For me, it seems to be the one thing holding me back from buying a 360.  I really want Gears and Dead Rising, but the controller seems a bit bulky with unusual-placed analog sticks.  Or have I been playing PS2 too much?

I thought that but the first time i played the 360 it was like the controller was molded around my hands, it was perfect and the analogue sticks are in exactly the right place. Try out a 360 kiosk and hold one cuz they are really nice.

ive used every controller dating back to the nintendo and this is by far the best controller yet, i used to have an ps2 and no xbox, the xbox's analog sticks are placed so much better than ps2's, ps2 is way to awkward for me, 360 is perfect!

Yea, I played Gears at my friends house. I don't remember how I was holding the controller but it did seem kinda off.  I think it's cause I've played Playstation for so long.  Hmm...

Yes you have been palying PS2 too much:P x360 gamepad is great for fps. The d-pad is a bit too hard to press so it not good in fighting games. But for the rest of genre it's awesome.

Word, thanks for the opinions guys, I think I'll give it another shot!  I want a PS3 but that can wait as the 360 is definitely a better buy right now.  Thanks!

Best controller I have ever owned. I always loved my PS2 Logitech Wireless controller, but the analogs placed side-by-side like that are a little awkward for FPS games. The rumble implementation is better than the last-gen systems too, it feels a little more sensitive.

I'd say it's definitely one of the most comfortable standard controllers. Everything feels very natural on it and overall it has a very ergonomic button layout and design. The D-Pad, however, is very unresponsive at times and would definitely not be good for games that require precise input like fighters.

I was exactly the same before i played it but once i got used to the unusual-placed analogue sticks i found it to be very comfortable and the controls have suited every game i have played so far so yes i really like it and it has actually beat the ps2 to become my favourite controller now which i didnt think would happen.

I agree like everyone else is saying, the first time I put a 360 controller in my hands, i was like "Oh My God" becuase you really do feel that they couldn't of made a better paddle for this system, tha'ts how I feel anyway

I had PS2 + PS1 for probably 7 years before switching to Xbox last february, by getting an Xbox 1, and not I've got a 360, and the controller FEELS GOOD. PS2 is awkward for me, and Xbox is PERFECT. I played PS3 at BestBuy and my hands hurt after about 30 seconds.

ok yes i do like it. i just wonder how ppl like u (no offense) can't figure out that if ur asking opinions such as this in 360 forums, ur obvliously only going to get only people that like the 360. if u want answers to ques like this put it in the general discussion.

Id give it to Ps2 because of the dpad. 360 sucks when u want to play fighting game especially if they decide to update their system to let u play marvel vs capcom 2. But the x360 analog and triggers buttons are excellent in FPS. Believe me, play perfect dark zero.

360's controller is just amazing... so light, buttons are on a perfect size, bumpers and triggers do an outstanding job and the analog sticks are convinently placed.

just be more carefull on your next thread cause this one could seem like trolling

I hated the XBOX controller but the 360 one is great.
I played the PS2 for years, and when I played on one recently, the controller felt so bizarre.
Don't let this hold you back from buying an awesome console.

You've been playing too much PS2. I like the controller a lot. It's very ergonomic... the only real gripe I have with it is that sometimes I hit the center button by accident and the D-pad sucks hard.

Yeah, my hand fits perfectly on the controller. I don't have to stretch or cramp my fingers to press each of the buttons. And with the battery pack attached to the controller, the weight feels just right.

Great fit here. The PS2 and PS3 make my hands cramp. On the other hand the 360 controller D-pad is not that great, kinda clunky.

IMO, after having extensive hands on with the 360 controller It's impossible for me to use anyother controller(especially the PS one).It's the perfect size and shape. I love the tight feel on the analog sticks as well as how they are positioned,the top bumper's were a very nice and needed addition as well. MS really out did themselves, not only by completly revamping the old controller,but  by setting the new stantard for how controller's should be made.

An absolutely great controller, aside from the D-pad from hell. It is God's way of punishing me for enjoying videogames.
