Adaptor to allow use of PS3 controller on Xbox 360

Maxconsole reports: "XCMLive has just informed us of a new product that should be available towards the end of February. The cross fire converter is an adaptor which will allow you to use a PS3 controller on the Xbox 360, more functions will be announced at a later date."

[MAR-TYR-DOM]

I highly advise none of you to purchase this product simply due to quality concerns. I purchased the XCM adapter to use Xbox360 controller on PS3 and it worked fine for the first few days then it stopped working. Very poor quality. I contacted them and i've had no response. If you have extra cash flying around, its not a bad purchase if your prepared for the limited time of use.

[drewdrakes]

That and why would i want to anyway? I prefer the 360 controller. Good for people that like the PS3 pad better though. Control both consoles with one game pad.

[crimsonfox]

it is allot better for fighters...allot better the 360 d pad is pathetic

[MiloGarret]

Yes it is you're right, but other than that the 360 controller is better (IMO) in every other aspect. Can anyone recommend an adapter that allows me to use the 360 controller on my ps3? If there is one...

I'm really looking forward to KZ2 but I detest the ps3 controller for anything but fighting games and dmc, the ability to play KZ2 with my fav controller would be great.

[Sarcasm]

I prefer the PS3's controller. D-pad and smaller dead zone. Although I love the 360's triggers.

[CommonSense]

would anyone want to use a ps3 controller when they don't have to?

let me use the 360 controller on my ps3!

[thats_just_prime]

why would anyone want to use a ps3 controller on the 360 now if it was the other way around that be something

[TheRealSpy]

the guy above you...the guy who left a comment 4 hours before you...said exactly what you said.

reading is hard.

i agree with everyone pretty much though. the 360 controller is much much better. but the dpad is awful. games the require one make the 360 controller feel cheap.

[byeGollum]

i wish i could play gears with the dualshock, but i dont mind the 360 controller

[Rice]

I hate the ps3 controller, its better if you buy the adapter for the ps2 controller, and use that. My original sixaxis is useless, and my dualshock 3's analogs are crapping out.

[Roleplayer]

360 controller is better than PS3's - they should make it the other way round

[duplissi]

hey its a matter of opinion and preference. often times it is simply because one is more used to using one controller over the other, damn dont think that because YOU think that the xbox controller is better that it is.

i in fact prefer the ps3 controller, for one when i play cod on xbox im hitting the bumpers on accident, and i hate the d pad, and i dont like how the face buttons and left analog stick are higher up than the dualshock. also the analog sticks feel stiff and limited compared to the dualshocks, although the indent is rather nice.

but you know why that is?.
.

hhhmmm? MAYBE ITS BECAUSE I USE THE DUALSHOCK 3 FAR MORE THAN THE XBOX'S CONTROLLER, SO I AM ACUSTOMED TO THE DUALSHOCK. MY HOW THAT WORKS HUH? THATS A HARD ONE TO UNDERSTAND.

damn i hate it when someone thinks their oppinion is fact.

[Kleptic]

http://gamer.blorge.com/200...

yeah...its entirely subjective...this was posted on this site just a few months ago...and 360 owners just blatantly ignored it, and went on saying how better the 360 controller is...

the PS3 has BETTER dead zones than the 360...and some of us DO prefer a symmetrical stick layout...I never liked the offset setup of the Xbox 1...or 360...

and not to mention the d-pad on the 360 is little more than a bad joke...

believe me...when SFIV releases... a lot of 360 owners, not wanting to go all out for a decent fight stick, may want this option...as the PS3 controller has a far superior D-pad...and the 360 might as well not even have one...factor in that the 360 console can actually charge a PS3 controller (and can't charge a 360 controller...that is simply too funny)...and your 'the 360 controller is better' doesn't hold much weight with anyone that spends much time with either...

[PirateThom]

That link is bunk.

Who seriously uses the shoulder buttons for accelerating and breaking? It's an awkward layout. Mapping to the face buttons is the best way to go, for any racer, in lieu of a wheel. That's the first thing I did with Forza 2, fix the damn default button layout.

....Reverse
Brake + Handbrake
...Accelerate

The PS3 has analogue face buttons while the 360 does not. Shoulder buttons in GT5P are used for looking around the interior of the car and bringing up the tuning options.

[Kleptic]

actually...in everything but Wipeout HD...i prefer R2 for gas...like motorstorm and burnout paradise...and have a face button for boost...

won't comment on GT5P or whenever GT5 releases...as those games get a G25 wheel...and never a controller...for me at least...

[panasonic23]

ps3 controller only good for fighters other than that 360 controller is the best

[SSJSubgeta]

you're own opinion and preference.

[princejb134]

in fact i think the dualshock control is balanced and is well made, while i feel the 360 controll is bulky, and uncofortable

[bomboclaat_gamer]

the playstation controller was first created towards playing side scrolling games. then later they added the joy sticks. they need to reinvent the controller.

why do they put the analog stick way at the bottom of the controller?

[PirateThom]

Because that's where your thumbs are?

[bomboclaat_gamer]

i guess they should put the buttons down the bottom as well.

[Graphics Whore]

LMFAO.

[duplissi]

so lets assume that you are one of those people that complain about the ps3s analog stick being down there-that your thumb cramps up.

does anyone see the hypocrisy in that assumption?
what about your other thumb on the other analog stick that isnt up top? you dont complain about that now do you. so why would it only hurt one hand?

[Peow]

I use my fingers for the buttons. THere's a better way to hold the DualShock. I use my 3rd finger(the one next to my pinky) on the triggers, and I use my midle finger on the R1/L1 button. I use y index fingers on the buttons, and obviously thumbs on the analog sticks. It's easy, comfortable, and I like it more than the 360 controller

I tried doing that on the 360 controller but I hate the bumpers, my knuckles kept hitting them when I didn't want to. Wasted alot of grenades on COD4.

To me, the PS3 controller is absolutely perfect. I love this controller and wouldn't have any other one.

[duplissi]

above

ill be absolutly honest with you that is one wierd way to hold a controller, feels so alien...

do you have small hands?

[Peow]

No, I have big hands. Well, long fingers anyway. It does feel weird, but it works well for me. Makes things so much easier. Sometimes I'll go back to the "normal" way but usually I'm playing like that.

It's how my brother taught me to use the Analog sticked version of the Dualshock. :P. It seemed to work alot better on the PS2 controller.

Also, it takes some getting used to. I eventually went back the normal way, then I had to revert back, because I was a quick sniper in SOCOM, and you ahd to have your hands like that to do it efficiently :P.

[pixelsword]

well, four fingers and two thumbs to be exact; I use my index and middle fingers for the L 1,2 and R 1,2 buttons, and my thumbs. I hope more games put sixaxis functionality in PS3 games because I'd like them to transfer some button/D-Pad functionality to the controller like Mirror's Edge or Folklore did.

[duplissi]

i must be old fashioned, cause i just use the ol pointer and thumb combo-my pointers for the l&r buttons and my thumbs for everything else

[felidae]

i think it may be good for SFIV but nothing else.

[heyheyhey]

oh how predictable the responses to this article are going to be....

[Uneducated Loser]

lol, no thanks. nothing is better than a 360 controller.

[Crazyglues]

I love the feel of the 360 controller.. do they have something that will let me use it on my PS3...

Now that would be sweet.. :)

Of course it's not for everyone because some people prefer the PS3 controller but I guess it all depends on what you feel more comfortable with...

So if they could make something that let's you use either one.. that would be so cool...

[ambientFLIER]

Yeah, they have adapters to use the 360 pad on your PS3.

[GiantEnemyLobster]

PS3 controller has:

Stupid 'inverted' triggers that make your fingers slip off.
Crappy rumble (or if you get lucky you'll find one with no rumble at all!)
Analogs positioned right next to eachother so your thumbs bump into eachother when you push both inwards.

Or I could continue to use the superior 360 controller. Hmm tough choice.

[no-spin]

that you notice when you switch?
i can switch between PS3 and 360 without a sense of change (besides the dpad). they both feel right to me.
only difference is when i pick up the
wii controller :)

[duplissi]

good for you man, i wish it were that way for me, but the dimensions of the xbox controller throw me off every time i use one- although after an hour or so its alot better but still no dualshock 3 to me at least.

[Obama]

You can't play SF4 with the 360 controller that's all I have to say.

[DOOMZ]

The 360 controller has such a good feel & rumble feture, why would I want that?

[IQUITN4G]

No thank you, that once groovy pad is just horrible after using a 360 one - Crappy dpad though that's for sure

Loads of Sony d!cks on here i see defending their supposedly better pad

[Bathyj]

Lots of insecure xbox d1cks feeling the need to attack the Sony pad when they should just be comfortable with their decission if their pad is so good. As usual but, they sound like they're trying to convince themselves, as well as us.

[IQUITN4G]

In truth the boomerang shape is at least better to hold i imagine due to it being more molded around the hands

Sony owners dismissed it of course because it was different and are unable to try anything other that what they already know - that typically sums up a lot of Sony fans

[KidMakeshift]

I would like to be able to use 1 arcade stick on both systems

[dkp23]

Xbox Controller is much better to use than the ps3's....

[Whoooop]

Thank God....

Now 360 owners can enjoy games comfortably without having to hold a 20 pound lunchbox.

;)

[Ausbo]

why the hell would i want this. That controller sucks. the 360 controller is the best controller since super nintendo

[doomster71]

-When I first bought my 360 about 7 months ago I found the d-pad awful (the diagonals wouldn't work). I bought a wired one a year or so earlier though (for my PC) and found it pretty responsive with the likes of sam showdown 2. I took the wireless one back to game (uk) got another one and I now find it as responsive as my ps3 pad. If anyone has problems with their pad they should just take it and keep taking it back if necessary till they get one that's right.

[pixelsword]

I didn't know you could do that. Bubbles!

[Bathyj]

Finally.

I hope it goes to a Blutooth doggle, so its still wireless.

[Droid Control]

The ps3 (or should i say ps1.3) Pad is inferior to the Xbox 360 pad!

Sony are unwilling (or unable) to correctly prosition (offset) the analogue sticks.

What we need is an adaptor to allow me to to use my 360 pad on my ps3!

[SAiOSiN]

dude it's just preference so shut ur [email protected] mouth. nobody complained about offset analogs when the ps1, ps2 were out. it was the best controller a few years ago and now it's the worst because some fanboys say so.

[ravinshield]

who the fu** would want to do that, the ps3rd controller is sh!tty.

it feels like cheap plastic, it feels nasty on ur hands, must buy a dualshock for vibration, the wannabe triggers are awful.etc

[Shoduke]

I hate the 360 triggers. They make EVERY game feel like a shooter. Sony got it right-trigger qualities but a controller feel.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

"it feels nasty on ur hands"

^1337 |-|@xx0r^

[farhsa2008]

the ps3 controller is the best ever, it has barely changed in the last 15 years or so with only the trigger buttons changed.

[pixelsword]

like a concept car; a creative solution to a controller, but just for show... although if the controller is stable I wouldn't mind a controller like that; it looks good for driving and seems wide enough for bigger hands, but they need to make the sticks bigger; they look like small sticks that would go on a PSP or something.

[Bazookajoe_83]

I think i have to try one of those :-)

[xg-ei8ht]

I just finished uncharted on hard with dual shock. Going for GOLD this time:)

Feels fine to me DS3

[Mutley416]

you have to becareful with with controllers @ buying on the internet-
Look how many people got it when they early adapted to StickFishfx rockfish, alot- cant remember the name...lol....controller-

ALways use good online places, ebay, amazon, buy.com, or physical Name brand stores in the USA..Newegg.com is another good one...or beware-

I would use my XBOX more if I could the ps3 controller...I got some Nice DualShock3`s White & Black-

[sheeepy]

LMFAO! Why would anyone want to use a PS3 controller rather than a 360 controller? Seriously.

[Kyur4ThePain]

LMFAO!
I don't know. But it seems there is enough demand for it that someone thinks there's money to be made.
Seriously.

[NiteWarrior]

Thats sickk i cant stand the retarted xbox controller haa. I dunno why most ppl perfer the 360 controller for fps the dualshock is superior for me but it really IS preference.

Im definetly get this adaptor omg i can only imagine the infinite possibilites! Id go to all my 360 owning friends house and finally shut their loud annoying mouths by raping them in some cod until they quit games period. Most of my friends are xbox owners and they lovee to talk about how good they are in cod/halo haaa cant wait to finally shut them up by straight up ripping them.

If this product works then i would be justified in buying a 360. Thats all i have to say.

[VMAN_01]

I have grown up with the PS controllers. IMO I think there the best since I prefer the symmetry but not only that the DS3 is the perfect weight not to heavy not too light. The thing I hate about the 360 controller is the big a$$ battery pack on the bottom and I for some reason prefer the face buttons on PS3 over the 360 they feel more responsive(I know it sounds weird but that's how I feel).

[Gun_Senshi]

IMO PS controller > x360 controller. and the anagloue placement of X360 controller is just wrong and uncomfortable even in FPSs

[divideby0]

either one is fine...not one is better than the other...than again, I can play tennis or ski with any racket or skis..

[Mutley416]

controllers are just what you get used to...I used to love the SuperNintendo controller back in the day, the N64 had a nice controller too, The only console that had a bad remote was the Coleco Vision...

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

For people that play RPG's, fighters, or Devil May Cry...this is great news! The DS3 was designed for those games.

[JOEdANGEL]

I agree with you on the fighters, but playing RPGs is the same, as the control schemes are practically identical. Unless you're talking about Tales games, and you use the D-pad for combos...?

[ambientFLIER]

It's like putting civic wheels on a BMW. Just not right...

This is probably just a rumor, anyway. They can't pay off their developing costs by selling 9 of these... There are a lot of dumb PS3 owners, but not THAT many.

[SAiOSiN]

cool. i actually prefer the ps3 control over the 360 one. i might buy this.

[ambientFLIER]

360 Pad >>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>& gt;>>>>>>> >> DS3 for the simple reason that people with large hands can't use it correctly. My hands cramp up within 20-30 minutes of using the DS3. On top of that, the analog sticks are slippery (but have good range), and the triggers are a joke (unless you buy the real triggers). Analog face buttons are nothing more than a gimmick. There's too little travel in them to be able to use that feature. Finally, the motion control is too clunky and unresponsive, so that's a gimmick as well (so far).

Maybe if Sony made two versions of the DS3, it would be better, kinda like what the original xbox did.
