The reason I never bought an xbox was becuase the controller.
I forgot about that. Playstation has the best controller design on consoles hands down. I'm glad they realized making the controllers look like a bananna boomerang was a big mistake.

Definetly. I can't quite grasp the controls of an Xbox controller either, my friends will say, "press X" for whatever Xbox letter. The Xbox controller is just backwards if you ask me.

All the buttons are exactly the same, just different letters/symbols.

Nobody looks at their controlled, they look at a monitor.

I've heard some Xboxers say they can't use the PS3 controller and vise versa, only a spastic couldn't use one and not the other.

They're virtually the same.

No they're not.

Having one analog stick and one D pad at the bottom and one analog stick at the top instead of two analog sticks at the bottom and one D pad at the top is a big enough difference for me to prefer the 360 controller.

But, I don't like either button layout as much as the Gamecube controller, or the N64 or Dreamcast controllers for that matter.

Probably my favorite thing about the GC controller is how much it differentiates all the buttons giving them different sizes and shapes. I never ever confuse one button with another. A problem I frequently have with the other controllers.

No, I think I'm going to stand by my observation and say I can't really use a 360 controller well. And I'm not a spastic .

Absolutely, I find the controllers pretty different.

the 360 has an analogue stick on the top left, unless I've been using the wrong controllers thats pretty different.

And for the wire discussion, PS3 half tackled that problem. By making wireless controllers, but the only problem is, if your controller runs out of battery, the usb goes into the top.

And on the Circle for "B" discussion, well it wouldn't make much sense if a friend said, right press B now, cos I have no idea where the letters are on a 360 controller, so they will say "circle" as I'm used to PS3 controllers, it really makes sense to say that.

Nothing compares to the 3rd party N64 controllers. Some of them were the worst shapes and most terrible ideas for controllers ever.

I'm making the jump to PS3 now that my second Xbox 360 is dead.
