I love the 360 controller. It feels great and is very comfortable. Also great triggers and stick placements.

Failed attempt.

Anyway, I'm not a big fan of the 360 controller. I like the Dualshock design better, though I could see it being inconvenient for shooters.

My biggest gripe with it (aside from the d-pad) is that it doesn't have discrete handles like the DS; the grips are more built into the sides. I'd also rather have flat face buttons.

Triggers are also kind of weird for anything that's not a shooter or a racer. I like the kind of shoulder buttons that were on the Gamecube pad, personally.

No argument here, it's an awesome controller. Only the D-pad and shoulder buttons need improvement.

It's great, but not quite perfect. I really wish Sony would have the balls to admit that the Dual Shock isn't the perfect design and actually try and evolve it a bit, though.

Well it's better than the alternatives such as the ps1, scratch that, I mean the ps3 controller especially for shooters. I can't play shooters with the ps3 controller.

I can't stand 360's controller.

Too bulky/analogs suck/placed strangely/used to PS3's controller/battery pack is annoying.

metallica_911
why are you afraid? watch videos of people trying to break them, they took 3 hits of a sledgehammer, and still worked after dunking in water for 30 seconds.... the things are tough. is it cause they're light? cause just use a dualshock, they heavier. or use the shadow, exact copies of the 360 controller but with a non-sticking surface so it doesn't get sweaty.

Eww. I don't care what anyone says, I just hate the 360 controller.

Things I hate about the 360 controller:

1. Crappy, cheap feeling, indented analog sticks. The right analog stick is too low especially if you have big hands. Also useless indentation bumps on the sticks

2. LB/RB button placement and overall feel of these buttons... feels awkward to have to use these buttons on a regular basis

3. Overly spherical ABXY buttons(Everyone's loved flat buttons for years... so why choose spherical buttons?)

4. Oversized dashboard button(Come on... is this really necessary?)

5. Worst D Pad ever(amirite?)

6. AA batteries and/or charge pack cost extra

7. Wireless not standard(I thought this was the age of wireless? Stop lagging behind M$)

8. Weird shape... doesn't contour to fit your hand like the Dual Shock or Gamecube controllers have

9. Crappy Start/"Back" buttons... feel way too small and plasticy.

10. Color scheme, looks, and overall appeal are just pukage

i find the 360 controller to be the best, easily. the only problem is the dpad, but i never use it unless its required in the game, so its no big deal. the ps3 controller, imo, is terrible for fps games due to the wonky stick placement, and the semi triggers for r2 and l2 arent that great feeling, among other things.

im gonna say your statement = phail. for a number of reasons..... i actually started dissecting your whole theory but i just dont feel like it...but baisicly it sounds like you dont like the controller for the sole reason that its not a PS3 controller. most of your points make no sense whatsoever, WHATSOEVER. wireless controllers which are standard on all xbox's except the arcade, and yes the dpad and battery pack do suck, but the dpad isnt so much of a problem though

EDIT: you shoulda just left your statement at "I just hate the 360 controller" then youd sound less like a nitpicky fanboy

The D-pad is too soft. If it had that Click thing like the bumpers have, it could be better. I love the dualshock d pad, but sadly i don't like it as a whole. Analogs are too loose for me.

Its perfect. Perfect weight in my hands, fits perfectly, i like the indented analog stick, my fingers never slip as they did on the DS2. D-pad sucks, but i never use it. Face buttons are nice and well placed. I love the triggers. The LB/RB buttons arent used all that much, but they arent great either.

It is tied with the GC controller for my favorite gamepad of all time. The only problem is the D-pad but it is used in so few games that I don't really worry about it (I use a 360 controller with some games on my PC)

Dual-shock edges out the 360 controller, imo. The d-pad on the 360 blew it.

I actually can't say there is a single aspect of the 360 controller i prefer over the dual-shock. Certainly not the need for extra batteries/battery packs I had to keep around for my 360 controllers.

I really like the 360 controller. It's very comfortable in my hands. my only gripes are the D-pad is absolute garbage, and I'm not a fan of the face buttons.

Dualshock is good too. I don't see how people can hate it so much.

the Xbox 360 controller is perfect, until you download a XBOX live arcade game and have to play with D-pad it really sucks, however the rest of the controller is unmatched imho
