Great kit that saves you money over buying each item separately. However, WARNING the media hub will NOT work with the new slim PS3s. This was disappointing. I was looking forward to having more USBs available. It will only work on the older PS3s. I'm not going to say it's misleading, but it would've been nice to know that it doesn't work with the newer slim models. Other than that the remote, charger, and HDMI cables all work perfectly so far.

This is a good kit but the photos were deceiving in that they show that the USB hub has a card reader.

Overall I think it gives u your money's worth and more.

HDMI cable: Works great, no complains. Plus: it's well designed, I have the feelin that it'll last for the whole life of my ps3. When you compare some of the absurd PS3 HDMI cable prices, this is a bargain.

Charge base: Works as expected. Just about any usb to wall charger could work just as well , but it is a nice addition to the set, and as i said, it does exactly what it is supposed to for up to two controllers.

USB Hub: It doesn't work with PS3 slim, although I knew that already from reading a very useful review. I can't seem to understand why a USB hub would need a special configuration o manufacturing in order to work with different versions of PS3. Nyko just would't go the extra mile to assemble a "universal" PS3 usb hub. It's a shame.

DVD Remote: It works, but it's no bluetooth remote. It has a wide range but an obstacle may get in the way making u move idiotically in search for a right spot to use it. Also, it requires an adapter connected to a usb port, which ironically wouldn't be such an issue if the media hub actually worked.

As I said, the pack is worth it's value (29.99 if u bought alongside the console) for the HDMI cable and the dual Charge Base alone. The DVD Remote is a welcome addition, but the Media hub is pure junk unless u own an older PS3 version, only up to 80 GB.

The HDMI cable works flawlessly on a 1080p monitor. Very durable build.

The remote is not bluetooth, so you need to plug an adapter into one of the USB ports.

A USB hub with three ports is included in the pack, so it's not much of an issue. But I found it interesting that it did not come with the memory card reader as is the case with the individual unit. Snapped right onto my 80gb PS3.

The charge base is my favourite part of the pack. About the size of a stapler, all you have to do is plug a plastic adapter onto the controller's USB port and drop it in either of the slots on the charge base. (The controller's face should be facing the lights.) You can even keep the adapters on while playing. Two indicator lights let you know either of the controller's charge status. Green = fully charged/empty slot. Red = charging. I do feel that the lights are a little cheap-looking, but that's no problem. Oh, and a handy little power button on the opposite end of the charge base. Perfectly sized and easily depressed.

If you just bought a PS3, this is the perfect pack to accompany your purchase.
