If I had a PS3 or a Wii, I know I could just use those controllers, but I don't have either. Should I spring for a PS3 controller, or are there cheaper bluetooth gamepads available elsewhere?
360 controllers are actually better supported and are more plug-and-play friendly.
They also come with the bonus of being usable on most modern PC games, so are a decent investment regardless. I try to never cheap out on controllers nowadays, I've bought too many 3rd party knock-offs.
I should have specified that I meant for use with my phone (a Galaxy Nexus, if that makes a difference). I've got a 360 controller laying around, but I didn't think that the wireless signal it used was compatible with the phone's.
I actually hadn't considered just getting some adapters and using my 360 controller. I may have to daisy chain 3 or 4 different things to get it to work, but a few cheap cables/adapters from somewhere like Monoprice is still a lot cheaper than 1 PS3 controller.
