TRON Legacy PS3 Slim Powerstation 400 - Clean Power & Charging Station for PS3

Works great and looks great. I didn't realize it was TRON licensed when I ordered, but a true fan of the series may recognize that a little better than I would. Looks great when installed, takes only seconds to hook up. Perfect for someone who wants to charge controllers/accessories when the PS3 is shut down. It would be better if it allowed the USB ports to read a device, such as a flashdrive or mp3 player, but this attachment doesn't obstruct the two original USB ports, so it's really not an issue. LEDS look great, not too bright in my opinion, which is a common complaint about these types of products. Having a built-in surge protector is an added bonus, though I still run it through a surge-protected power strip. Great product overall.

No different than when it was plugged up to a surge protector

I like the concept a lot and the power conditioning is good to have. At $20, it's a steal. The 4 USB ports are handy. Wondering why the smaller USB port shown in pictures wasn't on the product. What was the design change for?

pros.+ looks nice: Looks much sexier than any other stand on the market, plus it's TRON styled. I wish the white stripe would light up but only the T arranged square lights towards the front light up. Note: these are always on, even when the ps3 is turned off.+ clean power: though debatable, the added Monster 'clean power' adds some peace of mind for your $300+ ps3.+ surge protection: though most people already have a surge protector they aren't always high quality ones; even so, surges can still damage electronics, so it's nice to have the extra protection just in case.+ USB ports at front of stand are always on, therefore you can charge controllers or other electronics (eg, cell phones, headsets, etc.) even when the ps3 is turned off.cons.- USB charging only! the USB ports can only be used to charge and will not be recognized by the ps3 for any other purpose (eg, instrument dongles will not work, microphones, etc.)- price! premium price considering the lack of USB functionality and the fact that most people already have a surge protector or USB charging stationOverall, it's a very nice product and adds a unique look to the ps3.

Ok so I got this product not to long ago on here. Shipping was very fast.Some IMPORTANT things to know before getting this.The blue stripe you see on it is supposed to be like in the movie and light up, But it DOES NOT light up. The only part that DOES light up are these little white/light blue dots in the front.The charging station is meant ONLY to charge controllers and headsets. It is NOT a hub. Which means you cant put a external hard drive or USB flash drive in it and use it there. However it is very nice because the PlayStation can be turned off and you can still charge stuff even when its not powered on!There is NO installation software for this product you simply just: Unplug the power cord from the back of the PlayStation. Gently slide in the Power Station onto the console. and plug the cord that comes with the Power Station into the back of the power input. Note: This will NOT cover up any fans or overheat the console. It may add a little room but its very cool!It has a very advanced power surge protection system to prevent power complications from ruining the console and WILL alert you with a alarm saying that your PlayStation has been protected.It also acts as a vertical stand with a slide out part to make it vertical, But I would HIGHLY recommend NOT doing that as it MIGHT damage the game discs.Lastly this is ONLY for the PlayStation 3 SLIM. The older model PlayStation 3 console and this product will NOT work together.Pro's+ It adds 4 new charging ports to your console+ It has a optional vertical stand+ It adds power sure protection+ It is easy to install, and takes up only a little bit more roomCon's- There is no long blue light on it. It is in fact a STICKER.- It is not a HUB for extra external hard drives or USB sticksOVERALL: This is mainly to make your PS3 look really cool and show off to your friends! but comes with a added bonus of a charging ports and safety!9/10 Very good product!UPDATE: I have had this for about a month or so now and everything is just fine. No problems!

it was the wrong item

After reading the great reviews here, I knew what I was getting, and I got what I payed for. I needed both a PS3 stand and something with continuous usb power for charging the controllers and other devices. The fact that it should protect my PS3 from power spikes is a great plus too. It also looks pretty darn neat if I do say so myself. Along with the POWER A Media Expansion Bar for PS3 Slim, the PS3 Slim looks evenly geared out. I might even paint some white on the expansion bar down the line.This is a four star component to me. Aside from non USB link to the PS3, the only other con I can think of is the LED tron logo which stays on and can't be toggled off, but that's minor.

Bought this a while back and still hasnt dissapointed me i wanted a simple stand that would go great with my ps3 and this is perfect only flaw is that the usb ports where a great addition since i had my ps3 remote ipod headset phone and xcm adapter all needing a usb port to charge !
