PS3 Controller better then 360's

    I did an article on this recently.

    I own all the consoles and while the PS3 controller is grand, the 360 one is better. It's downfall is that the face buttons are not sensitive, so games that want to have a depressive-A button to slowly let you accelerate rather then using triggers can't. Instead they're just on/off, no middle bit. The PS3 does have this...

    The 360 is just more comfortable and seems to have been made to improve on the Playstation idea. Much more suitable. I want Sony to rip it off :D

    I prefer the 360 pad for MW2 and most FPS games. Third person, or fighting games, I'd go with PS3.

    If I however want to simulate ironing, cleaning windows and folding clothes, the Wii remotes are grand.

    I personally prefer the PS3 controller. Reason?

    1. I had been using this style of controller for years. It fits into my hands like a glove.

    2. I prefer the weight of the controller as it is light-weight but not flimsy.

    3. The directional pad, though not fantastic, is still a lot better than the 360 version for SFIV.

    4. Charging the controller is very easy. The lack of a battery pack also means that my fingers are not obstructed at the back.

    Anyway, its not like the PS3 controller is without issue, but above is why I prefer it.

    quite reasonable, kudos!!!

    Is there much difference between dualshock3 and the six axis one? The six axis feels hopelessly light, only started on my ps3 today but I much, much prefer the 360 controller.

    Six Axis has no built-in rumble. Dualshock does. and doesn't feel half as light as the six axis.

    I picked up the MW2 combat controller for the PS3 and it feels great. Kind of a cross between the 360's and PS3's. No rumble, and the analogue sticks don't work all that well. Too bad the build quality wasn't up to the standard of first party peripherals.

    What do people think of the Dreamgear Shadow controller? The analog sticks are in the same place as the Xbox controllers and its bigger than the sixasis with more grip
