I prefer the dualshock 3 because it is lighter(but not too light like the sixaxis) and it is smaller. One thing I like about the 360 controller though are those handsome triggers.

maybe its there way of getting around saying doomed?

just a thought

dito

Sony and microsoft should combine and make a perfect controller...rofl like that'll happen

The d-pad on the 360 controller is possibly the worst thing ever, but I still prefer it to the ps3 controller overall. The ps3 controller feels a little small and fragile to me, I like the heft of the 360 controller a lot more.

It does fit snugly in hand I'll agree.

I like the 360 controller better. I never really ever got used to the Playstation design.

If I had to pick one, it would be the DS3 - I'm just more used to it.

I'd like to combine them though:

From the 360 controller:
- analog sticks (I don't care about the shape, but I like the increased resistance compared to the DS3 - gives you more precision)
- triggers

From the DS3:
- D-pad
- face buttons
- bumpers (I don't like the "clicky" ones from the 360 controller - can't tell you why though, they just don't feel right to me)

I agree completely.

I prefer the 360 overall, but I do like the PS3 controller

Size: 360 > PS3
Button placement: Don't really mind either layout
Triggers: 360 >>>>>> Ps3
Analogue Stick Design: 360 > Ps3
Analogue Stick Deadzone: Not sure...depends on the game

They're both great controllers, a Ps3 with real triggers that was slightly bigger would be amazing though
