As most PS3 owners know, charging the PS3 wireless controllers can be annoying since you have to plug them in to the PS3 via a USB-mini to USB cable and they only charge when the PS3 is on. Sony is releasing a new AC Adapter that can charge two controllers at a time, which is good news.

However at an estimated $28 for the charger when it becomes available, if you already have a powered USB-hub or a computer that is always on, you can always plug the controllers into those USB ports for charging without spending any new money.
