 Beautifully designed, works great! July 25, 2008

I was excited to see this product announced a month or so ago and immediately pre-ordered it. It came in two days ago and after playing with it for that amount of time, I can say that I'm extremely happy! Not a flaw with it.
It fits so nicely against the PS3 frame that it looks like a part of the design. The finish matches the PS3 black mat just fine unless you shine a light directly on the unit, at which time you can see a subtle difference in color.
The adapter snaps firmly into the vent holes underneat the USB ports and comes pre-configured with the 40GB adapter for the ease of most consumers (most purchasers of this will be 40GB PS3 owners). In fact it snap so easily into place I didn't even notice it happening, when I tried to remove it I could not until I figured out it had "locked in".
The card reader also works great and adapts to several different types of memory cards, but mostly I use a media server or thumb drive to put media on my PS3, so that's not something I will use often.
My PS3 purchase was for two reasons: Blu Ray and RockBand, so I figured I'd get the cheap 40GB one. When I got it home and saw it only had 2 USB's and no card reader (as opposed to the 80GB version) I was a bit upset, but my fault - I should have done better research. This hub has completely solved the problem in an attractive way while adding memory card functionality to boot - my powered USB hub with a crappy dongle has been officially retired!
If you have 40GB PS3 and find yourself wanting a memory card reader, or more USB ports, this is the only thing to buy!
 Great Addition to PS3! July 24, 2008

I purchased this to complement my Playstation 3 console. It is well built, and comes with 2 adapters: one for the 40 GB PS3, and one for the 20,60, and 80 GB PS3s.
I think the adapters are mis-labeled (the labeling is molded into the actual adapter). I struggled to get the Media Hub to lock on to my system with the 40 GB adapter, but when I tried with the other adapter, it clicked right into place. The adapters have two small nibs that "lock" the media hub into place on the PS3 by way of the front air vents.
The Media Hub brings the total number of USB ports on my PS3 to four. With the 40 GB PS3, the media hub can only be plugged into the LEFT USB port. It molds perfectly with the PS3 face, and can be used when the PS3 is in the vertical and horizontal positions.
The only thing I would suggest for Nyko to improve is that the matte black finish should be gloss black to match the finish of the PS3. It's a minor quibble, but would improve the aesthetics of the unit. Also, the Media Hub only "adds" the capability for two additional USB devices, not three. The 40 GB PS3 has two USB ports. Adding this device brings the total to four, not five (since one of the existing USB ports is taken up by the device).
It is a very capable USB hub and card reader.
