| I'm not sure if this is a dumb question or not, haven't tested due to no converter to USB but can BMax access a ps2 guitar? Is it as simple as JoyHit(1), JoyHit(2) etc. Thanks. |

| The XBox 360 guitars just work in Windows Vista, and even to an extent in MacOSX. I doubt it would be so simple with the PS2 controllers. You would likely need special drivers. |

| Get a PS2 to USB converter (around £5 from play.com). PS2 gamepads work this way so I see no reason why the guitar shouldn't. |

| Hmm, okay thanks guys I'll get a converter and try that, if no luck I'll go with the XBox guitar. Cheers :) |

| I've had a quick look and there doesn't appear to be that many converters?, including from play.com. I'll try again in the morning. |

| http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.789 $5.63 with free worldwide shipping is probably a tough one to beat. :) Less than three quid and it lets you run two pads/guitars too. |

| Yep, that'll do it. I definitely know that play.com used to do them, because that's where I got mine from. Odd that they've chosen to discontinue it. Unless Sony have made them stop selling it for some silly reason... |
