It’s too late to order for delivery in time for Christmas, now, but if someone in your house already has, or is lucky enough to find a Sony Playstation 3 under the tree tomorrow, there’s a new accessory that will ease the playability issues they may have with the PS3 controller.

XCM-USA.com has released its Cross Battle Adapter for the Playstation 3 which lets you use an Xbox 360 conbtroller with your PS3 console.

Some users have complained that DualShock3 controller is hard for those with larger hands and that holding the trigger buttons down for prolonged periods (as when playing racing games) results in sore fingers.

The XMC Cross Battle Adapter is available from online retailers noted at the XMC site for just under (US)$40.
