Retro-Con PS2 Controllers $5 Each



I can't really vouch for these controllers, but BB has the Mad Catz Retro-Con controllers for $5 on both their web site and in store. It got pretty good reviews when it came out (IGN Review ). It's probably not the ideal controller, but could be used as an extra. It might be useful for playing Katamari Damachi, Ape Escape 2 or other games that are dual-stick friendly. And of course, BB allows you to return a controller you don't like within 14 days (and be branded a Devil, of course). Anyway, I ordered one with in-store pick up and will try it out.


Thanks to Cheap Ass Gamer for the original deal

Just picked one up today. I think I'll try it out with some Megaman, Street Fighter and Midway Arcade games.

I just tried it out and it is quite an impressive controller. I'm using mine on my xbox (with xjoybox adapter) and it controls really well and doesn't have a cheap feel to it.

Where can you pick one of those up?
Sounds like a cool adapter!
