Use your Xbox 360 controller on PS3 (XCM Cross Battle Adapter)

XCM has announced a new product known as XCM Cross Battle Adapter. This little adapter is a wetdream for all 360 controller lovers who own a PS3. The Battle adapter allows you to hook up your Xbox 360 controller and use it with your PS3! XCM said that this product only works with the wired Xbox 360 controllers, and has a built in rapid fire function.

ohh why did i swap my wired controlled to my cuzn for a wireless 1 i shold trade it back and using 360 control will be good for killzone 2

[GVON]

no mate,unless it has sixaxis functions

[Max Power]

we'll know the cheater with the sweet rapid fire shotgun, hand gun, sniper rifle, and all the other single shot weapons.

[mikeslemonade]

Awesome, thisis one thing I like the 360 more than the PS3 is the controller. 360 controller simply is more durable. When I play 360 I don't have to worry about how hard I press the buttons or how fast I press the buttons.

Dammit this sucks now I have to give my money to Microsoft the corrupt cooperation.

[Max Power]

that you don't play any games that require the pressure sensitive buttons.

[ambientFLIER]

Those pressure sensitive buttons are a gimmick.

[FantasyStar]

MGS2-4 wants a word with you.

[iiraymoii]

Then I guess Microsoft's triggers are a gimmick..shame on them for using pressure technology.

[buy a ps3]

most games don’t use thing like pressure sensitive controls and sixaxes and something’s when they do they mess up (Lair). but when used well and correctly they add a great level of depth and fun to a game like heavenly sword, mgs4, rachet and clank, and hopefully Killzone 2

[FantasyStar]

I thought Lair did a great job with SIXAXIS. If I'm able to score all Gold Tooth?(Trophies) on all levels, then I suppose the game isn't as broken as everyone's leading others to believe. Broken implies that the function is unusable. So technically I shouldn't be able to attain those Gold trophies if the controls was broken.

This pre-meditated hate, I blame on the lack of developers trying to take full-advantage of the tools presented. SIXAXIS has the potential to be something great. I hope KZ2 will make developers realize that. And I hope gamers can be more tolerant towards learning new forms of gaming.

And yes, I believe the Wii is a PoS even though I defend Motion controls: but that's another topic.

[ShinMaster]

Why would I wanna trade my much responsive and superior pressure sensitive buttons from my PS3 controller with something that makes playing Street Fighter so freaking hard and rubbish!?

[Tarasque]

Ohhhhhh, it is on now. I can finally stop using the playstation controller.

@FantasyStar
I have a broken pencil, but i can still write with it but it makes it hard. Understand?

@ The rest of the people
The 360 controller does have pressure sensitive buttons, and i don't mean the triggers. This was a major deal for me with the first DOA on the 360

[QuackPot]

A great controller for shooters. Solid unit.

Would love a Wii-mote adaptor though.

would be even better for Killzone2 or R2 for lightning fast aiming/looking.

[pathetic fanboys]

a 360 on kz2....to good to pass up on. that's really good news imo.

[kevnb]

except that the wii-mote is inaccurate and clumsy for fps. Keyboard and mouse support would be nice though, I have a wireless set and a table.

[ambientFLIER]

There's a huge difference between triggers and face buttons. Triggers have far more travel and buttons are impossible to press only quarter-way or half-way, like the triggers. Therefore, analog buttons = gimmick. Nice try.

[PistolPumptMonk]

Maybe now gametrailers can use a 360 controller on the PS3 and they won't whine about how bad the PS3 controller is. hehe

Personally, give me a Playstation controller anyday.

[BulletToothtony]

i'm not a hater at all.. i think both consoles are great... both MS and Sony are challenging each other and WE the gamers are the ones that come out winning...

With that said, people will like the controller you're more used to playing.. In my case i rather the ps3 controller, it just feels more natural to me, since i play with it more often. that doesn't mean that the 360 sucks, only fanboys used an excuse as stupid as that to say that a game is worse on one console because of the controller.. that's just plain fanboy talk.

[XxZxX]

Now now there, pistol, you are asking a pig to fly.

[TrevorPhillips]

i agree with you man they do complain alot

[ThatCanadianGuy]

No thanks.Dualshock 3 for me!

[zig_zag_stories]

I like the 360 controller better then the ps3. my hands cramp up when playing the ps3 I cant wait. this is better then cramming a ps3 guts inside of a 360 controller

[poopsack]

aww that sucks, have to be wired, i was hoping something like connecting a wireless 360 controller to computer, changing drivers and something like that would make it work. But then again, even if that existed it wouldnt have sixaxis functions.

[Bathyj]

If you get one that goes the other way, let me know. I used to use a DS2 on my XB1.

[cheapndirty]

I hate to say this but I hate the ps3 controller. I prefer the 360 controller by a huge margin. I need to get this.

[Timesplitter14]

Dualshock 3 feels better to me. I just hate having my thumbs in an asymetric position.

[cmrbe]

go backwards?.

[ambientFLIER]

That's what I was thinking. You'd think that MS would have a problem with their pad being used on an inferior console from one of their main competitors. Weird...

[iiraymoii]

Some one left the womb with out their brain..

[BattleAxe]

Wow, with the ability to use 360 controllers and the possibility of Gears3 coming to the PS3, I'd say this is a wrap! There will be very little reason to own a 360 other then HALO if you're into that.

[ambientFLIER]

Finally there will be a great controller on the PS3!

[ravinshield]

lucky girls,you'll finally feel the greatest controller on the planet

[Aclay]

Meh, I've been playing with Playstation controllers for over 10 years, I'll stick with the Dualshock 3. Sometimes I don't see why so many people complain about the PS3 controller whenever it literally has the same design as the PS1 and PS2 controller... and on top of that, the PS3 has the best D-pad.I like having my thumbs at the same position/on the same level with the Dualshock.

[ppthedipshit]

Get that Sh1tbox -360 gay arse controler away from my Playstation 3, we don't want it. We also don't want to get yellow lights of death.

[J-Train]

whoopsy, this msg was meant for the open zone

it's that way right? -------->

[Paperfone]

GOOD, now why would I want to use a shi**y xbox controller instead of a dualshock 3??????

[J-Train]

i used to hate xbox controllers, i found the black and white buttons awkward. never played a 360.....guess that's because i'm not an uneducated, racist, toothless, poor, foul mouthed, never been laid looser like the xbots on this site.

[Deadman64]

No, it's probably because your a fanboy

[UltimateIdiot911]

I have a wireless Xbox360 for my PC games, and it's rather uncomfortable. I prefer my Dualshock 3. Thanks but no thanks.

[Gerry]

You know you can use a PS3 controller on your PC? The only thing is no rumble or SIXAXIS support on PC, yet.

Check these out
http://news.filefront.com/h...

http://zedomax.com/blog/200...

Or check a youtube video if you have problems with it. The method uses the cable you normally use to charge your controller on your ps3, doesnt require a bluetooth pc at all.

I can confirm this works 100%, i use it to play NeoGeo roms.

[UltimateIdiot911]

Yeah, but I got the wireless 360 controller before I got a PS3 and it was free. I use my Dualshock 3 for PC gaming every now and then. It's annoying sometimes only because I have to run the applications again to get it to work. And I like rumble, but I prefer the rumble on PS3 especially in MGS4. I can tell if any enemy is near through rumble.

[OOG]

nice if it works good i might do this for killzone and other fps games weoo ..... have to see if it actually works properly tho....and have rumble.....

[jericho25]

What is better a pistol or a machine gun? In the end they both are weapons. (Same goes with controllers)

[ugabugaz]

Machine gun of course... Why fire 1 bullet when you can fire 100?

Mounted Mini-Gun FTW!

[OOG]

but...one will be more effective then the other depending on the user.....

So it all comes down to personal preference

[darkdoom3000]

a better argument would be shotgun vs machine gun.
considering most times, people would choose machine gun over the pistol.

some people perfer machine guns others like shotguns.

[Serjikal_Strike]

A Ps3 online game and you see some dumba$$ running into walls or shooting at nothing...then that means hes using a xbox controller!

[Shmapanese]

that was acually funny man,props and mad bubbles to ya :)
the only thing i kinda liked about the 360's controller is the comfort feel to it but other then that the 360 controller can phuck off.
think of it this way,cliffy "im gay" blazinski now has a reason to play the ps3 since he didnt like that ps3 controller. :)

now that he knows that,he'll now figure out that since he can play a ps3 with his 3sh!ty controller,he will now make gears3 multiplatform :)

ps: once again phuck 360 controller and its cry-baby's who play with em.

[Serjikal_Strike]

Bubble right back to you!

[PS360PCROCKS]

Thank god! I didn't wanna play through KZ2 with cramped hands on the PS3 controller, man I hate having to use R1 and R2 for shooting and aiming it makes my hands hurt.

[darkdoom3000]

IGNORE.

Replied to wrong post. srry.

[plain rice]

I really do wonder how you guys even hold your controllers. Like a damn vise grip or something? LOL Seriously, I can adapt to any controller layout with ease. The DS3 and the 360 controller are both fine, IMO.

Even my girl can play on both controllers and she has small hands. I think this is quite ridiculous and really hard to believe. Try playing a guitar for your first time, now that's what I call arthritis in the making.

[Lucas22]

pretty cool, i would but it if it didn't have the rapid fire .

[Hot_tea]

I don't want a retarded fisher price controller on my ps3.

[kewlkat007]

The only reason I shy away from PS3 shooters is that damn controller and the same goes for Fighters on the 360.

I used to have that frag thingy(from lik-sang) so I can connect my Dual shock to my Original Xbox and it worked pretty well.

If this works then I'll go ahead and buy R2 and KZ2. If not Meh....

Controllers are very subjective and is all about preference, I don't car if you came out the womb with a DS controller in your hands, I could care less.

[etownone]

thats pretty sweet.

lets hope it works.

[cactuschef]

Hooray! Now when my friends come over to play COD4 on my PS3 they can stop b1tching about how the different controller makes it hard for them to play. No more excuses for their suckness.

[Menech]

Everyone agrees that system wise (not game or services) the PS3 is the more robust system. But saying the old PS1 controller design even compares to the 360 pad is a joke. Proven fact the 360 pad is better on the hands then the PS3 pad no matter what way you spin it. The ps3 pad causes cramp one of my best mates is pro PS3 and even he can't go as far to say the PS3 pad is better.

I think that's one of the reason's games like COD WAW sells almost twice as much on the 360.

[0verdrive]

they need to outlaw the phrase "proven fact" on n4g.

the xbox controller is NOT factually better than the ds3. you may think that it is better, as do many people, but that is personal preference. read many of the comment above you, a lot of people prefer the ds3 over the xbox controller because they have been using it for so long. they are not "bending the rules of the universe" by defying "fact". i think that the xbox controller is more comfortable in my hand, but i feel that if the arms of the ds3 were a little longer, it would be equally as comfortable. if you are cramping while holding the ds3, you are probably holding it wrong, way too far back in you hands, putting the arms into the groove of your hands, with your thumbs point straight at each other. that is wrong, and will result in cramping. for everyone else who is holding it right, it is perfectly comfortable, sans the short arms, in my opinion.

[darkdoom3000]

wow, your friends hand cramping makes it a fact the DS3 is inferiour???

people have diffrent prefrences, Ive been playin with the dualshock for like 9 years, so my hands have adjusted to them. likewise, i find the 360 controller uncomfortable. and i find the analouge placement weird, my hands are just used to symmetry i guess

also whenever i play on a xbox, i keep on thinking the X button is the lowest one (like on DS3)

Also the COD selling reason is so stupid! the 360 has more consoles sold and has a higher attach rate! also multiplats are usually better on the 360.

[Shmapanese]

ill stick with the sony official DS3,since i have ben gaming with the DS series for a little over 10 years and havnt complained.

and same goes for 90% is not ALL the gamers since the ps1 days,no one has complained then did they? NO!,and wen ps2 came out,did anyone complain then? NO! (everyone hated the original xbox controller),and now all of a sudden some peeps are complaining about the DS3?? its the SAME DAMN THING exccept with some cool modifications like sixaxis and better triggers then previouse ones...

i can use both with out getting cramps on my hands -i (and many others) have a reason to complain about the 360 controller since its a new design in this generation-i personally dont care for the analog stick placements and the overall dreamcast make and feel to it. but other then that,its acually a good controller.

:) (:

PS: the 360 controller can still kiss my @ss :) happy gaming.

[PS360PCROCKS]

I played on a DS controller on the PS1 and never complained when I was 12!! Don't know about you but my hands grew over the past 11 years, and the PS3 controller cramps my hands like none other.

[da_hitman81]

hmmm..... lemme think about this. Use a controller that has a crappier D-pad than the PS3 one, oh and also has a bigger dead zone for the sticks. Which means i have to move the stick more before it registers any movement.

Now before you fan boys go off like your MS command prompt tells you to.

I HAVE BOTH SYSTEMS!!!
the 360 is a great controller, i can play longer with it before my hands feel funny.
Yes i realize the six axis wasn't the greatest but to each their own.

would i spend money on this..... NO
if had i wired controller and it was given to me for free, i would give it a shot.

but the real ppl that should be upset about this is SONY.
They provide you a controller that has a battery that can be re-charged, where as MS makes you pay extra for that option.

and thats my 2 cents.

[Marty8370]

DS3 is the superior pad. The 360 pad is crap like the 360 itself.

[InMyOpinion]

I bet lots of PS3 owners will use them on the sly. ;)

[Horny]

Id actually want to be able to use the DS3 on the 360 because to me the controls feel tighter and my precision is better.
I wish a third party would make a controller somewhere in between the ds3 and 360.
Im actually used to both of them so I really dont care.

[Kroganwrex]

Anyone think this would work using a play n charge kit?
