I have a Logitech Dual-Action Gamepad that I absolutely love, and it's very similar to the Sony Dual-Shock controller. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...CONTENTID=6951

Check out EBgames.com or one of their retail stores. They usually have that sort of thing, be it the adapter, or the actual controller.

They do, I have a Nyko Air-Flo. It's exactly like the PS2 version of the Nyko Air-Flo except it doesnt vibrate or have pressure sensitivity.

Here is the adapter from Lik-sang.com. They are international and have a very good reputation in the import world. Not a bad price, though I have no idea what shipping charges are.

Question

This is a long shot, but can anyone give me a site for an australian retailer or a site that ships to australia for an adapter that allows me to use an xbox controler on my pc?

P.S ive had a good look around and googled it but have come up with no results.

my friend got a playstation-to-usb adapter at Radioshack that he uses for pc games and it works pretty good. Not sure how much he payed for it though.
