Probably overshot here. I don't dislike DS it's just not as comfortable or solid as 360 pad. To quantify further 360 - 90%, with the DS around 75%. The triggers in particular really do let it down. Very much like the look of the new DS though, seems fuller formed, comfier and more rounded. The touch pad also appeals. Could be good as a trackpad for internet browsing amongst other uses.
360 controller for me, i loved the ps2 controller but sony made a massive mistake on their ps3 controller, removing rumble etc. They resolved it quickly but im surprised people dont mention that as often as they do when slagging off microsoft.

Probably because it's not been an issue for nearly Six Years now.
We all know it was down to the lawsuit meaning they couldn't include the tech, and yeah this was when Sony were in that PR Disaster phase and came up with some daft excuse "it doesn't work well with Sixaxis!", but once all of that was sorted, the pad was sold again, and included as standard in new bundles at the time and has been since.
The dualshock is the main reason I have not played on my PS3 so much. I've spent a lot of money trying to use an Xbox pad with it, best I have found is the Cronus but even that has noticeble input lag.
It is fine for games such as Gran Turismo but horrible for FPS games. The build quality is also turd compared to the 360 pad.
As good as the 360 pad is though i've had a couple die on me, its certainly not perfect. Current one is the longest lasting (2 years) but i've had to repair it a few times.

Agreed. They messed up Grid 2 badly. The PC port is the worst.
I'm alarmed to hear that the PS4 controller is going to be bigger.

Oh well, no money lost at least. No wonder they were giving them away for free!
Its subjective though. I think dualshock controllers are perfect.
Dont worry, it still feels like a PS controller.
I've customized my DS3 controller with the trigger and thumb grips. Much better. Although I do find the analogue sticks to be a tad to tall.
I can't use a Dualshock 3 without those clip on triggers, my fingers are constantly slipping otherwise.

I use a 360 controller for the PC, and have had no issues with it being too big, even though it looks much bigger.
