The Xbox360 controller, on the other hand, is very comfortable with every button easily accessible. I use it as a my PC gaming pad as well since I've never seen better on the market.
Yah, this is definitely based on personal preference, as I have the exact opposite opinion. I think the Playstation controller has been THE best controller ever for any game console. Its the perfect size, and the perfect combination of comfort and functionality. When the PS2 and PS3 were announced, I was pretty happy they kept the design of the original PS controller intact.

By far the worst controller I've ever used (besides the old 8 bit and prior systems) was the Dreamcast controller. The thing was bulky and awkward to hold. IMO, the Xbox controller and to a lesser extent the Xbox 360 controller are just a modified DC controller.
