that's gonna come back to bite u on the butt ;)
 
I don't have a preference.

If you can't use the PS3 pad you're mentally challenged. It has buttons, you press them :confused:
 
Thought we had established previously that preference was down to how you actually grip the controller. If you grip it losely then the PS pad is quite comfy whereas if you are a tight fisted gripper then the 360 is more moulded to your grip and therefore more comfortable :p

Now let that be the end of it you heathens - the PS controller shalt not be bettered my man nor the gods of man in my humble opinion.

You smell, the end! :p


PS - I would just like to say after using my DS3 a lot lately thanks to MGS4 it does become a lot easier to use, I still prefer the 360 pad but don't hate the PS3 pad quite as much as I used to :p

the PS3 pad is terrible, I can use it but with it being smaller it always hurts my hands after a hour or so playing. I dont know why Sony have never tried to design another one, over a decade of the same controller, I suppose you could say its not broken so dont fix it.

Because sony are a Japanese company and develop their controllers in the typically blind Japanese fashion of neglecting everyone outside of Japan with normal sized hands. The PS3 pad is horrible for any men with normal/large hands.
 
The only problem I had with the Six-Axis/DS3 was the triggers and since I've been using the Gioteck Real Triggers the pad has been completely transformed for me, I'm not really a great fan of ergonomic design anyway, it's the reason why I never liked the Logitech MX/G5 mice that are designed to mould to your hand, I always preferred a finger mouse that you control with the tips of your fingers more delicately and with a bit more finesse, it's the same with the Six-Axis/DS3, I hold the pad gently on the lower end of my fingers, I don't like to grip it, I often find that's where people go wrong, if you try to grip the Six-Axis/DS3 controller like a 360 pad you will get hand cramp, or at the very least it will feel quite uncomfortable.
 
I much prefer the PS controller, though the DS3 is much better than the standard one as it has more weight. As above I also don't like the ergonomic-ness of the 360 pad. Yes, it is more comfy to hold firmly, yes it puts less strain on your hands after heavy use. But it just doesn't feel right somehow. Perhaps having used the same controller since the PS1 has done something to my mind!
 
The Xbox controller in my oppinion is better but then again I guess im just used to it more than the xbox controller over te play station as I could never get used to it :s

Really? I must be some sort of freak then because I'm 6' 2" and all in proportion (I mean my hands) and I find it very comfortable!!! :p

I still beleive it's down to the way individuals naturally hold the controller. Some hold with fingertips like me (same way I hold my mouse which is why I never got on with the Logitech gaming mice and prefer the Razer ones), and some tend to grip the controller which would make the weight and shape of the 360 controller more comfortable.

The controller is really the major thing stopping me getting a PS3 at the moment. 2 years of using frankly the best controller ever designed to date, I know I definitely wouldnt get on with the six axis' light weight. Im waiting for the DS3 to come standard as thats the only thing I think I could stand.

My biggest gripe is not the unresponsiveness of the analogue sticks, but that the left stick is definately in the wrong place. The DS3 doesn't fix this. However, once you start playing you'll accept the pad and after a few months your hands will become twisted into claws to accomodate it even more :)
 
I'm another one who is put off a PS3 by the controllers. They make my hands hurt after about 10 minutes, I just can't get on with them. The 360 feels just perfect IMO.
