Cronus Xtreme NEW

I have used a multitude of third-party products over the years that offer the ability to take your gaming console beyond it's ordinary capabilities. Most of them work, but not without a degree of painful tinkering. This works out of the box. Literally, I plugged it in to my PS3, plugged the XBOX360 wireless adaptor into the Cronus Xtreme, which is required to use a wireless XBOX360 controller with a PS3 (also bought from this seller for £8.95). I switched on my XBOX360 wireless controller and it worked. Simple. The only thing it cannot do is switch on the PS3, you need to do that on the PS3 or using a PS3 controller - this is likely a hardware restriction and not an inconvenience anyway. Everything else works like clockwork, to the extent that I am only using the XBOX360 controller now, which I have always preferred to the PS3 one.This review is limited to the out-of-the-box capability. I have not tried any of the more advanced capabilities, reprogramming the controller, which I expect work but may or may not be as easy. I will be trying this soon, so will update my review then. If all you want is the above capability, you may want to opt for the cheaper Cronus device - I couldn't resist having the extra flexibility but may get a Cronus device too so I can use two XBOX360 controllers!I have not tried using the PS3 controller on an XBOX360, and am unlikely to.Recommended.

very good product, works very well... use your Xbox 360 pad on your PS3 and your PS3 pad on your 360...but be aware that...original manufacturer (cronusdevice dot com) website was down for over a month, (due to supposed server problems) this made it so you couldn't get firmware updates or access your mods packs for this device while the site was down...what was amazing was not only were the servers were down they didn't answer their telephones or reply to emails either and also didn't post any info to their facebook page, and didn't send out any orders... all of which don't rely on a server...
