It's not fanboyism. I literally cannot play MK9 on Xbox.

Me mentioning the enemies thing... that was a joke.

I have tried to use Xbox D-pad. I cannot dash properly. And i've already put hours of time into PS3 remote to try to change to stick. I really REALLY do not feel like re-learning all my combos. So I'm gonna ps3 it up only... and only go to offline ps3 tournaments.

you are not forced into using a standard dpad or a stick, I think you are speaking of hurt

No idea what you are talking about(With the hurt comment). That D-pad doesn't look too much better.

I'd want to try it... with someone else who bought it, than to buy it and find out I hate it just as much.

or get an adapter so you can use a PS3 controller:

I have no problems with the 360 controller whatsoever. Anyone who complains about the Dpad just doesn't know how to use a controller without mashing it.

I'm use to rolling my fingers on Ps3. I'm not going to re-learn and spend a couple more months to re-get consistently what I already got.

How does one mod a PS3 controller to work for Xbox?


EDIT: one more thing. the placement of the D-pad on Xbox is lower so My thumb is at a different angle than normal. So when i'm prepared to so some sort of back dash. I'll do a back jump instead. because of how my thumbs are use to PS3.

forgot to mention the converter you can also convert a ps2 controller

and that pad I posted has way different d-pads, they are their own buttons with the size advantage trust me it works

Anyone know how to "in baby terms" to convert a PS3 to play on Xbox?

If the D-pad was swapped with where the joystick is... I'd probably be alright. but it's down at some weird angle. It'll probably still be awkward. like I said I want to try it before i'd buy it because I have high doubts.
 
Check out eBay or something. They should have adapters.

Props to Newegg for this tourney. Too bad everything only ever happens in America. GL to the TRMKers.
