Nope, the PS3 controller (Sixaxis or DualShock 3) isn't directly compatible with the PS2 due to different connectors and technology.

Nah, doesn't work. They have different connectors and the PS2 doesn鈥檛 recognize the PS3 controller鈥檚 signals.

Straight to the point: nope, you can't. They use different connection types.

You can try some third-party adapters, but results may vary. It's a bit hit or miss.
