Good concept, bad application

USB ports don't deliver enough power to run too many devices, especially when they need power. I bought it to connect several Rock Band devices to it, but it can't provide the power needed to run them. The odd thing is that I have no problems using the Rock Band adapter (it plugs into one port and then has two more ports built in) but when I try to connect them to the Media Hub they do work Not. They also had the added side effect of interfering with the PS3's internal Wi-Fi. I like the way itโ€ฆ

A must for PS3 owners

I was just debating which USB hub to buy when I saw this. $15 is a lot more than most USB hubs, but it was a really elegant solution to the USB port problem. It not only combines the left USB port with 3 other ports (giving you 4 ports in total) but also adds an SD card reader. A less obvious benefit of this gadget is that it moves the ports to be flush with the front of the PS3, rather than being inserted an inch or two below the front edge. This greatly simplifies a quick connection. The only

Pros
  • Legacy Systems
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Great addition to PS3!

I bought this to complement my Playstation 3. It is well made and comes with two adapters, one for 40GB PS3 and one for 20GB, 60GB and 80GB PS3. I think the adapters are mislabeled (marking molded into the actual adapter). I struggled to connect the Media Hub to my system using the 40GB adapter, but when I tried using a different adapter it snapped. The adapters have two small spikes that "lock" the Media Hub onto the PS3 using the front vents. The Media Hub brings the total number of USB ports

Pros
  • Adapter
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen

Beautifully designed, works great!

I was excited when this product was announced about a month ago and ordered it right away. He arrived two days ago and after playing with him for so long I can say I'm very happy! There is no shortage of that. It fits the PS3's frame so well that it looks like it's part of the design. The finish goes well with the black PS3 matte, unless you shine the light directly on the device then you can see a subtle color difference. The adapter snaps securely into the vents under the USB ports and comesโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cable and adapter

  • Some defects
