I either plug it in with a USB extension to I can charge and play games or I simply plug it into my PC. Then there's the added bonus of the PC usb drivers for the controller for emulation and what not.

Oddly my controller just stopped working.  Where could one procure those drivers?

How long does it take? I imagine it would be more time than a PS3, due to the lower wattage.

lol, no. It has nothing to do with the wattage usage of the system. USB has specifications for power supply, so it would be the same on both.

 




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I often charge my Controllers throw my PC when my ps3's off. [and my PC's on most of the time.. it's my closest friend in this house....]
They're both in the same room... actually my pc and Ps3 are right next to each other.... And my PS3's connected to my PC monitor. [1080p on 25.5 inches ]

Well you can plug it into any USB port and charge it from my experience, so you could technically use your 360's USB slots as well, but for me personally I use my many many PC USB slots since I got all these spliters and such, like I have a numpad for my laptop that adds USB ports then a controller converter with even more USB slots, etc. It seems every USB device has to come with an additional 2 USB slots.

haha thats great. After the novelty of better graphics wears off, watching DVDs is about all you can use the PS3/360 for.

See, I can make stupid generalizations too.
