So if your sick of your Playstation 3 controller, the folks at Total Console have made an adapter that allows the use of an XBOX 360 wired controller.

    Funny, I was actually wondering if I could use a PS3 controller for the 360 recently..hehe.

      I'm the same way, and the controller is one of the reasons I have stayed away from Xbox all this time.

    I personally like the ps3 controller better, I have never liked the offset analog sticks it feels awkward.

    Wait, does that mean that using this adapter makes your controller a turbo controller or something ?

      I do. Guess how many times I changed batteries in the last 2 years.

      I use the wired controller. I don't like the wireless controller because the way I hold the controller - my fingers keep hitting the battery pack area.

      I'm totally spoiled by wireless. I do have a cable for recharging it while I play, though... so I guess sometimes, I do go back to wired. =)

    I prefer the PS3 controller. It's much more comfortable. Though Gamecube controllers still beat the crap out of anything else.

    An awesome idea, I hate having to buy extra controllers whenever I buy a new console.
    I wonder if it works with a wireless controller with a play n charge attached, also do many new PS3 games use motion control anymore?

    Too bad this costs almost as much as a new controller, if they could make it wireless and add motion sensors, then it might be worth it.

      Of course, since DS3, it's been made mandatory.

      Seriously, this is WAYYYY OOOOLLLLDDD news!

        If its really that old, it shouldn't have been approved. The new rules are that anything over 4 days old will not be approved?

    I do like the playstation controller the best, just wish the thing was a bit more durable My only dualshock has a messed up l2. And my 2 sixaxis have the worst analog sticks.

    Definately a good idea if you love your 360 controller...too bad im not one of those people though. PS3 Dualshock3 wins.

    I'd rather just play with the dang Dualshock, than spend money to play with my 360 controller. Oh but I can just imagine how much better MGS4 would be with the 360 controller. I guess we will see when it's ported.

    Uh...well clever but completely and utterly useless unless every USB port on your 360 is broken.

    I like my controllers that don't weigh the same as a bowling ball.

    More anti-PS3 sentiment?

    This is old news folks (and failures), there are controller adapters available (and have been for YEARS) to convert console controllers for use on other consoles and PC. I myself have an adapter that allows me to use 2 PS2 controllers through one PC USB port - best PC gamepad ever. I also used adapters to replace the shitty Xbox controllers and use the PS2 Dualshock 2 controller. Even had vibration compatibility.

    PS3 controller adapter's are favored among the community, especially given the wireless/vibration function, and ergonomic superiority.

    Well I suppose this could be pretty handy for the game freaks out there with both consoles.

    But I would say it's more for the careless people who can't look after their stuff really.

    Good news. The 360 controller is much better than the PS3.

      Quiet you! D;

      Don't see how people can prefer uneven analog sticks, unless you've got one giant hand. (Wouldn't happen to be a robot hand, would it?)

    This is pretty cool. I'd love to get this adapter.

    Don't get me wrong, I love the PS3, but I don't like it's original controllers much at all. I much more prefer the 360 controller.

    The back shoulder buttons on the PS3 controller are so fragile, IMO. I've broken 2 PS3 controllers because of the back shoulder buttons, and I've got another one where the buttons stick. And the buttons sticking are pissing me off to the point that I'm thinking of just breaking that one for fun.

    Granted, I'm actually pretty strong, and I get very aggressive when I play some games, so I suppose it's not completely the controllers fault.

    But I just love being able to press the shoulder buttons as hard as I can without fearing they'll break. I can do that with the 360 controller.

    The 360 WIRED controller is horrible though. Wireless is great, but the wired one has an uncomfortable bulkiness feel to it, and the D-Bad/Analog stick flat out suck.

      I find it an offence to call that horrible direction thing the Xbox has a "D-Pad".

      Like the PS Sticks are any better.

      I prefer 360 controllers, PS controllers are easy to break. I have a 5 year old on the loose, anyway.

    This is good news! If I ever get a PS3, i'm definitely getting one of these. The PS3 controllers are crafted to fit womanly and Asian hands, not man-hands like mine. The strength of my man-hands would crush the feeble and small PS3 controller, and i'd surely run out of money having to replace them each day.
