In my experience, the PS3 aka dualshock controllers have gone into the dust.
I played a ps3 a while ago with a dualshock controller. The thing is
flimzier. It seems with every generation of consoles the controllers and
things get flimzier. The xbox controller might be big, but its sturdy and
doesn't feel like it could break. Same with the wii mote. The wii mote, in
fact, is quite interesting since you can do funky things with it.

If wii controllers are an option, than I much prefer using those. I prefer
ps3 and wii controllers over xbox any day. I really dislike the fact that
xbox controllers are so huge and uncomfortable to use. the D-pad is also
horrible. I tried playing mk with an xbox controller and I had major
problems trying to keep the character from jumping and doing other stupid
things.

Hi Orin,
Well, supporting PS3 game controllers under Windows is rather
problematic. As usual Sony does not officially support using a
PS3controller with PC games so there are no official drivers etc out
there for them, and DirectX doesn't understand the PS3 input values.
There are, however, hacks and work arounds out there on the web for
getting a PS3 controller working under Windows. I've even heard someone
has written Windows XP/Vista compatible drivers for the PS3 controllers
so if you are interested in using a PS3 game controller with Blood Money
or any other PC game then I'd google for drivers.
That said one thing I can say about Microsoft is that now that they have
updated DirectX and XNA to use newer input libraries such as XInput it is
much easier for a Windows game developer to support XBox 360 controllers.
the process is fairly well documented, there are official drivers for
XBox controllers out there, and a developer doesn't have to jump through
hoops to support them. To a game developer, such as myself, there is a
big difference in supporting a controller like the XBox ones that are
fairly straight forward and easy to support than a PS3 controller which
is by nature not officially PC compatible. Althougfh, you can do it if
you have the right hacks or third-party drivers installed etc.
