I've always liked the shape of the Playstation controllers. Although the 360 controller is a huge improvement over the original Xbox, I'm still more comfortable with the Playstation controller in my hands.

I can see how some would prefer the 360 controller, but the layout of the standard PS3 controller is more logical to me.

i support the ps3 in every way possible. i have a 360 and will only buy exclusive games for it and will only get them used so i do not help sales numbers for the system and get pissed when people who have no idea what they are talking about and bash it. i would like this. if i could buy it i would. i like the ps3 controller but like the feel much more of the 360 controller.

I like the 360 controller better than the PS3's. The dual analog sticks make more sense the way they are diagonal, also the triggers on the 360 controllers don't seem so "cheap".

Let's not turn this into an fan war, it a controller. That being said I also find the 360 pad comfortable to hold but the ABXY buttons are total crap. They lack feedback and are kind of hard on my thumb after a while (they should make them flat on the surfacce w/ see through buttons like the PSP). The 360 pad is a hige imporvement over the original, but I always have and always will prefer the Playstation design. It's easy, has a nice tactile feel to it and the layout and spacing of the buttons have always been easier to use for me. That being said the d-pad stinks because of it's broken up nature but it's still way better for fighters then the 360 d-pad which is just broken.

This guy get an A for effort but for me a D for the end result.

I find the 360 controller comfortable enough, but have always preferred Sony's controllers.

Heck, I even liked that original Xbox huge controller. No problems at all with it. No problems with the new one either, but if I had to choose, I go with Sony's controller every time. Just fits in my hands better.

I still think that the PlayStation controllers are perfect. I never did like the 360 controllers.
So this is for playing on a PS3?

Also, they thought that there are wired SIXAXIS controllers. dumb@$$es.

I love how Sony never changed their controller design, only improved it. The original XBox controller was horrid.

I never held it, it looked weird to me. I like the original design cause it is familiar and works well.

I HATE the Xbox and XBox 360 controllers.... it's one of the main reasons I never bought an Xbox (that and they die like guppies). I love the PS controllers and hope they don't change much.

big fan of the dual shock design controllers. they feel solid in my hand(s) and im able to access almost all the buttons at will. the 360 controller is too spread out and buttons and triggers in all the wrong places for me. yeah, i can use it but when needing button combos performed i always end up pulling off of a needed button. if for no other reason, that is why i don't own a 360

Big fan of the PS controller here. Look forward to trying the new wireless/rumble when released.

I like the PS3 layout more than the 360 for everything except FPS games, where I think the dual analog layout of the 360 is superior. I also like the heftier weight of the 360 controller.

That said, I totally despise the directional pad on the 360. It makes fighting games all but impossible to play with that layout.

I actually like the X box/ X Box 360 controller better but knowing myself I would have two useless controllers at the end of it. I am getting used to the PS3 controller
