The 360's D-pad is absolute trash. There's nothing good about it.
The PS3's D-pad is ok, it's no Nintendo D-pad, but it suffices. It's a little mushy and sometimes inaccurate due to the sunken nature of the design. On fighting games you will find fast movements across the PS3 pad will cause incorrect input. (ex. sliding your thumb for a charge back + foward for a fire ball will cause either a down or up input along the way, which screws everything up).
When SF4 came out I bought it on PS3. The controller is much better than 360's albiet with it's flaws. But I intend to buy a Hori Stick since its the ultimate in fighting accuracy.
