for PS3, convenience can't be beat

After much research, I decided on purchasing these headphones over others because of the following:

- The price:  at $82, its pretty good for a wireless headphone solution.
- The connection method: probably the biggest reason I got these.  Its nice to have just a (smallish) USB dongle connected to the PS3 instead of a decoder connected to the optical out, etc.  I don't want to fiddle around with something at the back of my PS3.  Its true wireless (except when I have to charge them).
- The convenience:  Its nice to play without bothering anyone else in the house, especially late at night!

Cons:
- It is not 7.1 Surround.  I play Call of Duty (Black Ops 2) and this just gives me left-right sound differentiation... with surround on, i cannot discern whether it is coming in front or behind me.  These will not replace a full 5.1 full speaker surround setup (which i also have).  The difference is night and day.  Maybe this will change after proper break-in?
- These cannot be your primary headphones when listening to an iPod, or any device that only accepts the 3.5mm jack since this is completely wireless.  Thats ok with me as i have a couple of Sennheisers I use for that purpose.

In conclusion:  If these are just for use on the PS3, go get them.  If you need headphones that will work with different systems, look somewhere else.  Don't expect surround sound from them, just expect the easiest way to connect headphones to the PS3.

This is the 3rd PS3 I have bought in the span of 3 years. I can't get enough of them. I bought this one to convert my sister over to PS3 from Wii. I'm always happy with the bundles from Sony. It got here on time and at a reasonably price.

I've been meaning to buy this item forever, and after upgrading to a new A/V receiver this week, I finally remembered to grab one. What a pleasure it is! I finally can retire all of my remotes except my Harmony, and it feels good. The device is small, self-powered (no reliance on USB ports on the PS3), and setup was pretty painless. All you have to do is delete any current PS3 activities and devices from your software and reapply it all, and update the remote. And it works like a charm. If you finally want to ditch all the remotes and unleash your fancy Harmony remote, this is the way to go. One caveat, when you pair this to the PS3, it removes the pairing with your PS3 bluetooth remote, so if the Harmony remote goes down for some reason, you'll have to resync the PS3 remote to the machine.

This is my 3rd PS3, my original "fat" model 80GB is still running like a champ. I had bought a second "slim" 160GB model awhile ago that I used as my primary gaming machine and that one just died about a month ago. So, I decided to replace it with the new "superslim" model, and it is definetely a sight to behold. This limited edition red console is awesome, the color immediately grabs your attention and looks so much better than the standard matte black model that they are also selling now. This bundle comes with 4 God of War games on 3 discs (God of War 1-3 and Ascension), and it also comes with online redemption codes for 2 more God of War games to download to your new console (these 2 extra games were originally released for the PSP). A lot of people have complained about the games in this bundle not being packaged in the standard plastic PS3 disc cases, and I have to admit that I also find this to be a major annoyance. The cardboard sleeves that they came packaged in do not match the rest of my PS3 game collection and do not look good sitting on the shelf with the rest of my games. This is the only thing that stoppped me from giving this bundle a 5 star rating. This new superslim model is noticeably smaller and lighter than the previous slim model, and really does look great on the shelf. I have read reviews where people say the new system seems cheap or flimsy when compared to the previous models, but I don't think that is the case. I'm sure Sony was able to cut some costs on this newest model, but it still seems like a solidly built system to me. Other reviewers have said that they don't care for the new disc loading tray which you have to slide closed, but I think that is my favorite thing about the new model. In my opinion, less moving parts equals a less likely chance that the system will break, so getting rid of the automatic disc load / eject feature is fine by me. The manual disc door also feels kinda retro-cool, which I also dig. Also, when my previous slim model died on me, it died with a disc stuck in it, which caused me the extra hassle of having to do an autopsy on that system to get my disc back. So, like I said, I got no issues with the new disc loading bay. Everything else on this system is pretty standard and works like any other model PS3. The 500GB hard drive is a great value and should be more than enough space for your game collection, music, movies, etc. If you are in the market for a new PS3, I would definetely recommend grabbing this limited edition red bundle while it is still available. I can see this one being a valued collectors item in a few years time.

As many have stated, this is a great upgrade for your PS3. What on earth could you do with 500gb is beyond me and that is part of the charm of this product. You'll never have to worry about space again.

It should be easy to do right? Simply take out the old one and put this baby in and your good for a re-format session right? Not quite. First you're going to need to download the latest firmware updated unto a CD or DVD through your computer(At the time of this review its update 2.6) Then after you replace your HDD the systam will give you a notice about incompatability upon boot-up. Insert the media with the update into the slot and press select+start. This will allow it to reformat to your new 500GB PS3.
 This is a great idea if you're planning on installing another OS.

Works great with my PS3. There is no loss in video as well as the audio portion works well. I just wish there wasn't a Wii attachment to reduce the clutter.

It does exactly what I need it to do. It plugs & plays perfectly with the PS4. Also, if you use your laptop with your TV via usb, you can also use the keyboard at a distance so you don't have to consistently get up from your bed to change what you're watching.

If you need a way to chat for your PS4, look no further. Convenience at it's finest.

Perfect since i move my PS3 to my television in the living room or back to the bedroom on the PC monitors when i want to swap play rooms without having to deal with re-plugging all the wires

With this simple little adapter/cord and can now use my phone in a whole new way. It lets me connect any kind of flash drive/portable hard drive to my phone. With that I can transfer files (pictures, videos,etc.,) or watch movies right from the drive. I can also connect a PlayStation 3 controller to play games such as Dead Trigger, ShadowGun, ShadowGun: DeadZone (multiplayer),Grand Theft Auto 3, and a few other games. MUCH easier to play the games on my PS3 controller than to try to use the onscreen controls. This little thing does that and more. As soon as I can get one I'm going to try to connect a Bluetooth to connect the PS3 controller wirelessly. If you want more info just look on YouTube for how to connect PS3 to android. It is also alot cheaper than the $20 Samsung version of it seen here: [...]

Personally, I don't understand the poor reviews. I have owned the ARM for a very long time and I love it. It DOES work with my slim PS2 and has worked for every game I have tried it on. The ethernet connection doesn't work with my ISP, true, but that is a small price to pay for all the help it has been getting over tricky sections in games. And, since I only have to input codes once and it recognizes the game for then on, I don't even consider the lack of an ethernet connection to be a hinderence. This is a phenominal cheat system and I only hope I can find one as good for the PS3.

Works just as expected; I have my PS3, PS4, and homemade Raspberry Pi 3 gaming system all plugged into it (connected to a Samsung 40" HDTV) and they all work great. Picture is clear as day and I haven't noticed any lag when playing games on either three systems, or while watching movies on the PS3.
I'm only taking off a star due to the 'automatically switching input' being kind of misleading; it does detect which signal is being received (indicated by a blue LED) but you need to press a button to toggle between inputs, which can be a real hassle reaching behind your TV to hit the tiny button. Also, the aforementioned blue LEDs showing which input is active are REALLY bright, little guys will light up your living room if the room is dark, but nothing a little electrical tape can't fix if that bugs you.
Overall, highly recommended, but make sure it's in an easy to reach place!

Portta 3x1 HDMI switcher worked perfectly. It didn't need external power supply. Real convenience to switch between PS3 and Sony DVD player. Eliminated the hassle of plug and unplug the cables.

I really like that I am able to actually use it with my ps3. It works like it is suppose to. I have no regrets in this purchase and was well worth it.

One of the best Gaming Unit out there.  Comes with few great features of options you can do as a multimedia system for your TV.

I've added family photos, and use it as a music media for parties, chatted with my nephew.  The Blu-Ray feature was EXCELLENT.  The movie quality is extremely sharp.  It's like watching a live Broadway show. There are tons of Demo Games that you can download right to the PS3.

As for the games, that speaks for itself.  The PS3 is a powerful system with great integration of it's multimedia functions.  A system the whole family could use if it's use to it's full function.

I am so happy with my PS3. I am a 34 year old male, and I play games occasionally on the PS3. The graphics and game play is just outstanding. I mainly use my PS3 for its capabilities as a Blu-ray player. The console is just an outstanding Blu-ray player. The system outputs 1080P resolution on Blu-ray movies, plus it upscales regular DVDs to 1080i resolution. The PS3 is actually a component of my home theater system and I could not be any happier with it. I would recommend new buyers to purchase the Blu-ray remote control for the PS3, since it really enhances the ease Blu-ray movie experience.

This device was intended for the use of capturing PS3 titles via HDMI, given that the console, unlike its later counterpart, never received the option to turn off HDCP.

I love this product's convenience.

We used this for my Turtle Beach headphones to hook them up to the new PS4.  This saved quite an expense for the PS4.  Everything about the PS4 is more expensive, from the games to the controllers.

It improved the sound quality for my teenager and it also allowed him to play upstairs without scaring the daylights out of me.  The sounds to the games are realistic and a little over the top.  (I really need to move the big speakers out of there.)

We still have our PS3 downstairs because I don't really have a need for better graphics or whatever.  I find that I don't need the headphones for very many games on the PS3, anyway.  But having the adapter is the best of both worlds.

When I selected this adapter, I, of course, had it backwards. While everyone else wanted to upgrade their headphones, I wanted to upgrade my games to my headphones.  My headphones were better than my games.  The adapter could not make the sounds better.  I was trying to use them incorrectly.  I sometimes see things the way I want them to be.
