i have a lot of ps2 accessories and was wondering since the newer ps3's only come with 2 usb connections ,can i use a usb splitter or hub and connect multiple ps2 controllers? of course only with multiple ps2 to usb adapters since i read that a ps2 multitap will only recognize one of the multitap ports on the ps3.
so instead of using a multitap will a usb splitter work to connect more than 2 ps2 controller on the ps3. will the ps3 be able to read each controller separate?

for example a 4 port usb hub with 4 ps2 controllers/accessories hooked up into one of the ps3's port

yes you can use the usb multiplier on the ps3, i've been using it but then when you use a usb to ps2 converter some button mapping will be different, you can use up to 7 joypads either dualshock 2 or 3.
