That actually is sadly quite true :p :(

I even bought the wireless racing stick for the 360 and I hate racing simulation games. I've used it all of about 20 minutes....

I guarantee I buy MGS4 & GT5 despite protestations that I wont, and knowing full well that I probably wont enjoy either.. sad I know :D

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. The PS3 controller is something that every person in the world knows how to use. It fits just right and every gamer was practically born with this exact controller in their hand. Why change perfection?

It most certainly does not fit right. It is way to light, the trigger buttons are too close together, the controller is not thick enough at all making it hard to get your entire hand around it and meaning your fingers are completely cramped.

Err, I don't like it basically incase anyone missed that :).
 
I used to swear by the playstation controller until I used the 360 one. I like how the joystick is on the top left and not mid left like the PS controller.

That silver is definitely sexy though. Not gonna lie.

I have been using a PS controller for over a decade now, with my first PS controller being the dual shock (the first one), it is a very good controller, in my opinion. Maybe I like it so much because i have used it for so long, but i definitely agree that it could use some sort of face lift. It is relatively comfortable, with my massive hands, although can sometimes lead to finger cramping after long gaming sessions, but that is true for many controllers (the xbox controllers, for me, are the least comfortable in that regard). The controller is by no means perfect, but it has proven itself for over a decade to be pretty decent... if consumers really hated it, than sony would have changed it with the release of the PS2, or PS3; they did not, so one must assume that the market has spoken on that matter. One major criticism i have with the controller, though, is the shoulder buttons. If the R2/L2 buttons where further down on the control, possibly on the underside (making simultaneous use of L1/L2 or R1/R2 slightly easier and more comfortable) i think it would be much better. Also, i regards to the xbox controllers, I personally had the feel of the action buttons and shoulder buttons, they feel too hard and spongy (respectively), and just don't like how they feel...

Well, that's just my two cents... i am personally pretty indifferent to the release of the DS3...
 
I dont suggest the ceramic white ones, I got two of those and the one i use most often is already stained yellow from use, Ive tried cleaning it and wiping it but it still looks worn out, I hope my new silver doesnt have the same problem
 
Personally, I don't really like the Wiimote - its fine without the nunchuck, but its just weird using an analogue stick in one hand and the rest in the other.

The 360's control IMO is by far the best for FPS games, but I prefer the Sixaxis for the rest. The triggers just aren't trigger-y enough for shooters.
