So, you like playing PS3, but prefer the 360 controller.

Solution!



I found out about this adapter on the PS forums today and I thought I'd share it with you.

I personally prefer the DS3 because of the stick fluidity and the fact that it doesn't make my hands sweat. But I totally understand the fact that people prefer the 360 con. (If only they made one of these for the DS3+360) There are a couple of little flaws though, it only works wired up and you will lose the pressure sensitivity of the buttons. (If you play Gran Turismo with the X button as a throttle, you might want to reconsider) But if you absolutely hate the DS3 and don't mind compromising wireless freedom, than $50 should keep you satisfied.

I wish you could just plug this into the PS3, but it apparently needs drivers to work. $50 is a bit steep for me for something that'll only let me use another controller, which I'd still have to buy.

Also, I want that white PS3.

I've seen similar things on Gizmodo...where essentially you can use DS3 on a 360 and a 360 Con on the PS3.

As Pedrovay already stated, I too want the white PS3. :(

I like the DS3, my hands are symmetrical.
mr spooky's Destructoid Blog
I still prefer the PS3 controller.

I prefer the DualShock 3.

Am I the only person whose hands don't sweat when they play games? I feel like I am some times.
Atlas's Destructoid Blog
I like the cock shaped analog sticks.
ArrestedDeveloper's Destructoid Blog
I'd like that but you'd have to have a wired controller, the play and charge cord only charges the battery it doesn't transfer data.
Usedtabe's Destructoid Blog
This is awesome.

"If you play Gran Turismo with the X button as a throttle..."

Ew. Gross.

How the fuck can you even have full throttle control with the X button?
de BLOO's Destructoid Blog
I'm okay with not buying this.
brainderailment's Destructoid Blog
@Vexed, you can but it's not nearly as easy as the triggers. I believe X is the default button.

The PS3 controller sucks cause of the new L2 and R2 buttons. Bleh

I got used to the triggers on the PS3 controllers really quickly, actually. They're better for racing games than shooting games, but I ended up being fine with them while playing Killzone 2, also. Just takes some getting used to.
themizarkshow's Destructoid Blog
I prefer the DS3 as well. The triggers being recessed isn't great, but I'm thinking about dropping $4 on some of the trigger extenders anyway. Since I didn't have to buy a rechargeable battery for $50, I figure it's not too bad of a deal.
Drauglim's Destructoid Blog
My hands are too big for your childish dualshock controller.
TheToiletDuck's Destructoid Blog
Dammit, thought that might be a good way for me to use my Hori Ex2 360 stick on my ps3... but then i saw it was $50 and i was like no way.
