Unless your PC goes into hibernation/standby mode. Then it stops charging :(

Actually most computers have power going to the USB ports even when they are sleeping. I know mine does.

Your PS3 has to be on in order for you to charge it. If you are not playing your PS3 you can use your PC or any other device that is on that has usb ports.

I got tired of the gaggle of USB cables and trying to figure out what to plug them into so I got this...

The plastic controller holds illuminate red when charging and green when fully charged. It also has 2 other USB ports on it.

IF you hate the cables it is fair enough i suppose, though i love the fact that i can charge it and play at the same time. The dock means putting it up and not playing so it loses for me.

I do it when I'm not playing so it's not an issue for me.

The nice thing is any USB port can charge the controller. Sometimes I use a USB port that's on my TV or any of my laptops or desk top when I need to recharge the controller while playing a game. Now I never turn my PS3 off even when I'm not using it, I just let it fold during this time.
