"The AC adapter is super convenient as the PS3 Does not need to be powered on to charge the controllers. I tinited mine in the front and now the blue lights don't shine brightly when trying to sleep."
"From when I bought my PS3, I also own another charger, a "PS3 Move Quad Dock Pro" (http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Move-Quad-Dock-Playstation-3/dp/B0041RY3W4), but it has two issues: 1) was finicky to plug a gamepad onto a charging port, and 2) there was soft rubber running around it's sides, which after a few years turned nasty, going soft and sticky."
"The lights on the dock show you when the charging is done which is a great feature."
"Great product!"
"Holds the remotes in very sturdy."
"We have four PS3 controllers charging in the cradle without any issues."
"This charging doc is perfect for my ps3 controllers!"

"If you have the USB charging cord that came with your PS3, then you're all set, just plug it into the charging station and you're all ready charge."
"It has LED indicators of the charging level which is a really nice touch."
"We love the quality of this docking station, it is very easy to attach the controllers onto, this was bought as a gift at Christmas and my son loves it."
"We daily watch Netflix on the Playstation and this allows us to keep the controllers out and fully charged so we don't have to constantly open the child locks or have multiple wires hanging out."
"You cannot just plug a micro USB into a PS3 controller and charge it, there has to be an electronic handshake of some kind which tells the controller to accept the charge."
"The reason why this product deserves only 2/5 stars is that It was all plastic, even the "plastic chrome"."
"well, I don;t know why but my controllers cannot get past 'one out of the four for complete charge."
The Dualshock 3 Charging Station conveniently charges and stores two Dualshock 3 wireless controllers. Charges 2 Dualshock3 Wireless Controllers Simultaneously.

Find Best Price at Amazon"The piece doesn't come off the controller very easy, so if you have more than two controllers, it can be annoying to take off that attachment and put it on another and there is not way, that I can find, to buy an extra piece to put on the extra controller or two. It would be more expensive that it's worth to buy an extra charging station for maybe one extra controller, plus I would assume it would be a lot less expensive to just buy the extra attachment if it was available."
"It's two small, lightweight adapters that click into the micro-USB port on the tops of the controllers. Then when you're ready to charge the controllers, you put it into the base, and gently push it back. This is a lot nicer than other charging systems, which often seem to have an LED on at all times (draining electricity from the wall and adding a glowing element to my entertainment system, which is distracting when trying to watch a movie in the dark)."
"My favorite feature of this is that it come with 2 clips that go over the existing mini USB charging plug in your controller and replaces it with a charging unit that holds the controller in place I the charging station!"
"On the service: I received this item about 2 days behind schedule (which was not a big deal of course), but some parts were missing. I contacted amazon and they got to me within a day, and confirmed that they have shipped the missing item as early as 2 days after."
"Note: You do have to keep the charging element plugged into your controllers so they can charge."
"I used my controllers after a full charge and played for 8 hours straight and still had a 50% charge on the controller."

"The cord that came with my PS3 was so short that I couldn't play while it was plugged in and charging."
"Charges like normal, only gripe is the cord is metal banded to ensure durability."
"This a good quality cable, that is long enough to charge a controller while playing a game."
"This cable works great with my PS3 controllers and is long enough to allow me to continue to play games with them while they charge."
"The connection is crappy so you can't move it while pulled in...which is the point of have a long cord!"
"The cables I received are from Nyko and are specifically for the PS3, but they do not have braided shielding."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Like many gamers I know, I am prone to outbursts of frustration that usually result in my controllers taking abrupt trips across the room into the nearest solid object. The silicon material gives an excellent level of grip, and the controller stay firmly in my hand, even during the longest gaming sessions."
"I'm not one for boring colours. This silicone skin is the perfect solution."
"There is a slight seam around the outer edge where the top & bottom meet, but this is much more comfortable than the controller's recessed hard plastic seam that was always digging into my hands."
"I was expecting this item to not fit properly because it was cheap, but it was easy to slip on and fits my controller like a glove."
"The danged DualShock is as slippery as ice, and when not covered with something, it scoots off surfaces as if it's Wilt Chamberlain, constantly trying to hop of a woman."
"This skin/jacket/slip-cover (whatever you want to call it) is a big help to keeping a grip on the controller as you attempt precision gaming (like compressing the shoulder buttons and taking aim in CoD)."
"Excellent seller, I recommend 100% ..."
"Because it said included which would not be a big deal if I was aware and it was stated there would be no controller but hey we will give you the charging cable. Will post another review once I'm able to set everything up and see how the system works and functions."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"As long as you can afford it, this seems to be the best controller you can get for the PS3 ... it has the best balance of heft, solid construction, good tactile resistance in the buttons and thumbsticks, excellent durability, good vibration feel, good communication range, reasonably fast charge time (2.5 hrs or less), and a long-lived battery. * Minor design issues: (a) when putting the controller down during active play, there's an occasional tendency for one of the L2/R2 buttons to activate if you're not gentle. A pair of small support feet on the front of the controller, placed just behind and below those 2 buttons, would solve that."
"Bought our kids a ps3 last year for Xmas, got them a couple of cheap controllers."
"**I BOUGHT THIS CONTROLLER USED**. I bought this controller because a couple of my older ps3 controllers were starting to act a little funny (acting like I had pushed certain buttons when I had not and such)."
"It looks almost identical to the real thing, but the product sticker on the back is not the correct label, and the model number is not correct either."
"I though the price was a bit low at $33, but though It was on discount or something, I checked and it was advertised as a Sony controller."
"Already (Feb 2015) in 3 1/2 months, the left controller stick is sticking/sliding when I play, making it impossible to play because it won't stay on an object long enough to target the object. It doesn't do it as you touch the controller stick itself, it does it on the screen within the game, which makes it impossible to fix by even tapping the controller stick."
"The controller's square button keeps activating even when the controller is not in my hand!"

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I own over 50 pairs of headphones...from $10 to hundreds of dollars, wired and wireless. I'm not as good as true audiophiles at distinguishing imperfections and details in exact frequency ranges..my ear just can't do that at this point. But I think my opinion strikes a very good balance between a normal consumer that knows almost nothing about headphones and someone wanting details on the particular sound signature. The build quality on these are outstanding...best I've seen for wireless headphones close to this price. They swivel, unlike any headphones I've owned, and this really helps to get them tight fitting. BUTTONS: On the left ear cup, a 1/8 inch input allows you to connect an included cable to use these like regular wired headphones. I've personally never used this feature on any of my headphones because that pretty much defeats the purpose of buying wireless. A dedicated wired headphone is always going to sound better than bluetooth wireless because of compression, all things being equal. Below the power button is a wheel clicker that functions as track skips and play/stop. I really like the fact that all of the buttons are different and easy to distinguish when you have them on your head and can't see. You would think a 57mm driver would give the manufacturer some ability to do some great things on the low end. I do not notice any sound leakage since these are closed headphones and the fit can get nice and tight. I don't use headphones as my full time bluetooth device for talking, so I can't give an extensive review on that feature. Walls are going to make everyone's results vary, but these would be excellent to place your phone in a central location in the gym and not have to carry it. CONCLUSION AND FINAL THOUGHTS: One feature that may be useful to some is the "headphones as bluetooth receiver" option. If you are truly worried about audio quality as your number one feature in a bluetooth wireless headphone, then you'll probably have to spend a little bit more money. The build quality, range, battery, and the many dedicated buttons took my review from 3 stars to 4. My hope is that Bluedio spends a little more time on the audio aspect for the next model."
"I did some research before making the purchase and noticed that there was a change in the design (1st gen being more fragile) and noticed all of the positive reviews of the second gen. But if you are looking for precision sound, then you may want to shop elsewhere, these are not the ones for you. As far as the build quality; I don't see any problems with the design. Battery life is phenomenal, comfort is at it's best, sound quality is amazing (Bluetooth and corded - powered and not powered), build quality is fantastic - especially for the price that they are selling for."
"They claim 57mm size drivers which are quite large and they definitely have a big sound. Pros: Wireless - to get a pair of Bluetooth 4.1 headphones is a big deal for this price. The battery life is also displayed on my iPhone screen. Built in microphone - it's great having it all set up to answer phone calls. They should have included a higher quality aux cable for when I plug it in direct. In lower lit environments the little indicator light can be quite bright."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"And I didn't needed because our little girl likes to play Eye Pet and for her to play it the camera needs to be UNDER the TV, because she plays on the floor and the camera would not see her if it was on top of the TV. So, briefely... You WILL need the clip and you will be happy you bought it IF you have a flat panel TV AND your Eye camera can't sit on top of it naturally."
"Sony doesn't make an eye camera clip (I looked around and didn't find any SONY EYE CAMERA CLIP but the Sony company looked around and chose the BEST HIGH QUALITY EYE CAMERA CLIP and gave PDP their official stamp of approval."
"Ordered mine from "Direct Distributor" fullfilled by Amazon, and I got the genuine PS3 branded/boxed item."
"It really just lays on top of the TV, and at first I thought it may not be stable enough, but I quickly realized that the weight of the product and the downward pull of the USB cable from the camera hold it in place just fine."
"That being said, once you set the camera and clip on the TV, you pretty much just leave it there and don't touch it again."
"I should have read ALL the reviews on this product before buying, not just the ones on the first page that make it sound great. Also not happy with Amazon, seeing as they are knowingly allowing a seller to claim Sony products that aren't!"

"The fan attachment lifts or tilts the system otherwise."
"My ancient 60 GB PS3 started showing signs of overheating problems recently (power kicking off after 45 minutes or so use), and I didn't feel like tearing it apart and reflowiing it before the YLODs start coming (again)."
"This item does have a noise to it when running , however it is not nearly as loud as the ps3 fans kicking on at high speed."
"It attached to the back of my PS3 with minimal effort, and it runs remarkably quiet."
"It's got a funky-looking tug wrap (for lack of a better term) that won't let the system lay flat and the thing is ugly enough that I don't want to see it over my system. Some say the fan is annoying."
"Works AMAZINGLY."
"There's plenty of space around it, but it still gets hot and I have to leave the cabinet door open when playing or watching a movie. After running it for about a week under different conditions (playing, watching movies, streaming music) I find that, while it does blow additional air out of the PS3, it's not enough to stop "jet engine mode" from kicking in."
