Nyko: Announcing the ChargeBase and BluWave PS3 acccesories

Posted Jun 21, 2007 at 1:52PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: PS3 Tags: infrared, Nyko, SIXAXIS

Space on your PlayStation 3's USB ports getting sparse? We're letting the guys know that accessory manufacturer Nyko Technologies - known for their Intercooler line of accessories - has just announced that they're now shipping two new products for the PS3 console: The ChargeBase, and the BluWave.

The ChargeBase accessory will allow users to allow PS3 owners to charge up to four SIXAXIS controller at once and, given that it uses a wall socket instead of a USB plug, should help free up some needed space on your console's USB ports.

The BluWave, on the other hand, is an infrared remote for the PS3's resident videophiles. This device should allow movie fans the ability control their PS3's Blu-Ray player with something a little more traditional than the aforementioned SIXAXIS controllers.

We don't have any info on these two device's prices - stick around in case we pick up more info in the upcoming days.

For all us NON-Hermits this is a good thing. I was actually waiting for the charge base for a while. One thing that puzzles me tho is the infrared remote? i thought the PS3 didnt have a infrared port only bluetooth for remotes? anyhoo if it can be used then it's great I can use it as a universal remote to control the tv and my stereo.

im sure im going to get the charge base, i could just get three more USB cables and charge all four controllers like that, but this would be a much cleaner look. but i don't know about the remote, i think i would get the sony blutooth romote insted

# Don't need cables — Sembazuru 2007-06-22 05:18

The charging base doesn't need cables. It is a cradle for 4 controllers that has a mini USB plug fixed in each cradle area so each controller is placed in the cradle with the USB port down so it is held and charged simultaneously. The only cable that should be needed is the supplied power cable from presumably a wall-wart.

# Interesting about the remote — Sembazuru 2007-06-22 05:26

I know that there is a Sony branded BlueTooth remote, but this infrared remote idea might be useful to allow universal remotes to control the PS3. I don't know the details of the Nyko remote yet so we will just have to wait and see.

BTW, here is the link to NYKO's product page:

I just re-read your comment. And realized that my explanation wasn't necessary.

# WTF!?!?!?!?! — Guest 2007-06-22 06:08

You don't have prices? Coming days?

Horrible reporting.

The charger is $39.99 and the remote is $19.99.

That charger rocks! I just ordered mine.

Feel free to go to their site and orders these items now. This article makes it sound like these items aren't available yet but you can, at the very least, put your order in.

# I dunno — hush404 2007-06-22 11:50

I dun have any problem using the sixaxis as a remote... and if I did, I'd just go buy the blue tooth remote for the PS3.

# it has to be — Guest 2007-06-22 17:27

i can recognize you by your smell you stupid indbred *****.

please, for your own sake, just leave this blog and spare yourself the humiliation.

*****ing retard

# FYI — Guest 2007-06-23 00:30

just so you guys know i already saw this at my local gamestop today. i could have picked it up but i only have 2 controllers and saw no need since it doesnt take long to charge.

# lol — Guest 2007-06-23 00:46

I've been using a $10 wall powered USB hub for this since I bought the PS3 at launch...

Gawd people are slow.

# STILL still gay — Guest 2007-06-29 09:24

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you all know that I still like 360 power bricks shoved up my ass and that I'm still mildly retarded, poor and hella jealous of your PS3s. Please take everything I say with a grain of salt... seriously... I love you guys...

I just figured I should reiterate this because, as you all know, I am frequently required by my sponsors(Micros oft) to make posts of a defamatory or derogatory nature against the PS3 or I lose my butt-plugging privelages. Sorry, I still love you guys.
