Request: Play and Charge/Quick Charge support

[ahbaker]

Just submitting a request to work on implementing this into the next release. Microsoft doesn't seem to support the wired controller anymore. Even the Arcade is bundled with a wireless controller.

So the upfront cost of the battle adapter for most jumps from about $80 to $120, because they have to buy a new controller. At least, that's my case and it's a bad selling point to pay $100 more, when there are $20-50 aftermarket controllers mapped in design like the 360 controller. And they're distributed nationwide.

Most 360 owners I know, have one of the following accessories already, because it's more cost effective than batteries.

theres no way they can make it work with the play n charge kit

that cable does NOT send any controller signals, it sends power only to the controller, the controller still acts on its wireless functions.

and as you probably know, MS wireless signal is locked, thats why there is no wireless accessories (controllers) on the 360.

you should be glad these guys even made this adapter. most ps3 fanboys just talk crap about 360, so no one even dares making a 360 pad on the ps3.

Amazon.com: PS3 Shadow Wireless Controller with...

That's two in the past year. The more companies realize people with bigger hands hate the PS3 controller... or are used to "R2" for shooting, the more these controllers will be produced. Excuse me for trying to help the independent seller.

help them by buying there product, so they can continue business.

not complaining, and not buying there stuff, meaning they get no profit, meaning they get no funds for creating new products.

pretty simple stuff isnt it

and like i said before, MS locked there wireless signal for controllers, until they change that, theres no way the playncharge kit works.


if you really dont want to spend that much money, then buy those controllers.


on a side note, even if they did create a unit that can receive wireless signals from the xbox controller, then convert every signal then send it to the ps3, id imagine that would be a Very expensive adapter.

so u would probably still be paying a lot.

I think it's pretty obvious I did buy an adapter. And it ran my price up to $130.

Therefore I am a consumer, and my feedback is far more valuable to them than someone who hasn't made a purchase.

What's more valuable? Ideas to work towards for a 3.0? Or having nothing to build upon and stalling out at 2.0?

Thanks for your consideration though.
