I don't really mind and think that the analog sticks are looser, but not loose enough that my playing is affected. What do you think?

I've never liked the Dual Shock controllers and I've always loved the Xbox controllers especially the Xbox 360 controller. It fits my hands perfectly and it's more immersive to have a trigger than a button.

i feel the opposite. i love the ps controllers. to me the xbox ones are to big but there better than the wii's fps controls.

"i wii's fps controls."

Don't have a preference. Both are fine for me.

...what in the name of hell is wrong with the Wii's FPS control?

Another "360 or PS3" thread on a specific console forum. No, there won't be any bias answers here!

360 controller.  Right trigger feels like a trigger more than the PS3.

I really didn't like Metroid Prime 3, that's putting it mildly. The controls are too loose, too wacky, and don't feel right. Often you have to tilt slightly up to point straight, or tilt straight to look down and it just feels wrong. The Wii wasn't made for FPS's.

I don't really know what you mean, but alright. I had a lot of fun with those controls. However, just as it took the traditional pad a while before it hit its stride for FPs, it's taking the Wii a while. Q1 2009, and the final verdict will be in."

The 360 definitely has better controls for shooters. I really dislike the Dualshock controller. It needs to be retired. The sticks feel way too large under your thumbs, they touch together sometimes, they're too close. It's uncomfortable. And don't get me started on the retarded pillow-triggers. I know that sounds generic, but it's true. The PS3 controller is just bad for shooters.

I have both xbox 360 and a ps3 and the xbox 360 controller is by far better, its more comfortable and the triggers are better

360 pads are better than the PS3 ones. I think that's why I hated MGS4, the overall controller. I hated shooting, and even moving the camera (the analogs are loose for PS3).

The only problem I have with the PS3's controller for FPS are the loose sticks. You get used to them really quickly though.

  Like the fact that you have to have 2 different peripherals to play a shooter."

I like the 360 controllers better, and the Live service, so definitely on the 360.

I can't stand shooters on the PS3...I think the DS3 is an awful controller for shooters. It's good for other type of games, but not shooters by any means.

Well, I haven't really played any shooters on the PS3 besides Resistance, and that game bored me. Then again I prefer the 360 system as a whole over the PS3 so I guess I would have to like 360 shooters better?

360 is the obvious choice for FPS. The 360 controller comforts those with big hands (like me) and the R2/L2 triggers are a pain in the ass.

DS3 is an all round controller for fighters etc.

Misinformed fanboy."

I guess I am the odd ball out because I like the ps3 controllers more then the 360, everyone when I play halo 3 it just doesn't feel right to me.

360, because of the triggers and the controller
It's like it was made for FPS, yet it's easy to use with other games as well.

It's the best controller this gen, fuck you Wii.

sexbox 3sexy.

Ps3 analog sticks are awful.

pc mouse is better for fps

Easily the 360 just because of the controller layout.  The PS3 controller is fine for just about everything but FPS and racing.  But those games I would much rather get on my 360.  I like the offset thumbsticks on the 360 for FPS, feels more natural.   And for racers, well Sony kinda tried with the L2 and R2, but really they still needed like an actual trigger.

um have you used a ps3 trigger lately? it's like catching a fatal disease. plus there's a pathetic abscence of halo 3 and gears

I think the 360 controller just feels right and it has triggers, like a actual gun.....

I like the 360 because it is heavier and just feels better in my hands...

360 definitely, i hate the PS controller.

This entire thread is bullshit. I have IR, mothafuckas! Have you ever had the pleasure of aiming a gun at a zombie and blowing their brains out seemingly for real!?! If not, you can shut the hell up and buy me. OH WAIT, I'M SOLD OUT!!!!

Over did it.

360 by a mile

"Over did it."

"Over did it."

I don't feel like scrolling through the thread, but it seems the general consensus is that everyone prefers the 360?
