The xbox controller uses usb for charging only. The ps3 does have communication through its usb

I've seen the ps3 joypad being used at rage b4. Plus pc format even had an artical on using it so I know it can be done. I do not want to go out and spend money on a controller for my pc if I have a controller that works perfectly but just needs drivers.

But why :?: Xbox360 controllers work with no haxx0ring and are just as functional Thanks. I already have 2 xbox controllers but both came with my xbox, so they did not come with the usb wireless adapter needed to use them on pc. Thus I need to buy another xbox joypad to get the wireless adapter (th...

Hi. A few issues back of pc format there was an artical about various joypads available for pc. It mentioned using a ps3 controller and mentioned which software to use.

O ya, does webafica have newsgroup servers? I used to dl off of the Mweb newsgroups but I've now been blocked from them

@OP : Anyway, so you're looking for decent ADSL :) With a budget of R300 I'd recommend you have a look at our Home Connect packages. http://www.webafrica.co.za/home/adsl/connect/ Take a look at the 25GB for R239.

Well I don't really download alot but I do use my internet alot. I did have a capped Neotel account but always went over my cap which costed me a fortune. I'm interested in what pings do ppl get with their uncapped lines. I was happy with mweb until this month

Hey ppl. I'm currently on Mweb uncapped 1meg. I've been getting really bad pings at night for the last month. I used to get a ping to jhb on speedtest.net of about 25ms all the time. Now I get this ping from 9am until 5pm, after which it increases to over 400ms (I've noted it to be over 580ms at cer...
