Xbox 360 vs. PS3 controller.

Ps3 by far.

Hate how clunky the 360 controller is. Plus it's D-PAD is garbage.

Xbox 360 controller is so much better. You can only call it clunky if you have little hands.

XBOX 360

so weight > everything else

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING

I MEAN MY GOD

i love the lightness of the ps3 controller = weight > everything? howd you come to that conclusion? :?

jeez this thread is old but for me its sixaxis

the 360 controller

PS3 has that fancy six axis thing going for it... But other than that, the 360 feels and controls better - period. Only people who will argue are either A) utter and complete Sony fanboys, B) fighting game junkies (who should be using custom sticks anyways).AfterShafter

oh who teh hell even uses the D-pad anymore, fighting games thats it - but i still use the sticks like the arcade

yes it's crap but i can't remember the last time i used it accept to quickswap weapons in fallout

and it gets UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT pretty good just not so much the in betweens

you bumbd something from 07??!?!?!?!!?!?!!

now its the ps3 Dual shock 3 owns all

both are good

360. It just fits perfectly in my hand. ^^

Except when playing Guitar Hero, but that's what the peripheral is for.

fps = mouse keyboard

tps and action adventure games = 360 controller

fighting games and sport games = ps3 controller

that what i prefer

360, the only thing I prefer on the PS3 controller is the d pad and tbh I never use that anyways as Ive never been huge into fighting games.

The 360 is intentionally designed better. Yet I am comfortable enough with the PS3 controller and I find it more convenient:

I don't need to rely on batteries for my PS3 controller and I have no problem with the analog sticks or overall design. The 360 analog sticks are better simply for being pressed in and the triggers are better too. I notice none of this when actually playing a game though.

The resistance on DS2 is far superior to DS3 and that's my only complaint with the PS3 controller. As for the triggers, stupid design but I have no issues.

By the way, anyone have a problem with my text? Too bright?

360 Controller - Built for Comfort

PS3 Controller - Built for Performance

But none are BuiltFord Tough

360

DualShock is my choice.

Old poll?

DS3, more sensitive and better button/stick layout.

i am so use to using the ds so i picked it. the 360 controler is good but i like symetrical analogue stick placement the sholder buttons and triggers feel better, sixaxis works well is some games (rachet and clank, kz2)i miss shooting freethrows with my sixaxis in nba2k. the d-pand can't be beat and the rechargable controller is the icing on the caked for me. however i do like the 360 convex sticks better. but overall the ds3 is better.

PS3 for me...Mainly because I've been using variations of it since I was 9.

The 360 has the better controller, without a doubt. It's only real flaw is the D-pad. Otherwise, it's extremely confortable, has the best button layout, nice analog sticks, and the best triggers.

The Dual Shock, however, is an extremely dated design that Sony refuses to change, for whatever reason. The analog sticks are terrible, and the fact that they are positioned right next to each other makes playing very awkward. Also, the triggers are slippery and way too small. I love the PS3, but Sony's adimance to stick with the same tired design really shot them in the foot, I think. I would probably never buy a multiplat for PS3 because it will always control better on the 360 (for me, at least). This is a problem that Sony absolutely needs to address with the PS4.

Own both consoles, prefer the playstation mostly, but the 360 has the better gamepad. However, even though the ps3 pad doesn't always perform as well as I'd like, it is adequate for all games. On the other hand, I won't even bother to play Super Street Fighter 4 on the 360 controller--the dpad is that lousy.
