He's got R2 and R3 (the right analog stick) confused.

To be perfectly clear, I wasn't talking about button names, nor even the label on the controllers themselves. I'm talking *insert button* = *insert action* as it is read on the screen during gameplay. I have never misread the PS3 controls, but I can never tell RT apart from RB. Lack of confusion always beats confusion, thus does PS3 win. Bitches.

Think this comes down a lot to the games you play, the bumper and trigger buttons on the Xbox seem to feel better for shooters, where as the PS3 L/R2 buttons feel far more like car peddles so feels better for racers or vehicle sections (in my head at least.)

Still think that Sony needs a pad with an stick where the d-pad is. They are still relying on stick positioning of the original PS which had them retrofitted them in rather than designed from the ground up to incorporate them.

Isn't the R2 trigger analog?

R1/L1 (top shoulder) is digital.
R2/L2 (bottom shoulder) is analog.
R3/L3 (clicking the sticks) is digital.

I too have to actually look at the 360 controller to work out which button is which, whereas the PS buttons are pretty much burned into the brain.

Then wtf is it you don't understand with what I said before.. >_> I didn't confuse anything. Well of course you know them, you play much more PS than Xbox, so that's not weird.

Yeah, it sucks because it feels like they put some paper or shit between the sensor and the trigger. Look at the 360 to see how it's done. That feels way more like the trigger of a gun.


Confusing comment is confusing.

Paper between sensor and trigger? Wat?

have you ever fired a real gun to know what it feels like?

I wasn't even thinking about digital/analog. My first thought was analog stick. I get it now, though like Blokey I've got the PS buttons memorized frontwards and backwards.

I HEREBY CLAIM THAT ALL BUTTONS AND STICKS ON BOTH XBOX 360 AND DS3 ARE IN FACT DIGITAL.

Aside from that statement being wrong (the 4 face buttons and R2/L2 are analog, having 256 degrees of pressure).... what the FUCK is a DS3?

Don't be saying "Dual Shock 3", cos the Xbox 360 controller isn't called the "Xbox 360" is it? That's what the main console is called!

Sir, go take a lie down and come back later. :lol:

Just because it's not either ON or OFF doesn't mean it's not digital. A computer can not handle analog input, so all inputs to a console, computer, etc, is digital.

360 controller doesn't have a name D: That's why I said what I did. Lets dub it X3C as in Xbox 360 Controller? =)
