Guitar hero fans can now rejoice that they can play there guitars on the ps3. Pelican Created a adapter that you plug your guitar into and then to your ps3.

Pelican has released a new USB adpater with the following features:


1. 5-year warranty. Pelican will replace or repair your console if a Pelican product damages it.

2. It has a “PS Home” button on it and four red LEDs to indicate controller number.

3. “Guitar Hero(tm) 1 and 2 Ready: Plug in your favorite guitar and rock out to Guitar Hero 1 and 2 on your PS3.”

4. It doesn’t support rumble.



During the tests we were only able to show that the PS Home button works and that the LEDs designating controller numbers are accurate. It also seems to treat the Analog button on the Dual Shock 2 as a sort of Home button as well: if you hold it down it pops up the menu.

The red LEDs are important, because it along with the PS Home button basically lets the controller join as a second, third, or further player, something my run-of-the-mill USB adapter doesn’t let you do. Either you’re the only controller or you can’t use it. This is a nice upgrade.

look for Pelican Part Number: PL6338.

    I'm more interested in the adapter being able to assign different ports to standard controllers.
