Didn't work AT ALLDecember 2, 2008 JP(The Roc, NY) I purchased this product hoping to get some re-use out of my old ps2 controllers...I was gravely disappointed. First of all, the product came in just an envelope with no wrapping whatsoever. It seemed like it was a stolen and resold... Secondly, I tried this (which btw does not look anything like the picture) on both my wireless Logitech AND my wired original sony controllers and it never worked. Lastly, I tried to contact the company to have them resolve this. I have never heard back from them. They literally robbed me. BUYER BEWARE and do not purchase this product or any from this seller. You will be ripped off.
good piece of equipmentOctober 12, 2008 Jose D. Garcia(LA, CA) this does exactly what is intended to do. it was a money saver I can now use my controlers from my ps2 and play with other people.
ps2 adaptor for ps3October 4, 2008 A. Duran I like the fact that i have ps2 controller(not sony brand)and i have connected to my computer and it works perfect, but if you try to use a sony brand controller it probably wont work. Although its doesnt work for any of my ps2 games.
PS2 Controller Adaptor for Sony PS3September 24, 2008 Ricky R. Venegas(texas) Well there is not much to say about about this product. The PS2 Controller Adapter for Sony PS3 works just like it was described. It beats having to purchase another ps3 remote at about $50. The only reason why I did not give a 5 star rating is of course the PS button and the fact the ps2 controllers do not have the 6 axis.
What You Need to KnowSeptember 10, 2008 Matthew "Ski" Swope(Zurich, Switzerland) 11 out of 13 found this review helpful
Quick and dirty, this is what you need to know about this adapter:
[*] I experienced some initial trouble using my PS3 controllers to play PS2 games, but have since found that they work for most games. So this USB adapter is NOT necessary to play all PS2 games on your PS3.
[*] This DOES enable use of your old PS2 analog controllers to play MOST PS3 games. However, any PS3 game requiring the Sixaxis functionality of the new PS3 controllers and some that require R2/L2 sensitivity will not function perfectly. Also, since PS2 controllers do NOT have the Playstation/Home button that PS3 controller's have, you cannot easily exit out of games to the PS3 menu screen as you can with PS3 controllers.
[*] This DOES enable use of your PS2 analog controllers to navigate the PS3 menu screens, PSN, internet browser, etc.
[*] This is NOT fully functional with your old PS2 Guitar Hero controller. It is partially functional, but that's not good enough for GH.
[*] This IS functional for using MOST PS2 accessories (eg, steering wheels, arcade sticks, DDR mats) on your PS3. But your device may not work 100% which is likely an issue with your device's compatibility with the PS3, not this adapter.
[*] You can order this directly from Eforcity, the manufacturer in CA, for a total of $6.25 through Amazon. Mine was packaged well and shipped very quickly. It arrived in just 2 days.
[*] A Playstation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller costs $50 & the 'old' Sixaxis cost ~$40-45. A PlayStation 2 Dualshock Controller Black only costs $20 + $6.25 for this adapter. Even a nice wireless PlayStation 2 Cordless Action Controller only costs $30.
I am very happy with the two eforcity adapters I purchased. They are small and simple, but they allow me to play old PS2 games on my new PS3 as well as use my old PS2 controllers with new PS3 games.
Hope this information is helpful. Please click 'Yes' if it is.
