TwistDock for the PS3, Adds more USB Ports and Keeps Things Neat

ChipChick: TwistDock is the perfect accessory for any PS3 owner. It is currently preparing to launch in the U.S. ( it already has in Europe) during E3. The TwistDock docks your PS3, organizes and keeps your gaming area neat, it easily connects all cables – including HDMI port to TV, and charges controllers for continuous play. There are also 4 additional USB ports for connecting more peripherals and 2 USB charging ports. The TwistDock retails for € 79,99 ($98.40). Unfortunately there is no word yet on what the official US price will be.

So this is what this is http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Hmmm, not what i was expectin, looks groovy though

LtSkittles5095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

after it turns into a centipede, or whatever there's a screen with the same thing.

@PSClan I have two, but only really use one at time. I only really need two, anyways, I mean I have one controller, a PSP, and a usb stick, but don;t need them all at once.

Comet5095d ago

Wasn't expecting anything other than a dock... that well..., twists.
;D

BigPenguin5095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

Thanks for posting the video.

"I can put my controllers in it, and while they are being charged they are not being touched by anything. That means I can stay 100% accurate throughout the whole game" The fuck does that mean?????

Why did they show that guy using an ipad at the end, next to a controller. What the hell was that???? That ad made no sense at all. I feel like I am taking crazy pills!!!

EDIT: I re-read my post, I don't mean to sound sarcastic sltPoisen, I really thank you. Even though I think the video was insane, if it was not for you posting it I would not have gotten to see it.

BannedForNineYears5095d ago

WTH@That video.
Agreed BigPenguin.....Don't know what they were smoking when they were making that.

kunit22c5094d ago

Got a question, do the Controllers charge when sitting on the back of the Twist Dock??

yoshiro5095d ago

looks very cool...i might buy one...

Davoh5095d ago

Yeah it looks awesome I might get one. Even though I have a PS3 with 4 usb ports already, you can never have enough ports =)

DarkSpawnClone5095d ago

LOL ewwww any one ever see that nasty human centipede movie? lol this looks cool tho but wont work with my tv stands (i have 2 ps3's , one is the 250gb slim)

Crazyglues5095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

for $200 bucks I can get a whole stand for my Plasma with glass self's that will fit the PS3 & my Plasma just fine... Link - http://shop.bjs.com/Z-Line-...

They got to be kidding me... and for 5.99 you can buy a usb extender thing that turns the one usb into 4...

That PS3 stand is just way, way over priced.

Hideo_Kojima5095d ago

I got this for £10 http://media.photobucket.co...

It gives me an extra USB port and lights up.
It even has the exact same finish as the PS3 so it looks as if it is one part.

One of my friends thought I had modded it :P

DarkSpawnClone5095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

Dude thats the same TV stand i have my Panasonic plasma tv on LOL!! good choice in stands dude!!,that stand is awesome! lmao are you stalking me >___>.(JK)but seriously i have the same set up lol

jack_burt0n5095d ago

@guntrol

that looks great what is the name of the lit blue dock?

thanks.

N4BmpS5095d ago

I am kind of a neat freak with my gaming area I don't know if or when this will come out for NA

Bolts5095d ago

So it turns my PS3 into an insect like creature?? Not interested. That is unless this robo-insect can reduce my carbon foot print by feasting on human blood instead of using electricity.

karan86245095d ago

That video was trippy as fuck

dabri55094d ago

OK, this is retarded. The dock is kinda useful but that's not what is so retarded. WHY is this one of the top stories? There are hundreds of console accessories that come out every year and none of those are top stories. This isn't either. I just don't understand why.

FamilyGuy5094d ago

Two weird commercials, at least they're consistent with not making sense...

krisq5095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

I always wondered why there is no USB ports on the back?
Is it compatible with phat ps3?
And this angled position, won't this throw bd-drive off balance?

wicko5095d ago

Nope I've opened up one of the drives before to recover a disk, it is pretty solid in there. It's not like a regular disk tray.

rob60215094d ago

I really think Sony should add one port on the back now with Move coming out, I'm sure most would prefer not to have to wrap the cord around for the pseye.

wicko5095d ago

"The TwistDock retails for €79,99 ($98.40). Unfortunately there is no word yet on what the official US price will be."

Umm.. that's quite expensive for a powered USB dock.

Theonik5095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

There have been tons of things like this. Hell i have one on my 80Gb that adds Memory Card readers and 3 extra USBs (snaps at the front)
Another one I've seen is this (Pictured)
If the pricing on this is correct this is a massive rip-off.
@Wicko, yeah you're right. I saw a video of the drive working with a transparent casemod. Very cool drive it is.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1821d 23h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d 13h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow1d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow14h ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 4h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow14h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX2d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney9h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 23h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 23h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

1d 8h ago
fsfsxii1d 9h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 8h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
