Not the best for first generation PS3s

Drive works well and is only slightly louder than the 80GB drive my ps3 came with originally.  I have noticed lag in many of my games though.  It definitely seems to happen the most noticeably when new sounds are being read.  Just a warning that if you have a first generation ps3, you may get this issue too.  Didn't have problems installing.  The PS3 recognized/formatted the drive fine.

Does what it advertises but does not work well with the Playstation 3.  The video feed keeps blinking in and out even with the power adapter plugged into the switch.  My other devices work fine (Playstation 4, DirecTV DVR, and Chromecast).  For that I will give it 3 stars but will need to find another solution.  Perhaps you get what you pay for after all.

I love gaming on my xbox mostly due to the ergonomics of the controller. Let's face it the ds3 is uncomfortable. So I was thrilled to see a ps3 controller that allowed for xbox-like comfort while playing.

My first impressions of the controller were great. Very nice packaging. The controller has a pleasant matte feel to it and looks very striking with its red accents and black design.  I knew you couldn't turn on the ps3 and the controller takes up a coveted USB slot on the system. This didn't bother me.

I fired up the system and popped in some CoD. And that's the first and last time I used this controller. The dead zone in the analogue sticks is massive. Moving the sticks from center to about half way to he edge does not register. His makes precise games like FPS's impossible to play. It seems like only straight up down/left right movements would register well. Good luck making any kind of fine adjustments.

This controller was extremely disappointing. It would be a fantastic product had it not been for its one crippling downfall. I'm back to using my uncomfortable ds3

Finally, took Sony two years to get a controller out, too much is put on games (I get why it's bread and butter) but the PS3 was so much better with Media.

This remote is okay, it's bluetooth so works great, but it goes to sleep which is a pain as you have to hold the PS button in for quite a while to wake it up, there is no just picking this up and using it, very annoying.

I have purchased 3 of these eXuby controllers in 2015 and 1 of them had trouble connecting to ps3 without holding the middle guide button down for a while. The bad controller had issues staying connected to PS3 when you got up and walked away for a couple minutes or so.  The R1 button on that controller was near completely worn, the L1 was not much better. I sent the bad one back for refund.  The possibility of receiving a junk generic game controller is always higher when buying off brands.

Positives=Plastic shell doesn't feel cheap. The controller has tight Analog sticks with good R3 and L3 button presses. The R1,R2,L1, and L3 buttons are quality and work great. I like the R1 and L1 buttons much better than the factory Sony controller because they are harder to press down. The D-pad is good and tight on this PS3 controller unlike some generic PS2 controllers I have purchased in the past that had loose and wobbly junk D-pads.
The X, O, and the other 2 buttons on right side of controller are good for a generic controller. Only Sony gets those 4 buttons right.
[Durability] I do not know cause I have not used these for a bunch of months yet.

Negative=Precision targeting in a First Person Shooter game is literally non existent using this controller's analogs.  I tried out a couple of these controllers to make sure..

The eXuby looks to be a  excellent controller for Racing, Hack n Slash, and Platformer games.  I do believe these controllers to be a good buy for what they can be used for.  Leave them be if your looking for a controller to play FPS games.

I was only able to play it 1 time and my PS3 took a crap. YLOD :(. Hardly ever play the PS3 since I bought it years ago.
 Otherwise the game seemed good. Now I have to figure out how to eject it. Gee, thanks Sony

The wiring was correct on mine, but the plastic housing around the plug end was a smidge too big to fit into the controllers battery port. I just popped the tabs open and switched out the housing from the battery that was in the ps3 and it fit like a charm. It can be tricky to get everything back together again, but it was worth saving $50.

The PS3 is suppose to be backwards compatible yet in order for me to play a ps2 game (god of war for example) I need a Ps2-USB Controller adapter, just to play the stupid game because it won't read the PS3 wireless controller when you start the game up. Then you need to hook in this memory card adapter just to save ps2 data to the HDD Drive of the PS3 or else you cant save...So now just to play ps2 games I had to buy 2 adaptors and have 3 things dangling from my PS3's USB ports and it looks really trashy. Sony should have thought this out better if it wanted the ps3 to be fully backward compatible and easier to acess for the consumer.

Seem to be ok so far. Bought them for my daughters PS3 but soon found they Re not compatible

Control sticks are very stiff, only holds a charge for about 10-15 minutes, and the charging port broke after about a month of use, so I couldn't charge it at all. My advice, invest in a proper Sony controller, as the PS3 third-party controllers seem to be very poor as a whole.

This box should definitely not be used for PS3/Xbox 360. If you have a LCD Widescreen monitor it is much better to get cables that have a VGA/DVI output.  That will get you your crisp image.  I tested this box on my Gamecube. It works. But for some reason the gameplay is dark...REALLY DARK. I tried adjusting my monitor brightness but that doesn't have any effect at all (MGS: Twin Snakes).  Of course you aren't going to get the best graphics out of this but playing games that are near pitch black isn't what I wanted. Hoping to return this.

I own both xbox 360 and bought this a little after Christmas. For what I paid I was completely disappointed by the system. Uncharted was a great game so if you have already decided to get a ps3 i would recommend this but the system is lacking. Right now the graphics are barely better than the 360's though that should eventually change.

  There is no longer backwards compatibility with the ps2 which is unacceptable at this price. You would think paying more would get you more but it doesn't. Also the bigger hard drive compared to the 360 is a little misleading because a lot of games require an installation before you can play so that starts to eat up your hard drive space. The online is not as good as xbox live but it is free so I am fine with that. Also there are not as many good games as I had hoped. I buy cross platform games with good multiplayer for the xbox so i have found my ps3 library is growing much slower than my 360 one.

  There is nothing inherently wrong with the ps3 but I find the blu-ray aspect useless because the movies are overpriced and i don't feel that it is better than the 360 but it costs significantly more. But if money isn't an issue or you don't like the 360 I would consider the ps3 the second best console. I would wait for an inevitable price drop before buying this though.

Hardware
The computer is immensely improved DVD/Blueray drive is worse than PS3's.
Drive makes noises when some brands of DVD-R's are inserted and will not play CD's or MP3's.
Case is cheap plastic and looks it close up.
Controller is improved and doesn't look as cheap as PS3's.
Runs hot but quietly. Hope it doesn't melt the chips off the board like my first PS3 did in 05.
Better graphics than Xbox One.

Software
Software is nice but wants to record everything you do and post of Facebook and you can't turn it completely off.
Some key functionality doesn't work unless you pay $50 a year to Sony.
You do get quite a lot for the $50/yr if you like to play game and the console maintains itself automatically.

Bundled game
Battlefront is a disappointment no real story line just a series of multiplayer battles.
You have to have PSN+ to use it properly.

i bought 3 these for my ps3 slim (for multiple monitors/tv's so i don't have to unplug them). it says in the description that they work for the ps3 so i didn't think there would be a problem. they just don't work for the system. i tried all 3, all of them showed static when the ps3 was turned on, (no actual picture, just a static one), and when i was finally able to get 1 of them to work, it was a jumping static picture of my ps3. these are horrible cables.

This is a perfectly measured piece of flat copper with some thermal paste.  I can't really comment on how well the thermals other than a subjective assessment of fan noise.  The PS3 seem to ramp up less, but I did this on an old 1st gen unit.  The fan might ramp up less from simply cleaning and applying new thermal paste.  Either way, if you're brave enough to try this, it could add some years to your PS3.  However, it's not easy to remove the heat spreader.

The Evercool Defender is a little hard to attach to the Playstation 3 console and the fan power is a little on the low side. I struggled a little with getting it to stay attached and not to fall off if touched brushed up against while operating.

You've probably heard of people who burned some internal board in their PS3 due to forgetting their PS3 on. This Hub doesn't help with that issue, since it only charges when the PS3 console is on. I looked at various solutions for PS3 controller charging, and none seem better than the Sony 2 PS3 chargers, the PS3 DualShock 3 Charging Station by Sony. Unfortunately, even with that solution (which for some reason seems overpriced at this time), only 2 controllers can be charged at one time, and I had to buy a separate PlayStation Move Charging Station for the move controllers. I recommend going with the Sony brand, since I had hit and miss experiences with generic chargers, like those from Nyko.
This charge Hub comes with a relatively useless charger - useless because the Hub needs to be connected to the running PS3 console to work. Also, of the 2 USB cables (USB to mini-USB), one needs to be used between the console and the hub.
