Video Game Reviews of PS3 Move Charge Station Quad Port Charging DockCustomer Review: Great Christmas Decoration, extra work for the Butler and Maid! Summary: 5 Stars
Great Christmas Decoration!
PROS:
4 port, price competitive. Gorgeous! Makes a beautiful red/white, bright LED lighted Christmas decoration!
Seriously, it works well. Attractive 4 Port cradle that charges 4 move controllers or navigators (in any combination). It's a bit hard to get excited about a PS3 controller battery charger, but this one from NYKO works well. It's a little difficult inserting a controller with a wrist strap attached, to make contact with the base properly as you have to pull the strap tight from the bottom and up the back before inserting it in the charger, but it does what it's supposed to do, and can keep up to 4 controller's batteries topped off and ready to play.
CONS:
Not a true con, But I wonder who designs these things..? When I un-boxed it, I was almost afraid to TOUCH it without putting on white cotton gloves first, as the base is meticulously mirror finished in typical black piano luster, with a silvery chrome mirror finish trim on the sides. The 4 clear plastic holders remind me of crystal chandelier goblets atop the finest sterling silver and black onyx serving platter, fit for royalty. Then plug it in, and it lights up with beautiful red and white LED's and indirect lighting!
Did I just describe a battery charger? Yes... That's my point. This charger works just fine, no problems there. But who in the world designs these things? This one looks like it should go atop a concert grand piano as a center piece for Liberace (unless you're a parent of a PS3 gamer you probably don't even know who he was...) Point is: The design and mirror finish is absolutely beautiful! But come on..., for a battery charger? There is NO WHERE to touch or hold this thing which you often need to do when inserting or removing a controller in it's cradle, without leaving finger prints and smudges!
Practical? Only as long as you keep a microfiber cloth handy to polish it along with your sterling silver flatware for entertaining holiday guests! The designers should be awarded for the most beautiful PS3 charger I've seen, but they really needed some sort of matte, non finger print area to touch and steady it when inserting and removing controllers, without causing extra polishing work for the butler and the maid.
The only other con I can think of, it that it does not lend itself to be used on an entertainment stand or shelf, unless it's the TOP shelf, as you need 18-24 inches clearance to insert and remove the controllers, especially the ones in the back.
I would still purchase this one over the SONY 2 port model for roughly the same price.
