prefer the ds3.

just like pretty much all Apple products,i find the 360 controller vastly overrated.

dont have a 360,but i do use the 360 controller with my laptop-needless to say i went back to keyboard/mouse soon after trying out the 360 controller.(for fps games only,that is )

the controller is awesome with racing games,though-finger doesnt slip off like the ds3!

want more comfortable..but PS sharp shooter with ps move + navigation controllers!

for fps games, i prefer x360 controller over DS3 controller
reason being i prefer using the R2 trigger for shooting, just like shooting a gun trigger, instead of just pressing R1 button

DS3 also smaller, i get sore hand/fingers easier & faster compared to using X360 Controller, cos i feel X360 controller are more ergonomically designed.

but for the directional buttons, DS3 pwned X360 controller, DS3 feels easier and more accurate

and one disadvantage of DS3 i dislike the most is the bloody built-in batteries, with a damn short usb charging cable
If I need to charge the DS3, i'll have to leave my PS3 on, just to charge the controller, gaming while charging is next to impossible if i were to sit closely to my plasma TV due to the short cable.
With X360 controller, I have 2 set of eneloop batteries, one pair standby full charge, another pair in my controller, if one were to run out of juice, i can just replace the batt with minimal impact on my gaming, while i charge the other pair without the need to sit closely to my TV.
Why can't the make PS3 to charge the DS3 while in standby mode?

I dah guna both. DS3 technically has exactly the same amount of buttons compared to the 360 controller (although the D-Pad design is less precise, giving only 4 precise buttons instead of the 8-way used by the 360).

Design-wise, both have their merits, but an increasingly large amount of games coming out for the PS3 are now demanding support for the analog nubs, particularly using the left one for movement. That's my only complaint, it's not very ergonomic.

I just improvise by using a miniUSB handphone charger (or my PSP Go charger, or iPad charger) to charge the controller

Justified because I don't leave my PS3 plugged in and powered on 24/7 anyway.

D3

You can charge the DS3 via hooking the USB port to your PC while you use it.

I think it's up to own preference, which is more comfortable.

But as for build quality, I think the XBOX 360 controller is much sturdier, seriously DS3 feels like cheap plastic.

by the way how to replace the ds3 batteries? i think mine is dead.

ps3 user here . i would say i prefer the x360's controller more . fits right in my huge hands

prefer the xbox trigger.. It feels more firm.. Although it is kinda big..

Google for third party battery replacement howto.

Sony's official stand on this is "buy a new DS3". The instruction manual got show how to remove battery, but after removal of battery instead of giving replacement battery spec instructs you to dump the DS3 at a recycling center.

I expect most local video game shops can source a battery for you if needed tho. Or if you're the compulsive type, you can turn to eBay for replacement batteries. Just be prepared to deal with ketam in worst case scenario (because batteries are considered chemical products) if you do turn to eBay.

lol at first. but have to dump at recycling centre. the freaking ds3 batteries are expansive, RM65, i can get a new one at RM145.

the battery life for newer ds3 is kinda short, 12hrs of usage. older models can last upto 2 days.

just charge using astro byond punya usb port pun bolehlah..i do that all the time now

RM145 is ori controller? Because SonyStyle wants RM189.

tu terpulang kat ko la...

kalau nak aim/shoot target tu depend kepantasan jari jemari ko...
bukan pada controler ps3/xbox controler.. kalau dah noob mcm aku nih.. pakai fragfx untuk PS3 je.. senang nak aim...

sekarang ni aku pakai xbox360.. so far.. controler xbox360 lebih selesa dari ds3.. tq

ds3 batteries dead? no problem. throw away. buy new one. gaming is luxury.

china recycling center must be happy for your type

thats why.

recycle to save earth.
