 Very usefull February 4, 2008

This docking station give a tidy place to store your controllers. Plus charges the controllers when the PS3 is switched on. This works fine for me, as one controller can be charged when playing 1 player games. ie one controler is left in the docking station. Also I have the bluetooth remote control, so when watching films or downloading demos etc. both controllers are kept topped up.
As for comments about the flashing lights, well this is optional. Simply press the button on the docking station and they can be on or off, but the controllers still charge in either state...
Another advantage is this is a tidy solution, so the wire can be hidden permanently and just have the docking station available for storing and charging the controllers.
Rather than having a loose USB cable and no where tidy to place the controllers when charging..
Finally this station means two controllers get charged off one USB port, so if like me, you have a 40Gb PS3 and you only have 2 USB ports, this is great.
Best buy out there! July 9, 2008

This is certainly worth buying if you have a ouple of controllers, it keeps them charged at all times and keeps them neat and tidy instead of thrown all over the living room and tucked behind sofas.
I have plugged mine into my V+ box and they sit nicely beside it, I believe some freeview boxes and SKY + boxes have a USB port on the back so if like me you have 40gb PS3 then you don't need to use any of those ports.
Overall I would say buy it.
Just to clarify December 30, 2007

Just to clarify a previous reveiwer stated that the lights don't light up on the controller it self when connected to a usb plug charger. This is because they onlylight up when they are connected to a ps3. However they still ae charging.
dont be put off buying

This dock allows me to store and charge both controllers. I sit it behind my console so it's out the way and the lights don't bother me (You can switch them off there's a button as other's have said) Keeps both of the controlers nice and safe unlike my old PS2's which seemed to leave cables everywere. worth the money.

the blue lights on mine is a bit weak but what amazed me the most is using either mirrors or small solar cells/gates to show the charge state.
So if your controller is charging the bar flashes as you would expect on a regular usb cable on the ps3, when fully charged it stops flashing, if you press the PS button and then put it in the dock the bar will flash at one point like on the controller.
Ingenious!
There may be problems with killing/damaging/shortening the battery in the controller but i haven't noticed/had these problems.
If anyone does leave controllers on there for extended periods of time (like days) with the ps3 on and off can you state any affects such as discharging/battery life loss etc?
