You must have really small hands. Or you havent played anything other then a Sony console since 1995. I love the 360 controler. I have a PS3 and a 360, I always buy cross Platform games on 360 because I like the controller better. I find the PS controller way to small and cramped.migo said:

No, follow what other people were saying.Pyode said:
Yeah. It takes some work getting used to for it to work at all, let alone in gaming, I tried the Alphagrip for typing while lounging and it worked in some situations, but I wouldn't want fast reactions tied to it, especially with the middle and ring fingers being attached to the same muscle for most people.shadow skill said:
I'm holding it the same way with both hands, right wrist is fine, left wrist isn't. It's the controller, not how I'm holding it. Incidentally, when I use the Duke, I do hold it differently for right and left hand to avoid pain, but it's a problem with the controller if it forces you to do that (unless it's the N64 trident in which case you expect that, but it's still damn weird).Davey Woo said:
There isn't any basis in what you're saying, it might make sense on paper but it doesn't bear out.GLo Jones said:
PS3 controllers are more expensive, and then there's the rather high cost of shipping one of those converters in. Not really worth it only having a 360.TheRightToArmBears said:
You can just plug the PS3 controller in to charge when you're not playing. With the 360 controller it's much less convenient, and the batteries will always run out of charge in the middle of playing, so you need extra ones on hand to swap out. Fortunately the game pauses automatically, but it's still really annoying and not a non-issue as you say.Digitaldreamer7 said:
It's not a gimmick. Left wrist hurts, right wrist doesn't. Angle of thumbs changes so my left hand is the same as the right one which doesn't have a hurting wrist, problem solved. Pretty simple logic really.Good morning blues said:
I feel exactly the same about your opinion as you do mine.migo said:
1) if you look at the responses, you really are in the minority, the whole reason why people love the 360 is it actually fits comfortably in HUMAN hands (the ps3 has the most awkward curves, it does not look like a human should be holding it) and the buttons/triggers are ergonomically better, hell the ps3 has "trigger" attachments because they realize they screwed up and had to go the way of the 360 on that part, and the 360 accomodates for all hand sizes as my 5 year old brother handles it just fine and me the same, so therefore hand size is not an issue like the ps3 controller is.migo said:
No, the thing is, the 360 controller is comfortable if you hold it in your hands and aren't playing. People go off that first impression, and naturally have to justify their purchase of the 360 somehow, given that it was so prone to failure. With regards to the DualShock, you don't grip it, you let it rest on your pinky and ring fingers, it balances perfectly there, and you have your middle and index fingers over the shoulder buttons - you pretty much have only 4 finger joints in contact with the controller beyond contact with the actual controls. It's not even possible to hold the 360 controller that way, if it isn't the battery pack getting in the way it's the ill thought curves.gmaverick019 said:
3rd party controllers can be hit and miss, but I've had a very solid one for PS2 made by Intec that I haven't had any problems with, beyond the turbo function sometimes being a bit of a challenge to turn off. I've seen some pretty crappy 3rd party controllers too, but they're by no means all like that.
You mean the Mad Catz one? Either way, the analog stick is pretty miserable for fighters, nothing compares to an actual arcade stick, and barring that for handheld the digital stick on the Neo Geo CD and Neo Geo Pocket. And for the PS3 you also have the option of using the PlaySega pad or the Sega Saturn USB Pad for fighting games.
You think the 360 controller is perfect? What about the pile of shit we call a d-pad?Thunderhorse31 said:

Erm, I love my PS3. The D-pad on the Sixaxis/DualShock is better, sure, but the analog sticks are inferior. That's all I'm saying.RobCoxxy said:From a PS3 Troll's perspective?
