PS controller every day.

I am getting used to the 360 controller, but the PS seems more natural to hold.

I don't like how light and flimsy the PS3 controller feels after using an xbox one. There's also advantages of being able to stick some AA's in too.

i traded my xbox in for a ps3, i wanted blu ray and im only really a casual gamer so the ps3 wins for me.
if online gaming is your life get a 360, thats its main selling point really.

I have had the 60GB since pretty much release date! never had a problem with it! other than it freezing once!

Its also been left on for over a 48 hour period many times!

Saying that I've never had any problems with any of my Sony Consoles!

Owning both, I can't see how one is better online than the other, price aside obviously.

A very good point that has been made a few times is to get what your mates have. If I had gotten a 360 then I would have nobody to play online with or nick games from whereas I can do this with the PS3.

I have friends with both, plus numerous contacts off here. Hardly play online as I'm too busy with the main storylines.

There are a couple of different types out there. Mine is heavier than all my mates, Something to do with dualshock or something.

I never doubted that you could find them cheaper. But i was proving some places still sell them at £60.

Dualshock is win. It does make the controller heavier but I think it's too light without. My mate has two controllers that are just SixAxis and it doesn't feel right

I'm not fussy with either controller, but I do prefer the heavier DS.
