Personally, when I hold my PS3 controller, I only use 1 finger (per side) for both shoulder buttons. I rest the finger in-between the two when I'm not using them. I have the inner bend of my thumb on the X, and the pad of my thumb on the Square. Unless I'm playing NHL 11, then I have my thumbs on the joysticks. But still.

Agreed. Putting fingers on all four buttons feels unstable and uncomfortable.

Yeah, that's not how it's meant to be held. R1 and L1 are pretty much like the black and white buttons on the original xbox. Low usage extra buttons. R2 L2 and the face buttons get most of the action with Ps3.
