Goddamn right! You guys are spewing microsoft propaganda and someone needs to step up and speak the truth.

ts727 said: the fucking shapes are practically the same. It's a mix between the dreamcast controller and the Ps2 controller. The original x box controller leaned more toward the dreamcast side, as it was popular at the time. I even read about how that was the plan before x box even launched. You guys are brainwashed by someone that puts out shitty computer software and shouldnt even be in the gaming business.
The shapes are hardly the same. The Xbox controller is contoured to fit the human hand, while the PS controller juts out in such a way that it is impossible to get a natural grip. The PS shoulder buttons are shit as well. And the worst part is the joysticks. Not only do the PS sticks have convex tops that cause your thumbs to slip off, but the top of the stick is like 1/2" high from the face of the controller.
So, in recap:
Xbox Controller: -Fits natural contour of hand -Joysticks are not only usable, but comfortable with concave surface -Shoulder triggers require only index finger
PS Controller: -Couldn't really have a worse shape -Joysticks are convex, slick, in the wrong position, too tall -Shoulder buttons are retarded, especially when you consider that you need to use your index and middle finger on both hands in alot of cases. As if the grip due to controller shape wasn't uncomfortable enough, now you have to put two of your fingers up on the shoulder buttons, LOL. -Overall piece of shit
Consider a game such as Fight Night in which you have to use both joysticks to throw punches. When the match is getting intense and you're about to knock that mothafucka on Xbox, you can rest assured that your thumbs will be in a responsive position on the joysticks. With PS, your thumbs are flying all over the place with every punch you throw because THE JOYSTICKS ARE SHAPED LIKE MUSHROOMS

i love it when people make up facts that are actually just things that they like about terrible products. It's ok...im over it. i understand that it's just your preference to play lame games on an even lamer system. the war continues.

Thats ridiculous man, the PS controller fits your hand perfectly. I think that both controllers are basically the same, the xbox controller is just fatter. And as for the shoulder buttons, you dont need to use your middle finger at all, unless it calls for you pressing down both buttons at the same time, which I cant think of a game off the top of my head where you even have to do that, the index finger can handle both buttons. Plus, it isnt unnatural to put your fingers up on the shoulder buttons, with the shape of the controller being the way it is your fingers are naturally up there anyways, and you just tuck your middle fingers behind the controller. Palms on the side of the handles. I think the design is perfect, simple and most importantly easy. Thats why its never changed.
The joysticks on the PS controller are not too high. And your fingers dont slip off, they are textured, so unless you are playing with greasy or wet fingers, you can be assured your thumbs arent going anywhere.
