How far I've come, and what to do next...

For those of you following me or reading this blog, I just want to re-cap everything that's happened thus far and seek your opinion on where to take this next. What I've done is nothing especially out of the ordinary. There are others that have done similar things, and I've even linked to a site where a guy is selling adapters much like mine that used to, and may still, be able to connect to the PS3. Furthermore, the adapter that I've made is only running as a low speed USB device. That being said, it should work as well as we'd ever need it to regardless of it's speed...... in fact, that may be the one reason it never get's blocked by Sony. Despite that, this is where this project will hit a split in the road.

OBsIV and I have been emailing back and forth for a while now, and after talking to him it has become a mission of mine to make my adapter also work with XBox 360 controllers, and thus work with XIM3. I'm hoping to be able to pull this off so that PS3 users will be able to use the XIM3 via a quality X360->PS3 adapter that's fully upgradable and supported for cheaper than the other guys can. If this sounds like something that you would like to see, please leave some comments. If there's enough demand, I'll put a rush on this so as to be ready as quickly after XIM3 is released as it possible can be, otherwise it may drag out until January or February depending on exactly how complicated everything becomes.

  3. Pros:
    -Compatiblity
    -XIM3 will be superior to every product out there
    -If you don't build something like this people will just settle for other expensive options. If you can keep the cost down low then go for it.
