Energizer kills Nyko...and looks good doing it!
Just for backround on me, I'm a hardcore gamer and I play with my buds all the time. I was looking for a good charger that wouldn't light the room up like a neon sign, but would get the job done. Oh, and I wanted something stylish that would be just as pretty to look at as the PS3. ;) This charger fits the bill perfectly.Ok, I've done what every single one of you has done, I have looked high and low for good chargers. It came down to this one and the one by Nyko ( PlayStation 3 Charge Base 2 ).When you take these two chargers into account, about the only thing you can say that the Nyko has over the Energizer is that it will plug in better. Well... as far as I see, you still have to plug them both in. I have seen however, that people find it difficult to plug in the controller on this charger...BUT! Do not write this charger off for this reason alone! I had the exact same problem as well. What I ended up finding, was that since the controller plugs into the tower instead of a little plug that you then drop into the unit as the Nyko does, it's so much more satisfying to use the tower. While difficult to learn at first (much like a stick-shift car), it only took me three tries to figure out I had to tilt my controller up a tad bit more (meaning the part that faces out goes up, the nose/USB part, goes down) than I was for it to slide in. When I did this, I got a very satisfying *shyyk* feel. Just like they were made to be together (Duh! haha).That successfully puts it on the level playing field of the Nyko, so lets see why it's heads and tails above it.This charger looks so, freaking, good. It's black, and has this gorgeous chrome trim on the sides that make it go with the Fatboy PS3 ( PlayStation 3 80 GB ) like they were both made by Sony. Don't get me wrong, I own a slim and it still looks just as good with it, even makes it look better! The lights on it are bright and noticeable, but they don't make the room glow like you have an LED sun.Now, some reviewers complained about the weight. I would argue with that, because I think it's just right! If it were any heavier, I would bet my money they would complain that it's "just as heavy as my PS3!". It's light, like it was made to be portable. It is also sturdy though, I can push my controller and just leave it there without worrying about it. The weight is not an issue unless you're lazy and just kinda throw your controller into it. Then it would fall over.Oh, I think I almost forgot the most important part. How does it CHARGE?! Oh... I'd say pretty wonderfully. It charges the controller, and it does it insanely fast. I plug in my controller after a long session of Modern Warfare 2, and it hardly takes it 20 minutes to turn green! The best thing though, is that when it's done charging it stops the flow of electricity to the controller. What this means, is that it won't burn out your controller if you leave it plugged in for days at a time. Super +!I will tell you something I found that was very nice that isn't quite charger specific. Ok, I don't know if I got a special model, but I bought my charger from Amazon and got an additional item. I got a little cradle for the PS3 headset that plugs directly into one of the side USB ports (came in the charger box!). No cable, no setting the cradle somewhere else, it plugs DIRECTLY IN! This is great for me because I have the official headset, and I just eliminated a wire plugged into my PS3.I would highly recommend this product. Some people may go with the Nyko, but for the same price I'd go with the stylish model (heck, I'd pay an extra 5 if I had to cuz it looks so good.)

Relieves the hassle of charging your controllers
This game is very nice and much fun.Sorry, the review interface asked be how much fun this game is and what I would rate this game, though, it's not a game at all. It's real life. And in real life, you don't have time to deal with dead PS3 controllers.The "Sony PS3" way of using USB to charge the controllers is a bit silly and cumbersome especially if you have one of the newer PS3s with only two USB slots. Thankfully I have an older one with four. But, I don't need to hold those slots up with controllers anymore since I purchased the Playstation 3 Energizer Power & Play Charging System from Amazon. There's not too much to say about it except that it uses AC power which frees up your PS3 USB slots. Plus, you don't have to have the PS3 on while you're charging the controllers. It also comes with a handy power dongle for the Sony PS3 Bluetooth headset. That comes in real handy as well if you have this particular headset. But, if you have a different Bluetooth headset, you can still use one of the two USB ports on the side of the charger to charge that device. An added bonus (at least for me) is that my kids finally started plugging in the controllers when they stop playing (which is rare). Unfortunately (for me) the only reason they do it is because of the snazzy lights that come on when a controller is plugged into the charger. It's red when the controller is being charged and green when the controller is done being charged. They think it looks cool when the lights are on, so they plug them in when they're not playing. Oh well, whatever it takes.Again, not much to say about it except it works. Buy one, or two if you have four controllers, today!Ok, you can buy one and be happy if you have four controllers but there are only two snazzy lights and you'd need two USB cables to charge the other two controllers. I personally will buy another one when I purchase two more controllers. The Playstation 3 Energizer Power & Play Charging System gets five snazzy LED lights out of five.

Bon produit conforme à sa spécification et doté d'une connectique électrique française, pratique et design.Une remarque, le port USB situé sur le côté ne permet pas de charger une manette ni un casque.
