And is that because a normal 8 way stick is essentially just buttons oriented in each of the 8 directions?

Actually It will, but you do need a hacked PS3 controller
I have a U360 set up as a dedicated 4 way on a donkey Kong cab with no PC and no USB
there is an output mode that allows for dedicated 4 way or 8 way mode
there is a breakout cable that is normally used as an input for buttons but can be used in output mode to connect to a hacked PS3 controller
you do need a PC to initially set the mode
read here under features where it says output mode
also see here under output mode for technical info
get a hack from HarumaN he does fantastic work!!!!
and if you need any help hooking it up I'll walk you through it

Hmm... I stand corrected then. BUt if you are going to just force that joystick into 8-way mode, wouldn't it just be better to use a different (and probably cheaper) joystick?

yes, unless you think you might be using it for something later or ,like me, like the no clicky feel of the U360
or if you want to also use the sick with mame you can hook up the USB too, and have one stick for you PC and the PS3, I do a similar thing with an over the lap CP I built, I can use with the PC, XBOX360, and the PS3
you just have to make sure that it is set to 8 way mode before you quit the PC

A Perfect360 would be a cheaper option if you want to run in eight way mode without the clicky feel of a microswitch based joystick.
