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."

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
