@ spectrumglr - the PS3 has 4 analogue buttons, up, down, left and right that the 360 does not, the 360 has an analogue d pad, which the PS3 does not.

The 360 analogue sticks are buttons too? *edits*

 

the d-pad is NOT analogue...and the directional buttons of the PS3 aren't analogue either.

agreed, the d-pad is typically 4 digital buttons. Hence why when you play games you can't move what any angle, only one of 8 directions. In fact, I've never seen an analog d-pad, as it would really be a joystick with a + drawn on top.

However, each of the face buttons on the right hand side of the PS2/3 controller are actually analog buttons, not digital buttons. Most people don't know this, as no games use it.
