Controller Wars: 360 vs. PS3 - Page 3

el_maggot · June 1st, 2008, 11:51 AM

I'd go for the 360 controllers because the buttons are just more spread out. The ps3 controller has a somewhat 'cheap' feel to it and I'v noticed about 3 of my ps3 owning friends have somehow managed to jam/mush up a button on a ps3 but none of my friends with a 360 have faced a similar problem..the 360 controller just feels better.

The 360 controller does it for me. It is more comfortable, especially when playing for a long time. I never notice my hands hurting with it, whereas with the ps3 controller it does. It just feels more natural. And I dont' have gorilla hands by any means, but the ps3 controller feels too small and cramped to me. And something i've noticed with xbox controllers is that they are tougher in general (both generations) than playstaion controllers.

I can go from pretty much any controller to another one, and imediatley become comfortable with the controller. Both the controllers are pretty good and once you get used to playing with both (after about 100 hours or playing), they seem perfectly normal for most people I know.
I did like the PS3's controllers much more before, but after playing on a 360 for a while, I got used to that controller to.

I hate the 360 controller. Its too freakin big and the buttons are really badly located for me compared to the PS3 controller.

Then again, I find the NDS really annoying to use..

The 360 controller is really starting to grow on me. I love how well it fits in my hands.

However, I still think the left stick should be switched with the plus pad as that's naturally where your thumb is when you grip the controller. I also prefer the accuracy of the triggers on the 360, but I just wish they were wider so they didn't cut into your fingers as much.
