This review is from: PS3 JOY BOX - PS2 TO PS3 CONTROLLER ADAPTER (Video Game)

From much playing of COD4, the 6 axis controllers (which I never liked anyway because of it's light weight) stick became unresponsive at certain angles after about 6 months - so I got a duel shock 3 - but sometimes the lateral motion just went - both in the game(not fun at all) and within the PS3 menus occasionally and I had to turn the controller off and on again to have it work right again - also other bizarre things like buttons changing functions and stuff... So - I saw this on amazon and have been nothing but impressed. - The 'analog' button on my old PS2 (which is reassuringly heavy and wired) works as the home button on the PS3 and brings up the main menu, but not it seems the overlay menu - which doesn't bother me - the only other thing that the controller doesn't do with this joy box attachment is turn the system on - which doesn't bother me either - you can turn the system off (through the main menu) though... Very occasionally, the PS3 doesn't seem to recognize the controller after start up, when one presses the PS2 controllers 'analog' button - but I just turn the PS3 on and off again and it always seems to recognize it then...

A huge bonus is that the rumble functions on PS3 games that support rumble work with this attachment - I just tested 'COD - world at war' (don't often play this - much prefer 'COD4 -modern warfare' - which doesn't support rumble - bring on modern warfare 2!) for the purposes of this review and works great...

Aesthetically - it's not too bad either - the usb cord connected to this is long enough to reach from my hip hight home theatre shelf to the floor - so there's no heavy wire (PS2 controller) dragging on the PS3s usb input...

I'm very impressed - wish I'd just got this instead of the duel shock 3 - although It's still convenient to have a wireless controller for some applications.

Highly recommended.

I use it with my PS3 and it works flawlessly. Produces between 60-64 updates a second. It's inexpensive, simple, and works effectively. I highly recommend it if you're in need of a PS2/PS3 adapter.
