ps3 energizer power & play station

EddieDZ · 12-27-2009, 02:03 PM

Just wondering if anyone has one or what are your thoughts on it.. im thinking of getting one with my $25 giftcard to futureshop (aka bestbuy). i just cant stand having to turn on my PS3 to charge my controller(s), and though i can plug it into the PC, the PC tower sits low to the floor so every time i plug it into that, the two youngest kids usually get at it LoL thus i like to keep it up high. I read alot of good stuff on this and how it matchs great with the PS3 (non-slim)... the best part about this is that it has a AC adapter so it plugs and stays plugged into a wall outlet.

I have a friend with the 360 version and it works great, keeps everything nice and clean. I would hope the same results show up for the PS3 version.

Since I have both PS3 and 360 I am getting this: http://www.amazon.com/KONNET-Power-P...1948212&sr=8-3

I have it and it works great. The controllers are always charged now. Been using it for over a year straight. I think it is supposed to change from the red colored light to green once they are charged but mine doesn't. Other than that they work perfectly, so I just have it off in the corner on the speaker so I do not notice the red light always being on.

You can charge your controllers through your PC or laptops USB ports.

I just got this one from Bestbuy...

Pictures don't really explain it. The reason I liked it was because I have 4 controllers and I didn't like that the energizer one only has space for 2. It will charge 4, but the other 2 have to sit on the side with a cord attached. I like that the rocketfish holds all 4 in holders and charges them. And it's cheaper.

Eddie,

I had my for over a year now, and love it.. You can actually charge upt to 4 Remotes at once.. It has two usb ports on the side of it as well.. I like how it changes from Red, to Green when the remotes are fully charged..
I usually charge my remotes and headset at the same time.. De worth the money..

Pick it up, you won't be dissapointed..

Mine does not change from red to green.

Mine changes from Red to Green. It's a pretty useful toy. I wish I had the pyramid one for PS3 AND 360 but I use rechargeable NHMH batteries for the 360 anyway and it works well enough.

Thomas Foolery · 12-28-2009, 09:43 PM

Mine also changes from red to green when charging is complete. And it is nice to be able to charge controllers without running my ps3.

EddieDZ · 12-29-2009, 05:31 PM

just picked it up at walmart today

cant wait to hook it up (at work now)... both controllers are very low battery too

wow I just got this for christmas and now I wish I got that pyramid one you posted. but as far as the ps3 one gos works great. Much better then the one I bought for wii. remotes would never stay charging theyd just sit in there not charging unless i held them.

the only issue with the pyramid one..well a couple actually. far more exspensive, and Amazon has been showing approx 1-2 months before ships.
