Still hate the size of the Xbox Controller?

Personally, I like the Xbox controller but here's something for all you who think the PS2 controller is better. Also, you can save money on controllers if you already have a PS2. Check it out, curious if anyone has this. It looks interesting...

I had one, they work great and I would recommend the item....however

AVOID BUYRITE GAMES!!! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM, THEY ARE BY FAR THE WORST ON-LINE GAMING SHOP EVER. I cannot even begin to list the ways they screw you, from lack of stock, to charging you for items they never send, to ZERO customer service (you have to call long-distance and stay on hold 5-10 minutes to get ANY service at all), to the never fullfilled "lowest price guarantee" to the outrageous shipping.

These are available everyplace: levelsix.com, therage.com, ebay sellers have them for $15 BIN and many other places. AVOID BUYRITE LIKE PLAGUE!!

I believe EBGames has this item as well. It's called the X-Connector, correct?

Maybe I'm just a purist, but using PS2 controllers on an XBox (and vice-versa) seems...wrong.

You're welcome! Thanks for visiting Game2Extreme! Congratulations again...and yes, it sounds like you should try the lotto. Just don't forget about us little people when you win the millions.

These things are cool! I'll second levelsix.com, I got one so I can use my PSX controller on my DC and it works wonders for Soul calibur and MVC2! I'm planning on getting one for the GC when soul calibur 2 comes out. There's 2 different ones for the X-Box at levelsix, both are cheaper in price than buyright, and on one you can even use your memory card. From experience (for the DC ones anyway) they work perfectly, no flaws, even the analog pads and rumble features work. Pretty surprising though, I expected it to work differently for some reason, but you just plug it in and its works just like another controller.
