What You Need to Know
By Matthew
Quick and dirty, this is what you need to know about this adapter:[*] I experienced some initial trouble using my PS3 controllers to play PS2 games, but have since found that they work for most games. So this USB adapter is NOT necessary to play all PS2 games on your PS3.[*] This DOES enable use of your old PS2 analog controllers to play MOST PS3 games. However, any PS3 game requiring the Sixaxis functionality of the new PS3 controllers and some that require R2/L2 sensitivity will not function perfectly. Also, since PS2 controllers do NOT have the Playstation/Home button that PS3 controller's have, you cannot easily exit out of games to the PS3 menu screen as you can with PS3 controllers.[*] This DOES enable use of your PS2 analog controllers to navigate the PS3 menu screens, PSN, internet browser, etc.[*] This is NOT fully functional with your old PS2 Guitar Hero controller. It is partially functional, but that's not good enough for GH.[*] This IS functional for using MOST PS2 accessories (eg, steering wheels, arcade sticks, DDR mats) on your PS3. But your device may not work 100% which is likely an issue with your device's compatibility with the PS3, not this adapter.[*] You can order this directly from Eforcity, the manufacturer in CA, for a total of $6.25 through Amazon. Mine was packaged well and shipped very quickly. It arrived in just 2 days.[*] A Playstation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller costs $50 & the 'old' Sixaxis cost ~$40-45. A PlayStation 2 Dualshock Controller Black only costs $20 + $6.25 for this adapter. Even a nice wireless PlayStation 2 Cordless Action Controller only costs $30.I am very happy with the two eforcity adapters I purchased. They are small and simple, but they allow me to play old PS2 games on my new PS3 as well as use my old PS2 controllers with new PS3 games.Hope this information is helpful. Please click 'Yes' if it is.

By Isaiah Span
A whole lot better then spending 50 bucks on a new ps3 controller because the ps2 controller works well on most ps3 games. Now I can play my friends without dishing out much cash at all. Just can't use 6-axis obviously. Also some games might not let you use the ps2's L2 and R2 buttons because the pressure sensitivity may be different, but I've only experienced that on one game so far.

By M. Groginski
PS2 Controller Adaptor for Sony PS3I originally ordered one because it was so cheap and figured if it didn't work oh well. I wanted to be able to play with three other friends on call of duty, but a new controller would cost $55. With this I was able to use an old PS2 controller and this $4 adapter saving a lot of money. It works perfectly even L2 and R2 (in call of duty at least) great way to save money!
