In the most recent of Xbox 360 hacks (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Xbox360hacks/), a modder named Morris has crafted a PS3 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/PS3/) controller out of none other than -- as ironic as this may seem -- a dead Xbox 360 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Xbox360/). That's right, somewhere out there, a PlayStation 3 has slain its mortal enemy, mercilessly gutted the internals and now has a modded Xbox as its eternal slave. The case contains all of the buttons you need to partake in a classic beat-'em-up -- a joystick, the four PlayStation buttons, R1 and R2. There's plenty more to gander at in the source link and enough in the way of detail and instruction to get started on your own arcade stick too.
