Xbox Controller On PS3

McDaniel · 6 Jun 2011 at 10:54

Folks,

Is it possible to use an xbox 360 controller on the PS3; I can't stand the PS controller and it really hurts my hands after a while, but love the 360 one.

I just wanted to play Uncharted/Uncharted 2!

Few ways of doing it. Without building a new controller the XCM Crossfire Adapter is probably your best bet.

is that adaptor any good? Anyone on here use it?

You have any hands on experience with it? I would prefer an adapter route as opposed to any hardware modification; but I know adapters are not always the most responsive!

Easier to get new hands surely?

Not had any hands on with it. Been considering it so i could use my Onza on the PS3. I'm sure a new model came out recently though which has had quite a good write up.

The only other thing I would try would be a PS360 controller.

Looks like the Crossfire is PS>Xbox and the Cross Battle is Xbox > PS

Expensive stuff though

Just emailed you another much cheaper option. Had a look at the reviews and it seems decent.

i dont know what email my trust has (might be an old ISP one)...

And me too if you wouldn't mind! The PS3 controller is the bane of my life

I was going to mention that but didn't know if you had shifted it or not.

Or if that seems like too much effort, there is a controller made by Gioteck I think which looks a little like a 360 pad, not sure how good it is though but may be worth a look.
EDIT: Yep, its called the HF-2: http://www.gioteck.com/wordpress/?page_id=1536

That Gioteck looks pretty smart actually, will try and find some reviews.

Have to say that looks somewhere between gorgeous and oh no the cat has been sick on my controller.

Not really worth spending any money just to play two games surely, the DS3 can't be that hard for you to use.
