connect a 360 controller to a ps3 with some sort of adaptor? Because my hands hurt after playing an hour or so with the dualshock. I'd like to try Killzone without cramps.

I've always found the DS controllers to be poorly designed outside of the D-pad. I really don't like the (literally) tacked on analogue sticks.

ps3 controller all the way. 360 is rock shaped... but its debatableStealthKnife

I can't stand them.... i am used to using my pointer finger for shoulder buttons, on the 360 controller you have to use 2 finger for each side shoulder buttons, on the ps3 I can move on finger to either as they are on a level plane and not off aligned like the 360 shoulder buttons.Midnightshade29

Really?

Your using the controller wrong if your putting 2 fingers on each side to use LT, LB and RT, RB. I never even knew that some people tried to use the controller that way.

As a gamer for over 20 years who has played almost every system ever made, I can say with 100% truth and honesty that the 360 controller is the best game controler made so far. thats all fanboyism aside, whether you love or hate whatever system, you should be able to see this fact clearly. The only gripe is that the d-pad is garbage

the reason that i dont like Xbox is its lame control layout, itshard to play street fighter with these controls

You said you are 5' 7". I'm 6' 3" and the controller is fine. My hands never get cramps or any other fake conditions I see people make up.AgentA-Mi6

You guys accused us before of doing it wrong. I didn't think it was possible. But you actually are. 2 fingers on the back of the 360-controller is uncomfortable, and I, along wiith pretty much the rest of the 360-userbase, move the finger from button to button.

The DualShock Controller is simply perfect for me, The xbox controller is a shooter centered monstrosity, how im I supposed to play fighters and racers with that?AgentA-Mi6

Actually, i think the 360-controller is a lot better for racers. The triggers are curved inwads, so you're finger doesn't slip at the last lap, and the controller is much more comfortable, meaning the endurance races are less of a pain.

Uh no thats your opinion. Not a fact. Get the terms right.

i think the xbox controller is more comfortable and its better for fps games,or 3rd person shooters ,but for fighting games and games that need a d-pad dualshock is the best.

it would be the perfect controller if they putted the ps3 dpad in the xbox 360 controller :)

I like the PS3 one better :|

The 360 controller is just a Rip off the playstation controller with skittles buttons. The only difference is that the 360 controller needs batteries like a fisher price toy.

MegajerkNYC

Ever heard of the Dreamcast? Its controller is what the Xbox 360 controller is most similar to. Also, my HDTV remote needs batteries too. I guess it's a Fisher Price as well.

Funny, i didn't buy a PS3 because of that terrible controller. It's the very same controller since PSX, ergonomically terrible and can please onlyjapanese and kids with their tiny hands.

About that **** who wrote about 360's controller eating batteries... Ever heard of Play & Charge kit? It costs ~10 Euros here. At least i don't need to buy a new controller when the battery dies out.

why there is no point besides it means you wont be able to use motion controls and you have to actually change the battery

I totally disagree, try to play Street fighter games on Xbox360 controller.... see what you can get from that

There. That will do huh?

I like the way they're thinking, but unless they have made it more ergonomic to have in the hands compared to the DS, the problem still stands.

/EDIT I see they have changed the triggers, and made the handles longer. The only thing i can think of is the sticks, they seem a bit slippery compared to the 360-controller.

But even then, this should have been the official controller.

[QUOTE="Ducati20"][QUOTE="urdead18"] This. I love the Dualshock for any game I play. I guess it's subjective.Grady420

I have pretty big hands and it seems fine to me. I guess I'm just been used to it since its pretty much the only controller I've held for the past 10 years

Who has to do that? I hope that is directed towards the Dualshock, because that isn't even true

[QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"]I personally liked the original XBOX controller.Bazooka_4ME

Are you talkin' about the one that looked like a Game Gear? I think that was the best Xbox controller.

No thanks.
I hate the 360 controller.

I like my snug PS3 one tyvm.

It did indeed sound flamebaiting, but it was a legitimate question. I remember playing GT4 and having to stop each 10 minutes because my fingers hurt. I do feel like the controller is the one thing that holds the Ps3 back. The games are there, but playing them with that little, slippery, non-ergonomic thing is just a waste. :(

It sounded like a ligitimate question to me..

So to answer your question, as far as I know there's no way of connecting a 360 controller to a PS3. Perhaps there will be coming third party controllers that more suit you.

The adapter is here for anyone that wants it.

Edit: Heard it felt like crap and certain features do not work, not worth it.

[QUOTE="SpideR_CentS"]The problem is the same, bad analog placement.Bazooka_4ME

well For me the controls r pretty equal 360 control feel nicer with shooters and racing game for me (this ones the r some of my favorite genres) and for the ps3 i really feel a diference to play fighter games with the the q-pad and i also like action adventure game better on the ps3 control idk why maybe i like better the right buttons that on the 360 control -.-, ppl ill always say 360 control is better because its better on shooters the genre the since very popural this generation!

I love how Xbox fanboy act as if the controller is god. The only thing I love about the 360 controller is the analog sticks which are amazing and the triggers. Besides that the Sony controller is by far more advanced. Has a way better D-pad and the part everyone forgets PRESSURE sensitive buttons. The 360 doesn't have that and I think that's a major flaw. The DS3's analog sticks are decent enough to get the job done, but if there was ever a hybrid controller combining both it would be amazing.

The PS controler is easily the worst controller I've ever played with. If your hands are anything but the tiniest you get hand cramps from the weird placing of the two analog sticks and the small size of the controller.

I love the comfortable feel of the 360 controller in my hands, but the DS3 is perfect in my opinion. I'm glad Sony has kept the design virtually the same. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It's a great console without the 360 controller.

It's great without it

THe people who I hear complain 97% of the time are fanboys who want to bash sony. Also they havent neglected the controller people just like it that way. I dont get how hard is that to understand. I like the DS3 more then the 360 controller.

wow just wow.

I can't use the ps3 controller. It might be because I have very long fingers, but using the controller for any length of time hurts. I like the 360 controller, d-pad aside (not even the fanboys can defend that), it just fits my hands better. Pressure sensitive buttons would be an improvement, I agree with whoever said that, but I can get by without it.
