Use Your Playstation 2
Controllers On Your Playstation 3 With the PS2 Controller Adpater
Do you own a
Playstation 3? I Do. And I absolutely love this game machine. In fact, I
love it so much that I put my good old trusty Playstation 2 system up for
sale and sold it. Mind you, I'm keeping all of my favorite games, because
they can be played on the PS3 as well. Especially the two player games
that I play often with friends. Thankfully I had several PS2 controllers
(4 to be exact) and decided to only sell two of them with my Playstation 2
console. I figured I could use my PS2 controllers on my Playstation 3, and
not have to spend another $50.00 on an extra controller.
Now, I did of course know that the Playstation 3 controllers were not the
same as the Playstation 2. While they do have their SIXAXIS wireless
controllers, they also have SIXAXIS wired Playstation 3 controllers as
well. However, these use a USB port in order to be able to plug into the
controller ports on the Playstation 3. This did present a problem, because
the Playstation 2 controllers do not have a USB plug, but a unique plug
that's specific to the PS2 Console.
However, having reviewed and written about video games and video game
accessories for many years now, and watched as innovative companies
designed and developed what are called controller adapters for essentially
every single video game console on the market, I was certain that it was
only a matter of time before a Playstation 2 to Playstation 3 controller
adapter would be released. And boy was I right. Not even 3 months after
the release of the Playstation 3, the PS2 to PS3 Controller adapter
started showing up on video game web sites.
The Playstation 2 to Playstation 3 controller adapter is an adapter for
Playstation 2 controllers. About 3 to 6 feet long, depending on which
model you buy. The adapter allows you to plug in a Playstation 2
controller to one and, and then plug the other end, which is a USB plug,
into the Playstation 3. Your Playstation 2 controller will work just like
any wired Playstation 3 controller, minus the SIXAXIS Support of course,
and the HOME button that's on all of the PS3 controllers.
All of the buttons are of course there, so you'll be able to play every
single Playstation 3 game just as you would when using a Playstation 3
controller. Unfortunately, though the PS2 controllers have the rumble
function / dual shock built in, Sony decided to remove this from the
Playstation 3 controllers (and I suspect it had a lot to do with the
lawsuit brought against them by the developers of this technology). What
this means is that regardless of the DUAL SHOCK functions built into your
Playstation 2 controller, unless you're playing Playstation 2 games. |
