lol @ d-pad. stfu you lil bitch. aint no games worth having that require a d-pad. if you got a fighting game then get a fight stick pad. i like the feel of the xbox 360 controller. i feel like a man holding that shit. nice and big and heavy. the left joystick is in the natural position. the triggers are awesome. the ps3 feels hella flimsy and i drop it every once in a while. the triggers on it suck thats why a lot of games use r1 and l1. to shoot instead of the "triggers".
xbox got a huge library of games already and there is many communities for all these online games. there is games thats like 8 months old and there is still a following for some of those games. on the ps3 those games would have no one playing online.
you get a lot of demos and DLC first on the 360. there is also better xbox live arcade games then games made for the psn.
