Hey Everyone,

I'd ordered a PS2 to Xbox controller adaptor but it didn't 
arrive in time for GDC (sigh...). Anyone have one of these 
(Search for Magic Box if you don't see the product):

If so, can you bring it? And tell me if you can because I 
need to know whether or not I'm hauling this xbox tomorrow 
on the plane with me! :)

Thanks!
Michelle
