I'm getting an xbox 360 soon and want to know if there's an adapter to hook a PS2 controller to it.

A converter is a lot of money just to use a PS2 controller. If you're new to the 360 and have always used PS1 PS2 & PS3 controllers, I can see why you want to stay with Sony's controller. But once you use the 360's controller, you'll see that it's excellent. It's only flaw is the D-Pad, but that's not used extensively in games anymore. The analog stick is not "floaty" like the PS1&2&3 analog, AND the left stick located in a more natural spot. Give it a serious try before spending 60 - 75 bucks to use an outdated controller.

eebeejay, I've tried the xbox controller on a friend's console. And I hate it! It's not comfortable at all. The PS2 controler is FAR MORE comfortable and versatile than the xbox one. Everyone swears by this, and so do I.

I have to agree with eebeejay on this one. I was a PS fan for years now and still am as I have a ps3. I never use to play xbox (basically I was antixbox lol) until I got one a few months ago and after using the controller for a couple of days it does feel pretty natural in your hand, because I felt the same way you did. So I don't think the converter is worth it.

Lol, the xbox 360 controller was designed to fit the shape of your hands, once you get use to it it is probably the most comfortable gaming controller. It is only uncomfortable for people with really small hands.

i gotta agree with talk2it, the controller just seems a bit bulky and odd configuration, it fits the hand yes but the joystick on the left is just in an odd spot, did MS think that ur left thumb was on a different part of your hand then your right one, both your thumbs are down towards the controller, thats just my opinion, i got friends that feel wierd picking up a PS controller.

Trust me, the PS2 controller is not more comfortable, it's just that it's the controller you're used to using. Once you get your 360, play it as is for a few days. You'll be glad you did. You're already buying the system, so TRY it's controller. Seriously, give it a chance. You'll see it very differently than play on your friend's console. Buy Halo 3 (cheap) and play the hell out of it. Trust me, you'll be searching for a way to use the 360 controller on your PS2/3. It happens all the time.

Wrong!!!! If anything, Microsoft's right stick, and both of Sony's sticks are in an unnatural place. Those three sticks point your thumb inwards (unnatural).
More natural feel (thumb pointing upward):
Xbox 360 left stick.
Xbox left stick.
Wii Nunchuck stick.
Gamecube left stick.
N64 analog stick.
The problem is that whatever console a person supports, they "accept" it's "flawed" controller along with it, making competitor's controllers seem "foreign" in design.
This is only my opinion, which is based on 103% fact of all my other opinions, which happen to be factual, (in my mind).

This is correct. Your thumbs don't normally point inwards.

Do all the buttons on the PS2 controller work in sync with an xbox game using the adapter? Will all the PS3 buttons function the same way as the xbox buttons?

No, all of the adapters are broken. Don't use them.
Take five minutes to get used to the 360 controller and you will see how vastly superior it is.

Altight, this isn't a discussion about the superiority of one controller over the other. Anyway, you mentioned that all adapters are broken. If this is the case, then why are people buying them and aren't complaining about them? I need to know if these adapters allow a PS3 controller to mimic an xbox controller. Will I be able to move around in an xbox game with the use of all buttons?

Nobody is dumb enough to buy an adapter to let them use a PS2 controller on a 360 that's why. Considering the adapter alone is the cost of a controller + charging kit

talk2it, you came here looking for advice, and I gave you practically the best advice possible, which is:
When you get your 360, give the stock controller a LEGITIMATE chance, before you blow $70+ on something that you don't need.
If you still want an adapter after that, go to this website:

Then what else are the adapters for PS2 controllers made for? Why are people using them to play PS2 controllers on their xbox?

Agreed, talk2it is obviously to arrogant to accept the superiority of the xbox controller. There is no use anybody trying to change his mind, it's his own money he is wasting.
