*shrug* I'm sure it takes him some time to make them, so mass production may not be what he's after.

But $500?!

I can almost buy a PS3 and mod it into a 360's case for that price :laugh:

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.

But Larry, I thought there was nothing wrong with the Dual Shock / Sixaxis in FPS?:p

360 controller ftw :p

@ Ayepecks, in RFOM & RFOM2 they let you map the buttons how you like. I imagine they'll do the same in Killzone 2. Not sure what the other multi platform games are like with their controller options, I always buy them on the 360!

There is nothing wrong with it IMO, but I have stated several times I prefer the 360 controller over it, no doubt.

FTR, I will be getting one of these to review for the site, got the confirmation today, and hopefully will have it before X Mas. I will put up my review a day within getting it.

That's sweet, did you just email the guys?

Cause most of the devices they sell run pretty expensive.

Yes indeed. I have written for the site, let them know my focus is gaming, so was all legit.

I know, just fooling around after our last discussion on the topic :p

I know. :p

Oh man this is great news!

I hate the PS3 controllers, I'm definitely picking one of these up if they work :unsure:

Hold off for my review that I will put up on the Main Gamers News if you can. According to the email I received, I should be receiving it by X-Mas, which is when they stated it will be hitting retail. I will say I have had people say they would give me a review model of something and I never receive it for whatever reason, but hopefully that does not happen here.

So the review should be timely, and I also told them I have all intentions of telling members here the blatant truth, so if it sucks, I will say so, and if it is good, I will also say so. I do not do reviews just to make good relationships with people to get more review items, I do reviews to help the members here. I was crystal clear with telling them this, , so I have a feeling that says something right there as they still agreed to send one out. So if you can, I would say hold off and like I said I will do my review within a day of receiving it the latest as I know a lot of people here are looking forward to getting this if it does work.

I'm glad to hear we'll be getting a review DL. I agree that it's a positive sign that they're still sending one out - they have confidence in their product. And if it's good there'll be another small batch of business through us lot.

I found this over at PS3 Center (picture in the article linked):

New Adapter allows 360 Controller to be used with PS3

Ever since the PS3 launched, there has been a variety of complaints about the controller. While the amount of people who actually dislike it has been fairly small, most will agree that the triggers and size of the controller could use a bit of work. Larger hands often have trouble gripping onto DualShock3, and holding the triggers down for a racing game can sometimes make fingers begin to hurt. A number of people have simply said that they prefer the 360?s more ergonomically styled controller to Sony?s offering.

Those people should look into buying the XCM Cross Battle adapter, which allows a wired 360 controller to be used with a PS3. There are some drawbacks, such as not being able to use SixAxis control, being constrained by a wire, and the 360?s god awful D-pad, but many will appreciate having the option to choose which controller they use.

The XCM Cross Battle adapter costs a penny less than $40, and is scheduled to ship prior to Christmas week. If you?re still doing some last minute shopping, this may be a great gift for a gamer with both a PS3 and 360. You can order the adapter here.

Review here - http://www.loadingreality.com/index.php?op...&Itemid=142

Reviewer is pretty happy, here's the cons though

* Rumble: The CBA does not transmit rumble, or at least any rumble I was aware of, but if I have gone this long without a vibrating PS3 controller, I think I can survive a still 360 controller, too.

* Tilt Control: It goes without saying that you lose tilt control when you use the CBA. So, games like Lair and Warhark will either be handicapped or unplayable. But that's really a case by case issue. At least the CBA knows what to do in the absence of a tilt sensor and doesn't act erratically.

* The Ring of Light: The 360 ring on the controller does not show player position and continuously flashes.

* At the Mercy of Design: Developers make the decision how to map buttons and rarely offer freely-remappable schemes. If PS3 dev says "Fire with R1 because it's better than the trigger", you can't do anything but push RB. However, this is no fault of XCM. Their device does exactly what it should. Blame Sony for making the Sixaxis the way they did and forcing developers to make these decisions. So, it follows naturally that games that use gas and primary fire on the triggers will benefit the most from this device.

The ring of light would probably annoy me with the continuous flashing :/

Therefore if it's just triggers annoying you, I'd just grab some $3 giotek real triggers. Or else you could go with this if you're cool living with any cons.

Yeah I could live with the flashing, it woudn't be hard to cover it up or remove the LED's (the extreme).

I didn't expect the controls to be mappable but its still disappointing. Especially when Insomniacs for instance choose a ridiculous layout for R1/R2.

I know you can remap the controls, its the first thing I did when I played the game.

I think I've misread the review though. Does PS3 software allow you to remap controls just like you would using a DS3 / Sixaxis? (providing the game allows it of course)

Did you hear anything from them again Larry?

Last I hear was an email from them saying they did not make the Holidays deadline, and I should have my review unit in the first 10 days of January.

Since I leave for Vegas later tonight to cover CES for the site, they may miss me reviewing it in the next week.
