There's not a whole lot more to it. If you happen to have an old PS2 controller, you can use it on the PS3. This can potentially open up multiplayer for those who wouldn't otherwise have two guitar controllers, which is nice, and it can keep you playing in an emergency if your new controller just died. This should be very helpful to a lot of families out there attempting to buy the new Rock Band or Guitar Hero without quite so much, well, cost.

I have rock the 80s encore for ps2 and want to play it on ps3 , if i have a guitar for ps2 or a ps2/ps3 compatable guitar and this device this will play that game on the ps3?

Oddly enough, no, it won't work for that. If you're playing a PS2 game on the PS3 with backwards compatibility, the adaptor doesn't work, which is really irritating.

what do you mean by backwards compatibility?

If you're playing PS1 or PS2 games on your PS3, that's backwards compatibility. This adaptor will not let you play Guitar Hero 80's on the PS3.
