I would have to strongly disagree with you iddqd that the 360 controller is better and "designed for human hands", but i guess to each his own right?

I dont know what kind of deformed hands you have, but the PS3 controller feels way more confortable (to me) and the D-pad is in a perfect position, a "human" thumb can move between the analog stick and D-pad seemlessly, what kind of thumb do you have?

Why fix something that isnt broken? You may think that the PS3 control is modelled off a 10 year old design or whatever, but so is the original xbox and the 360 controller to some degree.

He has said alot of things, most things pointless and untrue . Either way if you ignore him there will be no grounds on which to argue Also whilst on the subject, the reason why the controller has been kept the same way is because people like the way it is built, when you think about it the ps3 controller design allows you to navigate between button areas with absolutley no problem whereas the 360's dpad cannot be reached easily without sacrificing one of the main joysticks.

why change the controller when it has worked for so many years. has any other control been out as long as the ps controller?

plus wouldnt it be cheaper for sony to use the same one coz of production and design cost? i think the ps3 already cost enough. but this is just my opinion

It needs to be changed because it was designed for PS1 games... games have evolved a lot since then, and I doubt it's because of production costs either, can't you remember the banana?

"his going to get one"??? What does that mean

i doubt it cost much to make a couple of those banana ones. its the some stuff inside, just the casing is different.

look at that guy called ben hecks who put the ps3 controller inside the xbox controller.

sony likes to keep u guess. that or they have no clue them self or they smoke something nice in the office lol

Ok im not going to start a big fanboy war here, thats not my intention, im not a fanboy, i own both ps3 and 360 n i love both machines, but i will admit that i am more dissapointed in the 360, i bought the 360 on launch, n the console and the console has had a year start over Ps3, how ever during this long period of time ive only been interested in 3 games for 360, i own doa4, dead rising n gears of war, i played other exclusives such as perfect dark zero, kameo, lost planet, crackdown, bulletwitch, rumble roses xx and condemned, to me, all of them were average n only warrant mention simply coz there console exclusive games. i admit theres r some gr8t games comin for 360, too human, mass effect, halo, halo and more halo. Ps3 however, its only a couple of weeks into launch n i already own 2 games. resistance n VF5, heavenly sword n lair soon to follow, n this is only durin a launch period,but other people will have their opinions of course. ill conclude by sayin, AGAIN, im am not a fanboy, n like both consoles n believe both machines have there highs n lows, but for me at current time its the ps3 that im liking and enjoying more.

i see what your on about dude and no one is doubting, but the ps3 is a better machine all round, partially due to ps3 having blue-ray.. meaning ps3 has better technology..
Thats only one reason onto why its better, ps3 has way better games.

and what does xbox have, halo.. pfft

Actually in the 360 you can buy a external HD-DVD drive,
JediKnight 360 dosn't only have Halo, What about Gears of War. I like both consoles equally they both have very good exclusive games.
