рџЋ® : There's nothing worse than your controller dying during the game, and you have to stop and charge your PS3 controller.

After all, there's nothing wrong with wanting the PS3 to be perfect. But it still aggravates me every time I have to reach from my PS3 controller-instead of my universal remote-whenever I want to watch a movie. Is any of this enough to make me regret buying a PS3? No, the myriad benefits definitely outweigh the drawbacks. (At this point, we're assuming that's definitely a hardware limitation, and not something that can be fixed with a firmware update.) And that, fellow gamers, is how we ended up with the PS3 USB charger pictured above. Likewise, the current iteration of the PS3-the 80GB Core model-has plenty of other design and feature tweaks from the original 60GB model, but the company didn't see fit to add an IR receiver or allow the USB ports to draw power in standby mode. Sony could've addressed the first two issues when they transitioned from the original Sixaxis PS3 controller to the newer DualShock 3 rumble controller-but the sealed battery and inflexible recharging remained, so it's clearly by design. Some clever workarounds exist, but they're pretty elaborate.

Adding a USB IR dongle would seem to be the way to go, but that, too, will only work when the console is powered on-so you'll still need to power up the PS3 manually, or with a Bluetooth controller. The PS3's touchy USB ports are doubly problematic, apparently, for anybody who's been trying to create compatibility with the PS3 for a standard IR remote. By contrast, some recent Toshiba laptops have a feature called 'Sleep and Charge,' which allow you to power up attached USB devices even when the laptop is turned off. Turn it off (standby mode), and the USB ports go dead. Controllers can only charge while the PS3 is powered up. Fine-you'll just leave them to juice up overnight, right? Wrong. OK, so you pretty much have to use the PS3 itself to charge your PS3 controllers. 3: PS3 can't charge controllers when in standby mode. (There are some dedicated third-party chargers available as well.)ДЄnnoyance No. But just plugging it into a powered USB hub (that's not connected to a PC) or a USB charger (like the iPod AC adapter) didn't work for us.

In our experience, it needs to be something with a 'brain'-a direct connection to a PC works, as well as plugging it into a satellite box, such as the Dish ViP622 or DirecTV HR20. But plug the controller into any other USB source, and it's more of a 50/50 shot. Sure, it charges from the PS3 via that console's USB port.

These days, a lot of portable products can just be plugged into any standard USB hub, USB charger, or a PC, and they'll start juicing up. I'm a big fan of charging gadgets via USB. 2: Controllers can't charge from all USB sources. The 360 has the best of both worlds: it uses standard AAs (or rechargeables you supply, as suggested above), or you can invest a few bucks in the 360 Quick Charge Kit (a recharger and one rechargeable battery, with additional batteries available separately as well).ДЄnnoyance No. We've also had good luck with third-party charging solutions from Nyko and Penguin. The Wii uses standard AAs, so you can buy a charger and a set of batteries from the likes of Duracell or Energizer, and you no longer need to invest in an endless supply of new batteries. Compare that with the competition: both the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 controllers have removable batteries. When it eventually dies a few years down the road, you'll need to invest in a whole new controller. The PS3 controller's rechargeable battery is locked inside. 1: PS3 controller batteries aren't removable.

In fact, the existence of this sort of accessory just serves as a reminder of some of the PS3's biggest annoyances-all the more evident because the superb gaming console/Blu-ray player/media hub is otherwise close to perfection.ДЄnnoyance No. And if the PS3 were better designed, it wouldn't have to.

While we wouldn't be surprised to see this thing appear Stateside as well, the problem is: there's really no reason it should need to exist. Engadget has noted the appearance of a new PlayStation 3 accessory in Japan: a USB charger that can juice up two PS3 controllers at once.
