The cables that come with the PS3 to recharge the controllers are a joke, unless you like seating next to the huge noisy console box or don't mind resting your controllers for a while while they recharge. These cables are long enough and tough enough to handle the typical video-gamer usage, tossing them away, bending, crushing.
Price can be a bit high for what is just a USB cable, but Walmart did have the best deal, even better than 'other online-only retailers with the names of rainforests'
