5.0 out of 5 stars Effective charger / Gorgeous looking, July 10, 2008

By	Jimmy - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Design: It's a plug that looks like a PS3, which is a pleasant surprise actually.

Effectiveness: Gets the job done. Takes about one or two hours to charge an empty controller.

Convenience: It charges up to two controllers simultaneously and comes with two free USB charger cables.

Quality: The charger was badly scratched up.

I'm satisfied. No need to look elswhere for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Maybe it works for some people..., December 17, 2008

Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

Like many others out there I needed a solution to charge my controllers without having to plug them into the Playstation 3, so I purchased this little guy. Initially, it feels pretty cheap, the flip down prongs felt loose, and sure enough, the thing is very finicky at accepting power. I first plugged it directly into my power strip, and I kept finding that the controllers weren't charging, and that I had to move the charger slightly till it showed it had power, and then not breath. I thought maybe the shape of my power strip was contributing, so I put in a little 6" extension cable which allowed me to get the best possible contact, and still it was finicky. (Most likely the joint used for the flip out prongs).
I can't be sure of this, but after fussing with this for a month or so, one of my controllers just completely stopped working. Did the flaky connection fry the batteries?
I replaced the controller, and the charger (Pelican charge station is working great so far), and things seem to be happy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Two different shipments and both did not work, March 12, 2009

By	Kriston Rehberg (Fairfax, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This is one of those rare items which I have had to return twice. The first one did not work at all--not even the red LED lit up. The second one turned on the LED but only one of the two ports worked.

It's on sale because it does not work.

On the bright side, it's one of the only USB power supplies that will activate the PS3 controller's charging circuit. I'm not sure what it is about the PS3 controller but it will not charge unless it's plugged into a USB port that is capable of initializing it such as this item or a USB port on a PS3 that is turned on (or a Wii that is sleeping).

I'll keep looking for a stand-alone PS3 controller charger. I'm afraid if I get another replacement it might set my house on fire.
