You got your Xbox 360 controller in my PS3


Recommended Posts

I wouldn't say this is useless at all. A lot of people wish they could use a 360 controller on their PS3, and this device makes that possible. Six-axis being lost is hardly the greatest tragedy ever either...let's take Resistance 2 for example. It's used to melee attack, and that's it.. I find R3 easier to use. Other games don't really make much use for it either, and certain ones that do (GTA4) use it for features not many use due to seating (laying) positions.

+1 it isn't very good for FPS i think...also is it just me or are the thumbsticks too 'rounded'? like the top of them? on the 360 they are indented so you thumbs don't slip out, which i like

QFT. I think Sony's design team eats a lot of hard candy and they all have sticky fingers. To the rest of the world the sticks and "triggers" are a problem.

Sony has always designed Playstations like that. Which is one of the reasons I disliked my PSP and PS2. Made the edges of my fingers hurt/slip after a while of intense Socom-play.

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.

some fps games you can change the controller map and some even let you customise. so if anyone goes for this then i would recommend checking the conrtoller maps first for your preferred games.

i do agree though that the 360 controller is alot more optimised for FPS's and if the controller maps allow the triggers to be used for firing then all the much better :yes:

I like the PS3 controller, I just personally prefer the 360 controller. The analog sticks are placed better in my opinion, and the triggers are far better for FPS games (which is primarily what I play). I have a really hard time adapting to the way FPS games shoot on the PS3, since most don't use the triggers.

buy Giotech Real Triggers thats what I did but I have no problem using R1 to fire

Yeah I have the RealTriggers as well (I actually may have a different brand but maybe not), but those little pieces of plastic really make the world of difference. With that said, I want this personally.

So can it be ordered yet? I am not sure going by their site and the sites they link to, it makes it seem like it is available but then I see no links to actual purchase it?? If there is a link to buy it and I am missing it, please post it here.

But yeah, 360 controller on my PS3, Killzone coming out in a few months, goes without saying I would love for this thing to actually work and work good. I will get one in a heartbeat.

Yes the Control Sticks on the PS3 are horrible, but just as bad as the D-pad on the 360. FPS on 360 and just about anything else on PS3. Sixaxis.. I have a decent amount of games that support and use it well. Blast Factor, Locoroco, and Folklore off the tip of my head. Folklore is a GREAT action RPG and I would say that without Sixaxis controls the game would suck.

For the record, the best controller for a racing game is Logitech's G25. Hori's arcade sticks for fighting games and Mouse and Keyboard for FPS. It's a game by game scenario and when im forced to I'll usually use a PS3 controller for just about any genre over the 360 one (specially fighters... ugh Street Fighter 2 HD must be horrible on the 360). 360 controller wins out on FPS though.

Why is everyone hating on the PS3 Dual Shock 3 controller? I think its better than the 360's bulkyness

The PS3 controller apparently was not designed for use in human hands; the side-by-side thumbsticks don't work well at all for FPS games, and the analog "triggers" don't travel far enough.

I cannot stand the DualShock controller. When I do pick up a PS3, I'll be getting one of these adapters as well. Hopefully it'll work with the Logitech DriveFX as well, so I can play Gran Turismo 5 with my wheel :D

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...:(

i've actually e-mailed him before to see how much he charges to make a PS3 controller with a 360 shell...$500 :\

I know some effort is involved, but 500 dollars?! :laugh:

If he made it reasonable, he'd probably get a decent bit of income on the side.

There's definitely some potential sales lost there that he's priced himself out of. Maybe I'll learn how to make a PS360 controller and make boat loads of money, laughing at him for not taking advantage of the opportunity.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
    • In rare occasions when you turn your computer on you will be greeted with a Secure Boot error followed by the message "No boot device found" If you go into the UEFI and disable Secure Boot the system boots up just fine. Below is a method I found online to fix the issue Disable Secure Boot and boot into Windows (If Bitlocker is enable you'll have to go to https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey on another device to find your bitlocker recovery key). Find a flash drive and make sure it's formatted Fat32 Create a folder on the flash drive called EFI and a subfolder inside EFI called BOOT On your computer navigate to C:\windows\boot\EFI Copy the file SecureBootRecovery.efi to your flash drive\EFI\BOOT Now reboot the computer and tell the computer to boot off that flash drive. You should see a black screen with some text telling you it has repaired Secure Boot Turn Secure Boot back on and reboot and your computer should boot normally.
