      $20? Useless. You can get a $9 power strip from Walmart.com, with a switch of course, and it supports up to 6 PS3! Better deal. :-P

      If this was like $5, maybe.

      A power strip can damage electronics, what people need is a Surge protector.

      But i like the yellow and black strips. ROFL
      anyways i have a lamp with a switch on it with my ps3 plugged into just for that purpose.

      but it does look net and clean would be not that bad if it was a surge protector and only $10

      this thing probably costs about 50 cents to produce.
      this is sad lmao.
      they make switches that go straight from your plug to your wall, and it looks like a little light switch on your outlet.
      that and they also make surge protectors.
      good luck to these people lmao.

      u can buy your own construction tape, a surge protector, and a power strip all for less than 20 bucks! go to Home Depot or your local hardware store. if it was $2.50, then maybe i'll think about it.






      hehehe

      I guess I'm the only one who thought this was kind of cool? But alas, I have a fatty, so I need not!

      Still, very clean construction and a good problem solver. Should have left it black though.

      Nope, unless noted on the strip. Around here you can get a power surge protector starting around 6 bucks. Havent had the power go out in years, but when it does i know my 56" flat is protected

      For $20 it should come with a remote control...it would not be hard to do at all.

      All of those are a hoax. Especially since it's dated September 11, if it was real we would have jumped all over it by now.:

      The slim line units do not have that switch on the back.

      OMG!

      Why buy this???? You don't have to unplugg the cable every time. I never touch my cable and play my backups without any problems. Have a slim with teensy. When I'm done playing my hacked games, I choose to shutdown and next time i just press powerbutton and quickly eject. Works like a charm, so stop unplugging it's works flawless anyway

      you just need to get into a exploited standby state
      once cable removed replugged and executed hack,
      you don't need to remove the power cable IF your ps3 is standby or on all the time
