I was just doing a bit of friendly trolling.
I've allways figured xbox 360 ought to be better online since it is a premium feature so to say.
I think the ps3 pad is so so, as you say, the analogs feel imprecise, lower shoulder buttons mushy and as a bonus i'll add that me and my friends call the dpad "the grater" (cheese grater) though in our native language, since it is the number one thumb killer. Otherwise, i think it is a good standard controller.
I do love my blu-ray though. I have a friend who has a dedicated blu-ray player that couldn't play his game of thrones set, he lent it to me, i popped it in and voila, ps3 gets it done.
I'll be trying Aoi and Goh first hand as they are characters i liked in regular vf5 though i've been thinking of trying Jacky and/or Brad aswell. It all depends on how the characters feel now.
