The box shows signs of aging, such as yellowing, but the main unit appears to be in good condition with no signs of use. I purchased it new, and it didn't originally come with a USB cable, but you can use a PS3 controller cable. It works without any problems. No smokers, no pets. This is an adapter for transferring virtual memory card data from the PS3 to a memory card. You can copy data from a memory card inserted into the memory card adapter to the PS3's virtual memory card, so if you have an early model PS3, you can play nostalgic save data from PS2 and even the original PS games with a controller free from the PS3 cable. If you connect via HDMI, you can enjoy the games with an even more beautiful picture! (≧∀≦)
