lol... I\'ve been using my psx controller on my pc for ages. I pulled apart a old PSX and i made a converter for my pc so i can use my PSX mem cards and controllers on my pc. You can even get DRIVERS for it off the net.

Now sony are selling this idea. lol quite funny.

Do you have instructions?  Please...

wow! this is cool. one of the main reasons im not to interested in computer games is the fact that i have to use the keyboard or go out and but a $50 pc contoller.

How does it work with FPS?  Is the control tight, or is it better using the keyboard.

This is cool info, playing PC games with a Playstation controller.

Forget about using it for FPSers.  It\'s better to use a mouse and keyboard.  I felt like I was constantly fighting the controls in Red Faction, so now I\'m sure I won\'t buy another PS2 FPS in the near future. (Until they allow the use of a USB mouse)

I think this adapter would be awesome though for driving games and other odd things like NBA Live.  It would be really nice to use the PS2 controller for Interstate \'82 and Carmageddon.  Anyone here play those?  Interstate \'82 is REALLY GOOD.

When it comes to FPS\'s NOTHING beats a mouse/keyboard combo, nothing.
