You have got to be kidding me!! April 10, 2008 D. Jenkins (Missouri) 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
People that would be a sucker to buy this would probably go buy a gold plated tin can, sure it's coated in gold, but it's still a tin can.
Buying this cable doesn't make much more sense.
A usb cable is a usb cable, and insulation and gold plating are just simply NOT neccessary, you would have to go through 6 regular cables before the purchase of this cable would be justified.
As one of the other wise reviewers stated, Monster is notoriously overpriced, and are infamous for insulating and gold plating cables that quite frankly are just for looks and have no functional value what-so-ever.
High quality cable. Nice looking. A little pricey. February 12, 2008 Darren Widder (Marquette, MI) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
The cable works flawlessly and charges the PS3 controller quite a bit faster than the stock USB to mini-USB cable. I've seen other 10' cables that range in price between $8-$10, but am still pleased with my purchase.
Don't waste your money February 7, 2008 PS3 owner 6 out of 9 found this review helpful
Monster cables have been, and always will be, the most overpriced and over hyped cables on the market. Especially with cables like these. I'm pretty sure that even while plugged in the ps3 controller still transmits over bluetooth. So what exactly is this BS about "maximize data transfer." even if the data did transmit over the cable, NO ONE would notice even the slightest difference between this cable and a $0.99 budget cable of the same length. Durability? give me a break. When was the last time you had a usb cable stop working? (meaning there was nothing wrong with anything but the cable) And at this price you could buy 14 budget cables!! what do you think will last longer? 14 budget cables of comparable quality, or one of these overpriced pieces of garbage? I will never in my life support monster in anything they do. And don't think that, because this is listed as a PS3 peripheral, its any better than a standard usb cable. Do some research. Stay away from monster. they are thieves.

Great Product! December 7, 2007 J. Roos (Iowa, USA) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am a guitar player, so I knew the quality and reliability of the Monster Cable brand before I ever bought this product. They are a fantastic company, who makes some of the most durable, reliable cable products on the market today.
I love the fact that this cable is 10 feet in length. The recharger cable that came with the PS3 is only 3-4 feet long - barely long enough to sit in the chair and play while the controller is charging! This cable fixes that problem. Heck, I can lay back in my recliner with this cable attached and still have plenty of slack to spare!
The quality is top notch, which is exactly what you'd expect from Monster Cable. The cable is nice & thick, with heavy rubber sheathing and heavy duty plugs. This baby isn't gonna wear out or have connection problems anytime soon. And for the price, it really can't be beat.
