 Does NOT work with PS2 Games on a PS3 August 19, 2008
This TAC adapter will allow you to use a ps2 guitar controller to play guitar games made for PS3. If you have a 60 or 80 gig PS3 that can play old ps2 games, then beware that this adapter will NOT let you play GH 1, GH 2, and GH 80s on your PS3. TAC states this on the back of the package, but it is not readable in the images on Amazon. If you have a guitar made for ps2 you can buy the GH3 for PS3 game disc and use this adapter to make your guitar controller work. That way you can avoid buying the entire GH3 package that includes the game + USB wireless guitar that is more expensive than just the game disc by itself. It was not designed to be used to play old ps2 games on your PS3 and can not be used in that manner. I give it only 3 stars because it does allow a ps2 guitar to work on my PS3, but the reason I bought it was to play old GH games on the PS3 and it won't work, and was not mentioned in the product description at the time I bought it. I will hang on to it in case it may come in handy if a friend is over and we need to use it for a second guitar, but other than that this thing is useless to me and was a waste of $20.

It's nice to have my friends who have the PS2 guitar to have the ability to play on my PS3
 Does the job, like expected. Great product. August 6, 2008
I purchased this adapter to play the PS3 version of Rock Band with my old PS2 Guitar Hero SG guitar controller. To this day I have not had a single issue with it and I am VERY happy with this purchase.
I have also used it to play regular non-guitar PS2 games on my PS3 and it works flawlessly. Sometimes you just need to re-assign the regular PS3 controller to be #2 in order to have the adapter as #1, but that's never a problem and takes about 5 seconds to do.
Great product, well worth the twenty bucks.

Works perfectly (so far). Star power even works like it is supposed to.
Some of the other reviews said that you had to use the select button, but
this is not true--at least with MY guitar (Gibson). My wife said that she
thinks there may be a small lag, but I cant say that I have noticed it.
If you bought a 80gb PS3 like I did--and have been tearing your hair out
because the console will PLAY your old Guitar Hero games but your guitar
doesnt work--then this is your salvation :)
TAC deserves some kind of award for creating something that Sony should
have built INTO the 80gb PS3 if they were going to claim
'backward compatability' for the Guitar Hero Series; Who wants to play
GUITAR HERO with a controller?
*NOTE: You may need to reassign controller IDs so that you have an empty
slot for 1A (thats where your guitar needs to be located). You will also
need to keep a normal controller handy, as you will need it to exit the
games (PS2 guitars dont have the nifty little PS3 button).
Rock On!
Good product with a few quirks July 17, 2008
So far the adapter works well. We're just using it with an old PS2 guitar from Guitar Hero games, but it was lag-free and works fine. There are a few quirks in its operation, in that the select button in combination with one or two of the frets creates a "left" or "right" function since those guitars don't have it.
Additionally, we had a little trouble attaching the guitar through a controller extension cable. And it seemed to be happier (more reliable) when plugged into USB port 1. However, that could have been issues with the extension cable.
Either way, so far I definitely recommend this product.
