So not biased then? Having owned the original Xbox, the Xbox 360, the PS2 and considering the PS3, I've got to say that the Xbox pads have always been better (yes even the original large Xbox pad).


:rolleyes:

Biased or not my hands have never hurt while playing a game with a PS controller and I have very big hands...X-Box pads are way to big and chunky for my liking...infact I don't know anyone whole prefers the X-Box pads over the PS pads and that includes the 360 owners that I know (I know more people that have a 360 then a PS3 btw)
 
I'm one of the few that actually really liked the original XBox controllers; I also have big hands and they just felt comfortable. My next system after that was the XBox 360 and I loved those controllers too. I was very much an XBox fan for a long time, until my friend got a PS3 and I saw how quiet they were and how much stuff got included with the system (wifi, blu-ray, harddrive). I eventually sold my 360 and got a PS3 and it did take me a bit to get used to the controller, but now I don't think about. I don't ever get cramps or pains with the PS3 controller and I've played for hours at a time with both COD4 and GTA4. I guess I'm easy to please :).
 
I have to admit, the PS3 controller was uncomfortable at first but now I'm used to it. The 360 controller is a bit more comfortable, though. Now, I still prefer the Gamecube controller over all other controllers. It's by far the most comfortable one...it just melts in your hand and feels perfect. The negative of the Gamecube controller is some of the layout. The Wii remote with Nunchuck combination is best for shooters, though, above any other controller.

What, really? From what I've heard apart from a few folk on this forum, is that the 360 controller is the comfiest. When it came to the crunch I even got a 360 controller for my PC too, and that was before I even liked the 360 console itself. All it needs is a Nintendo-quality dpad.

It's the convex triggers and analogue sticks I'm not happy with on the sixaxis and DS3, they're supposed to go in so you rest your fingers! Not trying to push you off them! Still it's light which is a big plus over the Xbox controller.
 
Large Grips for PS3 Controller

I know the the last post was over a three years ago but our company has a new product that we would like to share. Our Play-Maker grips slip over the existing PS3 handles and make them 30% larger. People with large hands say they are a must have. Even some people who like the standard PS3 controller like it better with the grips. The grips come in multiple colors and are MADE IN THE USA! Search Play Maker Grips for more information. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
