The best converter out there on PS3. Allows you to play not only your PS3 games but your PS2/PS1 games as well using PS2/PS1 controllers/arcade sticks.

This is obviously a pricing error as it retails for $14.99, but who knows B&N/GameStop may honor it...

I have a short review up on www.sdtekken.com ...

I found out about that over the weekend and the 3 I bought arrived today; they're the real deal and they're slick. Grab it before they change.

Damn. I had to pick up a third one with that sweat deal. Unfortunately, I just received two from EBGames in the mail today; I paid $41.00 with over night shipping. I wish that I would've know about this earlier...

Hah, that's wicked. I'll bet they correct it within the week so anyone interested should get on top of this right away like your mom on wangs. I'm pretty sure they will honour it. Word is bond!
Quick tip for impatient Canadians (in case you miss out on the 4.99 awesomeness)
EB stores won't get 'em in until June 4th, and they won't get more than a few per location. They will be 19.99 apiece, plus taxes. I don't think any other retailers will carry them.
Even with our butt-ass exchange rate and the unbelievably atrocious shipping, ordering a pair from the US EB website will only cost $3 more than getting them in-store, and you'll get them in a week.

The fulfillment of the Barnes & Noble adapters is from Gamestop (EB). While you can score Air Miles via yourshops, the shipping to Canada is 49.99 USD (I ended up abandoning my cart). That's crazy. And it's UPS, which means they will bleed you on brokerage charges and service charges on the fees (even though they own the brokerage house -- LAME!) I hope someone else in the US starts selling these adapters.

If anyone wants to order any of these from me when I move to Nashville (overseas orders) I can accomodate you.

In other news, I went to a Barnes & Noble that unfortunately did not have a videogame section. Went to the nearby Ebgames and found out that they do not price match their own parent company.
I ended up buying the last two Pelican converters for regular price, oh well, still worth it. :tup:
Now I'm going to wait for the north of the border release and pick up another two. =)

These lag on pc big time. On PS3 I can't notice, maybe its me.

? I havent experienced that. Are you using an analog PCB of some sort with it? The converter only sends information to the PC when the status changes, so with analogs it is sending info as fast as possible (since the analog sticks fluctuate a very little amount all of the time) while a digital PCB only updates on direction and button changes.

ok, LAG on PS3 for MVC2 , anyone know? That's all I wanna know. And no one seems to know the answer. Someone who plays MVC2, at a level where they know 1 frame difference and why it's important (e.g. Sentinel unfly infinite)

Well we're pretty sure there won't be any lag, but no one knows the definite answer because the only console port of MvC2 that anyone plays is the Dreamcast one.

I used a ps one hacked pcb w/out analog sticks and a HRAP2, I noticed lag with both of these on MAME Alpha 3 but not PS3 Alpha 3.
