Well ya BIG whinge, did you order it from any of the above yet? :pac:

Excuse me..... I take exception to that remark.... It's MR. BIG Whinge to you!!!!

Logic3, they want €10 just to deliver it... meh. Plus they are not an Irish company
Having tried espares for other stuff in the past, they will only deliver to a UK address.
Zaps, I don't know what I'm be charged. Plus they are not an Irish company

Much happier ordering from [or walking into] an Irish place of business.

It's also interesting how much whinging I can do in my little corner without getting banned or thread locked. Looks like I've already upset my liccle noodle

RangerR, you are one of the rudest and annoying posters I have ever seen.

RangeR

You are obviously not seeing the funn side to my OP.

Anyway, my question has been answered, thank you all and for the fun.

This thread may now be closed as we are starting to see trouble.

Now that's the spirit. Actually. I've now tried it three times from Amazon.co.uk today.

TWICE it was refused. Although the order was taken, a short while later it was rejected saying they wouldn't ship it to Ireland. I should have taken a screenshot.

My third attempt today seems to have been accepted. Maybe they just want to get rid of me I'm keeping a close eye on it anyway.

If you can't get it let me know. My supplier came back to me and they can't get it. Worst comes to worst I can order it for you myself. Have a sister living in Scotland and a brother in england so you'll be sorted one way or the other.

Just arrived from Amazon. I'll try it out tonight and report back tomorrow.

Tried out mine. Works a treat. Bit of an ugly red LED but a bit of black tape will cover it nicely. Fits in nicely under the top lip of the PS3.
All in all I'm happy with it. Have a keyboard, mouse, USB cable and pendrive connected with no issues.

To close this one off [forgot about it for a while]...

The 5 port USB hub is great. It plugs directly into the two ports in the front and just looks like it belongs. It fits the PS3 curves pretty much exactly. However, as mentioned, it is a bit lose and can be tricky to remove items from it unless you hold it in place. A TINY price to pay for such a device.

At one point, I have had the following connected
* Dual Shock 3 [charging]
* Six Axis [charging]
* Official Sony HD bluetooth headset [charging]
* Buzz Quiz TV USB stick
* PS3 official Eye Camera

They all worked and charged. It was a treat. I'm not easily impressed by technology but this was such a simple thing. Now I know I can play an 8 player Buzz WITH my camera [needs three ports]

Definite recommendation to anyone with a PS3 [Fat - Haven't tried it on a slim].

RangeR

Ahhh, nearly a year on and I'm loving my USB hub. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. I now have two sets of BUZZ buzzers with two dongles. Still haven't run out of USB ports

If only life was this simples

RangeR, Are you trying to sell these or something??

I was thinking before i opened this thread, gee this hasn't been here for ages, maybe someone did a search (for once) and really needs this USB hub.

No harm though bringing it back up i guess seeing as the new Slims only have two USB ports.

Jeebus no. I was just looking around and came upon this thread again. It's been nearly a year since I started this thread and just wanted to update how good this U SB hub really is. Have no idea if it would "fit" the slim as I've never seen one. But for a fat PS3, it's the business and well worth the money.

D/C

Cheers for updating this thread, never thought of buying one of these but might just go for it one of these days! Does anyone know if it will fit the PS3 slim 250gb?

I read that if you're plugging big, power-consuming things into a hub for the PS3 that it can burn out the port on it, so just letting you know that if you want to do that then you'll need a hub with an external power supply. Not elegant I know, but them's the breaks.
