Wow super fast replies, thanks guys.

I can sort of use a joypad for football games but dunno if i will ever get used to them for FPS. Havent used a joypad/stick properly since the days of Quickshot II.

I think with me its the case of so many buttons in one little place. I get flustered having a game with my 4 year old on her PS2 - she whips me in her games, she does it on the Wii too on Mario Kart

Well I think I will give it a bash and go for one and see how I get on

Actually while you guys are about is this a good deal?

€ 275,00

PS3 Slim 240GB
2 COntrollers
COD Black Ops
MW2
Fifa 2010
WWE 2011
Rapla Rod and Game
Assassin Creed.
Few other games too
All these are original games.
The console also comes with a little device for other things butwont mention its name here.
I was gonna try Ebay for rough price check but its a mare getting on it here half the time.

Hi Scream I just had a browse and came across something called the Eagle Eye Mouse and Keyboard Converter. You can connect the mouse and keyboard to this and then the console recognises it as a joypad.
I know it may be classed as a 'cheat' of sorts in the console world but for old farts like me i may have to think about it if i cant get to grips with a joypad.

Judging by the mention of the "little device for other things", I don't think cheating is high up on his list of concerns.

Excuse me?

If you are implying illegal activities then think again, although it seems that illegal activities may be accepted more than using a keyboard/mouse.

Did you not read what else this PS3 comes with, you really think I am buying this particular console for a little device that i can walk into nearly any console shop and pick up for €20. :rolleyes:

In Spain they are legal but I dont think they are in the UK hence the reason why i did not name it.

Well I am picking up the PS3 later and as the wife is out tonight i am going to give it a bash. Whether or not evolution will catch up with me and give me two thumbs

I will have to wait and see.....but in the meantime I will enjoy probably getting my backside kicked.

You mean the dongle/hack thing? No need to be quite so cryptic

aye

wasnt sure if i would get a slap for mentioning it.

Well i didnt get a chance last night to try out any games as my youngest decided she didnt want to go to bed but I did turn it all on and tried out the internet and set myself up on the PS network. Whether I become an expert with a pad on games or not I am definitely connecting a keyboard and mouse up to use the net etc or things like that as its a mare with the pad - call me a cheat on that one

ps: when i mean the net i mean browsing etc not gaming
