Free Playstation (or PS2) to USB adapters
« on: November 23, 2002, 01:10:12 pm »
I just found this out while answering another thread.  Fry's Electronics is selling the BEST Playstion1/2 to USB adapter out there for $6.99 with a $6.99 mail in rebate coupon.  So basically its free (all you'd pay is shipping if you don't live near a location).  I've only seen them here in CA, but I could be wrong.

Rebate ends 12/31/02.

I already have 2 of them, and they work flawlessly with any original Sony pad (original digital pad, psone/dual shock, and dual shock2 pads).  I don't have any 3rd party playstation sticks to test with, but its most likely compatible with them also.  They even work with Dance Dance Revolution pads :-).

NIICE! :)

They really give you back the rebate money right?Sega still owes me $50 because I bought the dreamcast when that rebate was goin on and I never got that money...too Fuc_ing dumb.....they said i get $50 back but I really dont get anything back.However,I did pay them back(hint hint...downloading dc games :P)

Is there any limit to how many you can buy?
I am thinking 2 atleast.

You were only supposed to get the $50 rebate if you signed up for the Sega Online deal (use them as your service provider).  If you didn't do this, you won't get the money.

Oh, and on the free KiKi Joy, the rebate unfortunally is only one per family/house-hold.  So if you buy two, use a friends home address (just make sure they give you the money  ;D ).
