My bro just bought a PS3 so I had a go with the controller supplied. With my hands I lasted about 3 minutes before having to give up.

Anyone got any bright ideas on which controllers are most comfortable? Ive got Red Dead Redemption waiting to be played

Yep thats one thing the 360 got right was the hand placement on the Pad, it was almost perfect, Ive moved on to the PS3 now and find it kind of awkward for some games.

Might give the extended triggers a go, have you used them are they actually good?

(BTW I didnt move to the PS3 as I thought it was better, just because I had more friends on PS3, and wanted some multiplayer action, so appreciate them both, and dont want to turn this in to another PS vs XBox fanboy thread )

You could have a look at the controllers on this site... There are a few alternatives available..
