Is it possible (w/o getting any special software) to use an Xbox 360 controller for the PS3? If so how?

I purchased a 360 Styled Controller from GameStop for about $35.00 (Wireless) and while it works fine please note the following: They Do NOT Support Sixaxis (in any game), they must have a USB Dongle plugged in to operate, they do not sync to the PS3 Direct so you must power up using the button on the PS3 and last but not least they only get about (9) hours of charge vs. the 30 Plus with the normal PS3 Controller.So while there are others options out there, note that NONE of them will completely replace the out of box controller.

go to your local Walmart or Target. They might have a 360 style controller for the ps3 might cost you a bit though. maybe 30 or 40 bucks.

Yes, it works on any headset you can connect to a Xbox controller. I'm not sure if ps3 has the same connection as Xbox tho

I don't believe so, as it was only released on PC. The controls are super funky, so I'm not sure how it could be mapped to a 360 controller...

You actually don't need an adapter, install a program called Motion Joy, it should be the first result when you search for ps3 controller drivers. Once you have the program load it up and it should see you have a ps3 stick in and you'll be able to play

Yes I have. and it need a little of work. You must download the XBOX 360 controller driver, then install the logitech software. You must do it in that order. Also you may have to switch thru USB ports untill u find on that detect it. see my review for more info.

This controller will work with any game that doesnt require motion function(like the original six axis ps3 controller is capable of) so games like Killzone 2 are going to be unplayable in sections(arming bombs and whatnot)GTAV is good to go, have fun

I have only ever used it with my pc and ps4. The best advice I can offer for the ps3 is to look at the official support. Hope it helps.http://support.turtlebeach.com/entry/830517337/

I haven't but when you conect this with directX my games and emulators automatically recognized my DualShock 3 as a Xbox360 controller, so the custom configurations for the xBox 360controller that i had automatically worked.If steam supports X360 controller this gives you one.

I'm using an Xbox 360 controller and it works perfectly, no hassle. Just plug in and that's it.

The best thing to use is an xbox 360 controller like i did. Just make you use a controller that support windows. (It must have a bluetooth reciver. It includes with the controller)

I have seen people use xbox controllers on the PC. They port over nicely and are probably the best controllers to use if you have a 360 already.

I bought myself a Microsoft Xbox wireless receiver for an xbox controller and use it on my laptop. It works perfectly:) the receiver has a USB that you can just plug it in to your PC and it works for all xbox controller. I don't know about ps3 controllers tho sorry.

Yes, I had no problem using it connect a PS3 controller to my PC. You will need a third party controller driver like MotioninJoy to configure the connection. Hope this answered your question!

I am having the exact same issue. I paid the extra money so I would have an authentic Xbox 360 controller with the dual usage option. It works great for my PC games. ( Skyrim in particular) however it was also suppose to be the second controller from my Xbox for when guests come over. I did push the button ))) to try and allocate it to the xbox but it just WILL NOT recognize it. I also feel like an idiot because I bought it months ago but only recently went to use the controller with the xbox and realized it doesn't work. I have a basic 4gig xbox 360 not a slim.

Wireless. Playstation doesn't make wired controllers for the ps3 or ps4.They are blutooth so they have far better range than other console controllers.
