I can vouch for the dualshock controllers .. they dont up or break easily unless you dont take care of it or throw it down once in awhile. But i still think the newer 360 controllers have better durability than ds3. Wait i lied , my red ds3 is loosing its touch everything on the dpad is loose and the thumbstick is also, but thats just me not taking care of it and dropping it a few times , my other ds3 controllers that mestup was my launch ones and that had charging issues .
