SR don't stock anything like this as far as I can tell, so hopefully they won't mind this...

http://www.lik-sang.com/

Based in Hong Kong, this company sells adapters that let you use controllers from any machine on any other.

FatButcher (my mate) has ordered from them, and the service seems reliable and fast, and the adapters are good quality and (more importantly) work well.

But I don't think he posted the URL here.

So... no more arguing over which machine has the best controller, because now it REALLY doesn't matter! :-)

They also sell some stuff of dubious legality (nothing you can't get here inthe UK, mind), but I don't condone these items, and of course you aren't interested in them and would never think of purchasing any of it in a million years. The sole point of interest is the control adapters.

Countdown to message deletion begins...

Probably when Microsoft drop the price by about £150.

*covers face with hands waiting for rain of abuse*

But seriously, I'd only buy an X-Box for DOA3, which I'm not too hot on, and Halo

Not so much a light as a huge great luminous green X! :-)

Seriously - I've nothing against the machine. It just doesn't have anything special in the software department at the moment.

It's not crap - just disappointing so far. It's left me unfulfilled, that's all. I'm sure it will pick up, I just want to know when.

I'm desperate to pay a number of PS2 games, and several 'cube games. But so far, that's not the case with Xbox - even with the E3 announcements, there's genuinely nothing that appeals. Last Ninja is just one game, because I loved the originals. I think it's also coming to PS2, but I think Xbox will have it first - so I'll buy it.

I sell them and XBox doesn't really have anything special on the console bar Halo, so still 'no'.

Its funny when people come into the shop and I overhear them saying its crap.

Makes me smile.

Ah, okay then. {:)

Really though, I can't afford an X-Box, and don't plan on getting one for a while yet. There's still quite a few PS2 games I like the look of, so don't worry Mr Turbo.

Mesa Panasonic Q is on its way.

We needed a new DVD player... and I couldn't wait any longer.. that is on way from Japan and a Action Replay is on order as well.

Nice. :) I want to be able to use my 64 controllers on the Cube.

o.O

I'd have to agree with Wookiee really. Halo was certainly a good game, but not as special as Microsoft make it out to be. Just a very good FPS, not worth a console me thinks.

Silly Wookiee. ;)

Still though, some of those X-Box games do look pretty good. Maybe when the price goes down even more...

You know, Game sells a PS2 - GC controller converter, so you can use PS2 controllers on your GC. It's £10.

Quite cool
