Has anyone had personal experience with both and are willing to share the pros and cons on which would be better to be used on a PC?
 
I was in the market just like you debating on which controller to get. I ended up buying the xbox 360 controller because it works will with all new windows games and I could use it on the Xbox 360 too. (which I don't have but plan on getting one). I have the black version and it's comfortable. I play the racing game flatout 2 with it. Then I decided to buy the wireless wheel and now the game is even cooler!
 
hehe thanks for your reply. I have decided against both for now. I borrowed one of each off a friend who has both systems. I LOVE the feel of the PS controller however it is a real pain in the ass to get working, especially in Vista X64 which doesn't allow it to work at all since the drivers are 32 bit. The Xbox controller does work however I do not like the feel of it at all. The digital directional pad on the PS controller is far 'tighter' to me which is great for emulators etc. I will wait it out and hopefully see if a Vista X64 compatible driver comes out for the Sixaxis though I highly doubt it. The fact that the Dual Shock 3 with rumble is due out next month makes me want to wait even more instead of rushing out to buy the current controller that contains no rumble.
