NYKO to launch Media Hub accessory for PlayStation 3

Nyko is announcing the upcoming release of its new Media Hub accessory for the Sony PlayStation 3. When attached to the console, the media hub will add another three USB ports as well as a media card reader that supports both SD Cards and Memory Sticks.

As you may have guessed based on its specs, this accessory was built with the 40 GB PlayStation 3 in mind, since that particular SKU only carries two USB ports and lacks a flash card reader. On a side note, it also fits pretty well into the PS3's contours, ensuring it won't stand out like a sore thumb.

Nyko's Media Hub accessory for the PlayStation 3 is expected to go on sale this August, with an expected retail price of US$ 19.99. Drop by again in case we receive news on any related topics.

no..

It won't fit in the USB port (back or front) without a USB extender. I also hear that the Xbox360 does not support cards to save game data on.

my gripe

My gripe with the 40GB is not the USB or even the lack of BC.. I miss the SD slot! SD is really the best way to port save data.. and whenever I plan to go play on a 40GB, I'm outta luck.

Hey buddy

If you have a cell phone with a usb port you can plug that in, and save your game data. Most Moto's work. I use that for my profile on sports games so I don't have to change the controls every time I play at my friends house. I even put movies, music, and wallpapers on it. Take it to his house plug it in and copy them over.

WTF!?!?!?!?!

This is great and all but wouldn't the thousands of other USB hubs already on the market work just fine? Not sure why this is such a relief to folks. All in all this looks more convenient.
