Save Money with Playstation 2 to Playstation 3 Adapters

This entry was posted by Matt Kendrick on Sunday, 4 April, 2010 at

This weekend, our friends rented the game Little Big Planet for the Playstation 3. It was a blast. I’m usually not real big into platform games, but I loved it! The game supports up to four players playing on 3 different platform planes all at once. Your characters are all little sack-boys that can be customized. We had hours of fun playing through most of the levels. However our friends only had two controllers. There were four of us. So ya get the picture.

So why not buy two more controllers? Well years ago this would have my answer to this problem. However Sony has put premium on it’s PS3 controllers. Third party controllers arn’t near as nice or reliable. At least not the ones within our budget. Solution? PS2 to PS3 converters! We found some adapters that allow you to use your old PS2 controllers on your PS3. For less than half the cost of a new controller, we could use 2 old PS2 controllers. Now this may not be the best solution for every case. There are some slight functional differences between the PS2 and PS3 controllers.

For one the middle PS button is missing on the PS2 controllers. This is not an issue for 3rd and 4th players most of the time anyways. The triggers are slightly different as well. But again it depends on needs of the player and which game you’re playing. For games like Little Big Planet this is the perfect solution to add two more players to the game without breaking the bank. Not to mention Little Big Planet Game of the Year Edition
is available half off the original price! There ya go, we’ve saved ya money again!
