    Looking to buy a few game pads and playstation > PC converters and as I'm only used to buying stuff online from komplett and play etc who don't have/don't deliver what I'm looking for to ireland, I'm looking for another site.

    Not ebay.

    Any ideas? Tips?

    What kind of pads are you looking for?

    The 360 controller will work out of the box with a PC. The PS3's sixaxis/dualshock 2 will also work if you follow the instructions on this page: http://www.hardcoreware.net/how-to-use-ps3-controller-vista/

    The prices for the controllers shouldn't really vary from shop to shop, though I'd imagine GameStop will have plenty of both in second-hand if you're looking to save a few quid.

    I actually use a ps3 pad on my pc myself. The 360 d-pad is horrible so that's a no.

    Its for my m8 actually , the PS style d-pad gives him blisters on his thumb LOL so a PC pad with a good d-pad really. Doesn't matter about sticks on the pad or anything, its purely for street fighter.

    The converter is for me however so as to use my old PS1 pads too.

    You want a great fighting pad for PS3/PC?
    Get a pair of these!!

    Won't work with PS2, but you won't care after you're used to them.

    P.S.: This is the first time I've found that bootleg stuff can be goooooood

    Anyone know if they are selling those anywhere in town?

    Cunny I got one of those from Argos about 6 months ago. I don't know if they still sell them but it was fairly poor quality as it stopped working after about 3 weeks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Cunny-Funt


    ah balls.

    What was it like while you used it? In what way did it stop working?


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,707 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    CF, just get a pair of Saturn pads.
    Trust eBay, just this once.
    You'll regret it if you don't.
    They are just THAT good for SF!

    Yeah, Amazon do take credit cards. If i was you, I would be arsed and create a paypal, much safer to pay with paypal for shopping online.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Cunny-Funt


    Well whenever I get my own credit card I probably will.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,707 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    3V cards FTW :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    Cunny: It was actually quite good, definitely better than the PS2 controller. The buttons just started becoming very unresponsive, I think I ****ed the cable up by bending it too much.

    Play.com have them in stock though I'm not sure if they ship controllers to Ireland.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Cunny-Funt


    They don't but cheers for the feedback on the controller.
