DO NOT Buy this P.O.S. It does not work with DDR pads and games for the PS3.

This was a huge waste of money and time!!!!!

If you want one that works go buy the Pelican PL-6338 converter. The Pelican worked perfectly.

1.0 out of 5 stars DOES NOT WORK WITH PS3!!, April 26, 2007

This review is from: Pelican PS2/PS3 Adapter (Video Game)

I recently purchased this product with the expectation that I would be able to plug in the adapter and instantly use my Guitar Hero guitars. This was not the case. When I got the adapters, the first thing I noticed was the packaging which stated the product was a "PS2 to USB (PC)" adapter. The PS3 has USB ports so I thought this wouldn't be a problem. However, upon plugging the adapter in, I found it wouldn't register the guitars. After further investigation and several minutes of frustration, I noticed a disc included in the packaging marked "Drivers". Obviously this presented a problem as the drivers had to be loaded in order to use the adapters. As I haven't yet found a way to load drivers in to the programming of the PS3, I was unable to use the adapters with the console. Bottom line: Don't buy these adapters for use with you PS3. There are adapters out there that are specifically made for the PS3 and work for that application.

This review is from: Pelican PS2/PS3 Adapter (Video Game)

I do not know what the problem is with people who say it does not work. Let me explain how this product works. You plug in the USB part to the PS3 and then the other part to the PS2 controller. The piece will then flash and you have to press of "PS" button on the piece. It will then light up which player you are on the dongle.

Then, when you want to use it for a ps2 game, the dongle will flash and you have to do the same thing again just like the ps3 controller. It has to tell what controller you are using again, so once you do this, you can play.

It is easy and I do not see what the problem is. People run to write reviews before figuring things out. This is a great product.
