USB adapter

Post by lost_within »

So...I now have the 15th anniversary stick for the ps2/xbox....I know that yobo makes an adapter to use with the ps3, but...sadly, play n trade is sold out until next week *tuesday or so*. Does anyone else know where to pick up the usb adapter you need to run the ps2 controller port on the ps3 usb? Id prefer instore pickup kinda thing vs shipping sense PnT will have them in a couple days, I just dont want to wait lol.

Ive tried walmart, target, and best buy. Gamestop told me quote "We dont sell that...thats a mod..." SO...anyone have any ideas on where to go next?

We do too sell them at GS, but they're getting hard to find.

I picked up the really nice Pelican one in '07 when they were still relatively easy to find, so just try asking a different employee, manager, or store.

Its the first EVER stick I have felt, right out the box, that actually FEELS like a nice heavy stick. Buttons, stick, and all feel great. Now...someone have any idea on what stores to try for those damn adapters?

Any PS2 to USB adaptor will work. Just to let you know. It doesn't have to be a PS3 specific one.

I've had one since the PS3 was but a pipe dream and it works fine on the PS3.

Thats the thing though, trying to find one now is damn near impossible as far as in store. The one i found does even have a company name on it. Im going to buy a 2nd one to use the arcade stick on my pc...i dont want to have to keep plugging and unplugging a usb. If you saw how the computer was setup youd understand lol.

What I was most happy about though...I dont notice ANY lag...maybe cause its not a DDR or GH game im using it for, works for me though :D
