Why...oh WHY didn't this exist at least two years ago?

http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/07/cronus-adapter-lets-you-play-xbox-360-with-a-ps3-controller-and/

If I had one of these...I would have bought a LOT more fighting games for the Xbox 360.
Using a proper Dual Shock 3 controller on the 360 for fighting games would kick SO much @$$ (pun intended

)

As an owner of both systems...I think I want one... but honestly, they move too late with this.

A few words why the Cronus is better than de XCM (and similar) because, in only one device, it can do what all the features of these other devices, and more as:

- Cronus is the only one with works with PS3 controllers in wireless mode

- The only with works with Wiimote.

- Cronus is the only one with have a PC interface which can:

* Allow use the Keyboard and Mouse of a PC (laptop) to play on consoles.

* And able us to make other applications like:

- to play with aid of command voice for deficient people (one handled, etc...)

- to use any kind of input device on PC to play on consoles (wheel, flight joysticks, etc ..)

- computer vision applications to play with movements (like kinect).

- and we can think and more applications, there is no limit in what we can do.

- Multi-plataform, so it can be used with PS3, XBox360 and PC.

- Compatible with multiple controllers (any controller that uses the same protocol used on XBox360, PS3 and Wii); this includes almost all licensed controllers for XBox, some licensed PS3 controllers and most all third-party PS3 controllers.

- Unfortunately we took out our biggest differential, that was the programing feature; but we can still offer:

* Button remapping

* Sensitivity adjustments (acceleration, deadzone, etc..)

* Use the PS3 and Wiimote accelerometer to play on games (or consoles) that do not support this feature.

- The controllers that no longer work on PS3 (after the PS3 update 3.XX) can work again with Cronus (Eg: FragFX v1)

Well products that allowed the PS3 controllers to work on the XBOX 360 have been in existence for years.

So if you wanted to play fighting games on your 360 with one of those, you didn't have to wait on this. lol

I'm still pining for a xim 3 (just because I'm an adapter aficionado). Its so bloody expensive.

The PC offers such a vastly superior fps experience as is compared to all the other keyboard/mouse adapters I've tried on the consoles.

Wonder if the Cronus will be able to match the xim 360 in fidelity? Seeing that it supposedly supports keyboard and mouse input as well.

*edit*

Well thanks to you arc, I just checked the Xim website and apparently they have a new product called the "Xim Edge" that works on both PS3 and 360 and costs considerably less than the old Xim 3 adapter.
