Some PC controllers will work, I have heard of a few logitec controllers working the ps3. Just plug it in, it its going to work it will almost immediately. If it pops up and says "unkown usb device" it most likely isn't going to work

no it cannot but a ps2 controller can work on a ps3.

The PS2 controller does not work like a PS3 controller and sort of downgrades your system, while they can still play the games it is giving up something merely to save some money

How can you hook up a ps2 controller to the ps3 with out an adapter?

No it is not possible to hook up a PS2 controller to a PS3 without an converter. The PS3 was never designed to use PS2 controllers, and even with a converter the controller will not feature all of the functions of the PS3 controller. It may be possible to rig a PS2 controller to work without a bulky converter, but you would have to build it yourself.
