Ok now first off, no system is better then other for controls. I can play any xbox game that is on pc just as easliy so I don't understand that comment. Also I personally hate the playstation controls I have never ever gotten used to them. PS1 & PS2 where the main systems I played before I owned any of those systems at the time they were out becuase my neighbour would play it everyday. I got used to the nintendo controls, xbox, yet for some reason never ever got used to ps2/1 controllers. So by saying there better just doesn't make sense to me, I am sure you feel the same way about xbox controllers.

Yea I find Xbox controllers too fiddly...too many buttons and not enough fingers/hands/arms...PS3 controllers were hand-crafted by God himself for the ultimate in gaming! I find the PS3 controllers sorta moulded to my hand shape...which is nice lol

Just a question. Isn't the official PS3 the same shape as the official PS2 Dual Shock controller and that was the same shape as the previous ones, PS1 etc?
I used to be a big fan of PS2-type controller because I never tried the X-Box controller. (usual fan-boy idea) When the XBox-360 controller came out I tried it and quite liked it, for about 30 mins.
This is the reason I like PS controllers better:
If I use either XBOX-S or PS2 for an 8 hour stretch the PS2 controller gives me less thumb strain because the left stick is in a more natural place for left/right movement. The X-box left stick can only be moved using one muscle group (lower thumb) which quickly gets tired, while the left stick on the PS2 pad can be moved left/right using a variety of muscles in my thumb, upper/lower thumb muscles or even my wrist can be used to guide my thumb left and right.
I can play, Longer, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger la la
When your as old and RSI ridden as myself, you learn to appreciate what works and what doesn't.

See, even JJ agrees with me
When I say they were made by God, I mean that the controller is in a comfortable, natural position. Having said that, consoles ruin games, and should never be used...blah...

Actually the playstation controllers hurt my wrist after 2 hours of use lol. So I guess we have simular reasons for likes / dislikes.

Actually the xbox controller is very simular. I think xbox and nintendo had the same idea when designing, although nintendo's controller was a bit more coulourfull and there bottom right stick was so tiny. I still love the gamecube controller for one reason and I wish I could use it with lfs. grat R/L buttons and great analog stick. Better then the xbox and playstation for those features in my opinion.

Don't forget I use chase view to. I'm console mode re-incarnate. Love my Chase view and PS3 pad on LFS.
I like to watch my car get tail-happy and play like NFS style with proper LFS physics. Yes consoles have ruined me, but I'm loving it, so Meh

Splitted the discussion so the original can still be about CoD4.
