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...

For Halo. Which was a disappointment. So Halo 2 is likely to be a no-no.

Blinx, Project Ego, Unreal Championship, Tork, 007, Toejam, B&W, Core, Crazy Taxi, Vultures, Midtown, Quantum don't interest me.

Panzer Dragoon and Star Wars are possibles.

Vexx is coming to PS2 - probably first.

I don't think I have been quick to put it down. I've had is since launch, and it still offers little. Until that changes, I won't be happy with it.

Well, if none of those games interest you, I'd sell the bloody thing then.

I can't understand why you bought one if the first place if you don't like any of the games...

Seen 'em... can't say I was overly impressed.

Last Ninja looks okay.

More looking forward to Aliens: Colonial Marines, TOCA, POW, The Getaway, TR:AoD and others.

It was also reported that Xbox had the best launch line-up and several other things, too - all of which I disagree with. But hey, maybe one day there'll be reason to kick the old dustcatcher back into life. :-)

It's now FIVE weeks since my Xbox was switched on. I should start keeping a calendar! :-D

LOL! X-box pad with a GameCube console!
That's be the first console that's actually smaller than the pad!#

Still, a great piece of kit though! :)

Wookiee, have you seen any of the titles on display for the Xbox at E3? It has been reported in most of the gaming press (not just Xbox mags) that Microsoft had the strongest lineup of titles for the next year.

Just look at games like Blinx, Project Ego, Panzer Dragoon, Unreal Championship, Tork, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Halo 2, PGR 2, 007: Nightfire, Toejam & Earl III, B&W :Next Gen, Core, Crazy Taxi 3, Vultures, Midtown Madness 3, Quantum Redshift, Vexx.

Most of those are Xbox exclusive (well, in the console market anyway), and most of them are out before the end of the year.

Check out http://www.planetxbox.com/features/e3_2002 for the full E3 lowdown, and don't be so quick to put the Xbox down.

PlayStation has had that function since the original Dual Shock on PSone, matey!

Ah, but the Xbox pad has a button where you push down on the analogue sticks.
How is the PS2/Gamecube controller to do that?
