I never liked the PS3 controllers either. They don;t fit your hand well, and make it awkward to play FPS's.
Although, you can always get an adapter controller that looks, and functions like an Xbox 360 controller, but will link to the PS3.
The internet is very bad on the PS3 compared to the Xbox 360 in my opinion.
I'd rather pay $60 a year to have a fair match 99/100 times than have free internet and get a fair match 50/100 times.
I've owned both consoles. I had the PS3 first, and loved it. I then bought an Xbox 360, and sold the PS3 after a week of having the Xbox. It was so much better imo.
