    I am contemplating buying Xbox but I am curious if there is a way to convert the Playstation controller to an Xbox. If not, is there another brand that makes Playstation controllers compatible with the Xbox?


    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    not that i know of but xbox does have smaller version of there controller that most people seem to like more.

    plus the playstation controller doesnt have the "z" button i dont think on the back. so im not sure how that work even if they tried.

    Thank you. The only game that I play is Madden football, in which case, I don't think there is any use for a "z" button. But then again, never having used an Xbox, I wouldn't know.

    The only controller that I have ever seen for Xbox that is significantly different than the standard controller is this one. I've never used it and don't plan on it.

    It is stupid looking. I've heard some people do like it for Halo; guess it's not really practical for Madden though.

    Yea, it's probably a little too extavagant.

    hey dude. there is. i've seen it somewhere. i contemplated buying some so i can covert PS2 DDR pads to work for the Xbox, but I didn't.

    so i really don't know how it would work.

    now where did i see it... i think it was a Virgin megastore. or it could have been on line. but i do believe it exists. unless i dreamt it up.

    i think it would work. because each type of controllers have the same number of buttons. both have the two analogs, the d pad, and four buttons. PS2 has two sets of shoulders to xbox's one. but xbox has the black and white buttons. so if they do in fact make it a one to one correlation they could do it that way.

    but i mean... i wonder if you'd lose some functionality. check it out though... it'd save you some bucks... and IMO... PS2 controllers are better. this despite the fact that i own an xbox.

    The smaller controller to me feels a lot less clumsy then the bigger. Why, I don't know, but it does.

    well it's probably because the big ones weigh like five pounds each.

    Their game play feels sluggish to me after playing with a small controller though. Don't know why.

    it exists for sure... i'm just not sure about the functionality. like if you lose the black and white buttons... then that might be a problems with certain games.
