wow what a useless invention they should make it work both ways so we can use ps3 controller on xbox

Useless? how?

I would find it very useful if it were to work flawlessly.

I dread the though of playing an FPS with those horribly placed analog sticks and pathetic excuse for triggers the PS3 has(IMO of course) and thanks to this I may not have to.

Bring it on (Y)

The problem is most devs know that the triggers are garbage and typically map primary fire to R1. So unless this device allows re-mapping of button assignments you'd be using RB for primary fire.

Why does it need an adapter to work? The 360 controller uses USB. If anything, I thought a firmware mod would be needed to get one of them to work. On the other hand, you do need the adapter to use SIXAXIS.

Ahh, so this is the workaround to the flaw in my idea (which was basically mass production of PS360 controllers, but obviously better). Just adapt it.

To those saying about R1...for those games just use a standard PS3 controller! I'll definitely keep an eye on this site.

at last some makes something useful! :yes: that will be a reason to use my PS3 for gaming

But Draken, they haven't modded the PS3 yet :laugh:

Just joking with you...

I can easily use both controllers, but this should make the horde of controller haters around here happy! Good news :happy:

anyone considering to Buy this thing? i am still a new user to PS3 and its been some good 5-6 years that i am having console in my hand now. so i dont know is it me with **** skill that i cant play FPS game (metal gear, Tom Clancy) or is it the PS3 sixaxis .

BTW one big Gears of War developer was screaming his disgust for PS3 controller and mentioning that as the reason he will never think of porting GoW to PS3. guess he can cut that reason off the list and try finding new one.

back to topic. Anyone here gets this and find its worth please post your experience :)

Update: It was my favourite guy Cliffy B who said he fucckingHates PS3 controller . :( :sobs: man..

?I hate the ****ing controller,? he told VG247. ?I?m sorry, I can?t stand the PS3 controller. I love the Blu-ray player.?

Bleszinski added that PS3 did have some good games, though, whether he likes the controller or not.

?I think there are some great games for PS3,? he said. ?I think Metal Gear?s great. Heavenly Sword was great. But at the same time, right now, I?m always working on Xbox with Gears.?

Is there anything he?d like from PS3, though? Os is he comfortable with 360?

?I?m pretty comfortable with 360,? he said. ?I like its controller.?

like its controller.?

Humm interesting. its as if, he like PS3 Console but like 360 Controller. very interesting.

I've seen those, but I'm not sure how much Ben charges. He does say email for prices as they aren't hard to make, but to make and then (I assume) import to UK would cost a fair bit I guess. Parts, labour, shipping for a hand-made one-off product...:(

Lol. The experience won't be the same. It would look retarded to point an Xbox 360 controller at a PS3. :laugh: Not to mention, six-axis wouldn't work. :hmmm:

1) Who cares what you are pointing at the monitor?

2) Sixaxis is just a useless gimmick, wouldn't be missed by a lot of players.

The only reason I can think of using an Xbox 360 controller on a PS3 is if you have both consoles and prefer using only one controller. Other than that, this is pretty much a "gimmick."

    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Kind of glad I upgraded to S26 Ultra 1TB this year, with trade-in and discounts it cost me €1199, that's only €119 more than the S23 Ultra (256 GB) cost me. Last time I bought it via my phone provider outright, now via Samsung.com I reckon the S27 series will be more expensive too.

      I cannot believe this is a news post from Neowin. This should be embarassing, coming from a "senior editor". Is it your first day using Windows?! Maybe it's time to find a new Windows news site.
