5 out of 5 stars Very Pleased!   December 12, 2008
Lori K. (Round Rock, TX United States)
After reading all of the reviews & doing my homework to see if our PS3 would PLAY DDRX, I decided to move forward with the purchase! The converter works PERFECTLY! NO problems at all!! Before purchasing, go on the playstation web site to see if your PS3 is compatible.


5 out of 5 stars PERFECT!...for use on the PS3 using Hori's Real Arcade Pro.2!   December 6, 2008

When Capcom released Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix as a downloadable game for the PS3, I was faced with the problem of having to purchase a new PS3 arcade fighting stick or use the standard PS3 controller. Then I saw this adapter/converter on Amazon.com that looked like a gimmick item being sold on TV by "Billy Mays" and I figured I could use it with the HRAP2 (Hori's Real Arcade Pro.2 ) for the PS2 that I already owned. Fortunately, I figured correctly as this setup on my PS3 works great! Bear in mind that I only use it to play S.F. (& maybe Tekken?) as I can't use the PS button on a regular PS3 controller (meh...). This converter does what it claims to very well. I can't speak for other PS2 controllers like guitars & etc., but for Hori's fighting sticks it's an "Easy Operation". No lag in button input and the turbo feature works fine using an HRAP2. Forget about using slow-motion but as I said, this converter works fine on the PS3 playing S.F. II T HD Remix, on or off line. Hope this helps. SONIC BOOM!


2 out of 5 stars "Works" is a loose term   September 20, 2008

This product only works depending your definition of "works". I purchased it soley to play Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revelution on the PS3, without having to ru-purchase everything of course. The guitars sort-of worked. The strum bar was backwards (down was up and up was down, but this is only really a problem on the menu screens) and the whammy bar doesn't work at all, which it a let down. Also, the converter does allow the mats for DDR to play on the PS3, but the force you have to press the pad to register is ridiculous. I did try the pads on a PS2 I had in the other room, not in the main entertainment area, and they worked fine, so it wasn't the pads. What is really annoying about this product is the shipping cost. Two of them fit inside a regular shipment envelope, you can't convince me it takes over $14 in shipping costs for that. Again, the product is better than nothing I suppose, but it does make me want to bite the bullet and find another input to hook up the PS2 right next to the PS3.


5 out of 5 stars Dragon Plus Convertor   September 5, 2008

I cannot claim that this converter works for dance pads etc, since I only bought it to have access to my old Namco PS1 stick and a digital Hori controller so I could use them to play fighting games like Street Fighter 3, Soul Calibur 4 and so on. The Dragon Plus converter does a good job in this respect. No discernible input lag means I have no complaints.


4 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!!!!   June 9, 2008

If you have a PS3 and you probably do if you're reading this review GET THIS ITEM NOW!!!!! This is a great converter especially if you want to play fighting games on your PS3 both 2D and 3D Street fighter Alpha Anthology no problem, Tekken 5 DRO no problem if I have one complaint it is that the converter has no home button but all in all a great item
