Misleading
This product quite simply did not work at all with the 80 gig PS3. I bought this to play GH and RB from PS2. It is misleading that it called PS2 to PS3 adapter because it's simply not the case. Not even the PS2 controllers would work with the adapter. Maybe it's me but why else would this product be made. Hopefully I can find an adapter that works. Rating:

A simple solution that serves its purpose
For me, this product serves its purpose almost flawlessly. I bought this because my Rock Band guitar controller for PS3 was starting to malfunction. I was past the 60-day warranty and as a result could not send it in to EA to get it fixed. I ordered this adapater, and for what I wanted it to do, it works. It's easy to set up, just plug in your PS2 guitar controller (in my case a black Gibson SG) into the slot, flip the switch on the adapter over to RB, and play! The notes register perfectly and it felt like my SG controller was the controller that came with the game to begin with. However there is a drawback you need to take into consideration before you decide to buy this, Deploying Overdrive (Star Power) is a little finnicky, to say the least. If you're not playing a note at the time or if you're holding a long note, you can tilt the guitar as normal and Overdrive will be deployed as usual. However, you can't tilt to activate Overdrive while playing notes, it just will not work. On top of that, using select to activate it will disable your Green and Orange fret buttons, messing up your streak. You'll either have to deploy it when there are no notes or a held note, or otherwise sacrifice a few notes. However this is the only negative thing I've experienced with it. Overall a good product with minimal drawbacks. Rating:

Definately not for DDR
I'm not sure about how this device functions for Guitar Hero and Rock Band, as I bought it specifically for 2 Red Octane DDR pads since the Pelican Adapter is no longer being sold. I tried all three settings, and while it does work for DDR on the GP (regular gameplay) mode, it has an obvious and noticeable lag. I even used this adapter to hook to my PC for Stepmania, and it also had an obvious lag, which rendered it useless for me. So far I've found no working adapter for DDR pads on the PS3 except for the Pelican brand adapter, which can't be found anywhere, not even on Ebay. I think I'm just going to buy a PS2 in addition to my PS3, since that seems to be the only real fix to my problem. :( Rating:

A Bit Disappointed
I was under the mistaken impression that I would be able to use this adapter to play my GH, GH2, and GH80's by using my PS2 GH guitar controller on my PS3...errrr...WRONG! Try as I might, it doesn't work that way.
Now, if you want to use your old PS2 guitar controller on your PS3 to play GH3...ding! YOU WIN! Works great for that! Can't complain there, except that I have some very nice and lovely wireless guitar controllers that work just fine! So, if only I'd have read the fine print, I suppose, that's the moral to the story.

It works!
It's really simple: this adapter works flawlessly. I have been able to use my PS/2 guitars with PS/3 Rock Band without any glitches or compromises. |
