Having picked up two more controllers for the Playstation 3, I needed a better way to charge them. Previously I had just hooked the USB cable up to my PC or to the PS3 to charge. With four controllers though, that was going to be a pain. The solution? I picked up the Playstation 3 Energizer Power & Play Charging System.
At nearly $30, it is rather expensive compared to the other PS3 controller chargers out there today. But then again, each controller costs $50 a piece, so I wanted to make sure I had a charger that would not ruin them and that would work. Energizer is a name I know, so there you go.
Overall, I’ve been pretty happy with it. It looks nice, so it could be displayed on the shelf next to your PS3. I don’t have the room for it, so it is tucked away in a drawer right now. You can also charge up to 4 controllers if you use two USB cables – which can be plugged into the side. Just make sure they are pretty short, or your going to have a mess of a cord collection, taking away from the stylish look and feel of the charger.
Once you slip a controller in, the plastic over the controller’s middle section glows red to show you it is charging. When it is done, it glows green. If you have a PS3 Bluetooth headset, it comes with a little charger adapter for that too, which plugs into the side USB ports.
So when push comes to shove, other than the price, I can’t find anything wrong with the Playstation 3 Energizer Power & Play Charging System
