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.

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.

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.

I bought my PS3 after breaking my PS2 since it was advertised as "back compatible" and such, I bought 3 of this adapters so that I can use my old PS2 controllers too, turns out my old PS2 controllers works with certain games, such as Virtual Tennis 3, no problem there playing 4 people doubles. I also have Virtual Fighters 5, which this adapter does NOT work correctly, the punch/kick/block buttons work but the direction pad is not responding at all. I tried to play some of my old PS2 games and this adapter will NOT work with any of those, including DDR and Guitar Hero. Overall it's not worth the money, I wish I hadn't bought all 3 at the same time, would've saved me about $15.

This adapter works great with my PS2 controllers and my guitar with guitar hero 1. I have had no problems with this adapter. Just follow the instructions and it will work great.

We had one of these adapters anyway and just bought Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock yesterday. The adapter does not work with this game. The PS button brings up the console screen, but no scrolling is possible and it takes control away from any other guitar connected. If you can actually get it into gameplay, the symptoms are similar to those experienced with other Guitar Hero games (no star power deployment using tilt, etc.). DON'T BUY THIS if you want to play Guitar Hero on PS3; suck it up and get the new wireless guitar(s) made for the system.

The description blatantly points out that this converter will not work for Red Octane's Guitar Hero games.

This product worked as expected I plugged it into the ps3 and was able to hook up my guitar hero controllers from ps2 and play guitar hero I and II with no issues.
Works great!

This is NOT the lagless Pelican converter... so to people expecting lagless control beware! It is an unknown china brand

ps2 to ps3 adapter didn't work on guitar hero 3 all the way after song starts once i hit yellow note it would freeze.notes lit up and was able to play a few notes then freezes.had to use both ps3 controller to start game and then guitar /gh3 game. i hope it would of work disapointed it did not.ps2 controller worked fine.not worth the time and headache to get it to start.
