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.

drewdrakes6000d ago

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.

crimsonfox6000d ago

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

MiloGarret6000d ago

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.

Sarcasm6000d ago

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

CommonSense6000d ago

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_prime6000d ago

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

TheRealSpy5999d ago (Edited 5999d ago )

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.

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

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.

Roleplayer6000d ago

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

duplissi6000d ago (Edited 6000d ago )

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.

Kleptic6000d ago

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...

PirateThom6000d ago (Edited 6000d ago )

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.

Kleptic5999d ago

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...

Even as the company sets out to overhaul the very definition of Xbox, cuts at its studios risk creating a negative image reminiscent of EA's worst era

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

YourMommySpoils2d ago

Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

Bathyj1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

That's not true at all the OG Xbox had drive and they had hunger and they wanted to accomplish something. It was a great console.

they didn't quite reach their goals and they gave up prematurely because they couldn't win. It was halfway through the Xbox 360 when kinect released and that was when they lost their way and we're a rudderless ship ever since

Agent751d 9h ago

In all fairness, Xbox had some great games with online play, Xbox 360 even better. Xbox consoles started to die with the Xbox One. Ditch consoles for the PC and PS.

YourMommySpoils1d 1h ago

@Bathyj hard to compute ay. Xbox was never better than a PC and that's all they ever were. A demo box. Doesn't get more true than that.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Lightning773d ago

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.

Christopher2d ago

That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

@christopher: “ That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest”
The key word big can be ether good or bad 🤷🏿only time can tell

DarXyde2d ago

First Forza being generated entirely via AI?

If any company would do it, it'd be them.

Nacho_Z1d 16h ago

Isn't the point that it's irrelevant how profitable MS is, the suits have decided it's time that the Xbox division started making them money. Hence the layoffs, the pivots.

hennessey861d 12h ago

That wouldn't surprise me, as motorsport has been heading down hill since the great number 4. Where as playground have consistently put out better games. I think the two studios will be merged under playground games banner.

The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline

Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.

That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.

Project: Horned Owl Review

From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
