What do you think? I've played both many times in many games, Racing, FPS, and GTA IV... And I'd say PS3, one of the reasons I bought one. I like both the analog sticks near the bottom for FPS, I also perfer the shapes rather than letters on the action buttons, and I like the individual arrow buttons on the directional pad. One thing I will give Xbox is in style, its shape and sleekness make it look much better than PS3's, but it's function bothers me. I vote PS3 FTW.

Neither! The Wii has the best controls by a country mile.

I prefer the PS3 pad, after a decade of using the (almost) same controller, I've just got too used to it.

PS3, the 360's d pad is shoddy and really needs fixing, a lot of the controllers i've had from them disconnect all the time, means i have to play with a play and charge kit, an extra £17 =(

I didn't add Wii because it wasn't quite in the tune with PS3 or 360... They have so little in common, and honestly I don't care about the Wii... I wanted to just pick the two main consoles with the usual stuff.

I prefer the DualShock 3 for most genre's, the 360 wins in racer's and FPS's tho, but it's not by a lot. I also think Sixaxis doesn't get enough credit, I love when they implement it and keep it optional, GTA4, Motorstorm, LBP etc, it adds to immersion without being to "heavy".

Both are pretty much identical... the 360's D-Pad definately needs fixing... but other than that I have no preference

Well I pretty much grew up playing the PlayStation so I have adapted to the controllers so I find 360 controllers weird...

I prefer the PS3 pad. I've gotten used to having the same controller design for 3 straight generations and I like how light the Sixaxis feels. The 360 controller does have better triggers though.

The XBox 360 has the better feel in your hands. It also has better trigger buttons. The PS3 has better buttons and D-Pad. The analog sticks are about even. The PS3 has better positioning for the start/back buttons. The XBox 360 start/back buttons are in a terrible position. I'm constantly hitting them when playing fighting games. Overall, I like the 360 controller better, because it feels more comfortable in my hands and my hands don't get cramps in long playing sessions like it would with the PS3 controller. They are both about equal, it's all a matter of taste and how if feels in your hands. I vote for XBox 360 controller.

Anyone who has used both as I have will obviously vote PS3 due to the fact the 360s D-pad is rounded and sucks compared to the 4 seperate buttons for the PS3 D-pad.
