Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I finally got a new laptop with a lone USB 3.0 port. I'm now looking at getting a USB 3.0 hub with a power adapter so I can use both of my USB 3.0 hard drives at faster speeds. I've read lots of horror stories where some hubs either don't come with power adapters -- and as a consequence the portable drives don't work with them properly -- or they are designed poorly which results in USB 2.0 speeds. Or, the hard drives keep getting disconnected. Do your readers have any suggestions or experience using USB 3.0 hubs? Thanks!"
Ok, don't get me wrong; i love sony and i love my ps3, but here's my beef with sony.
Why would or should sony waste, IMHO, their time putting 3-D technology onto the ps3, when 3-D tv's probably won't hit consumers for 3-5 years and games with 3-D settings probably won't hit for 5-7 years?
Seriously, a technology that isn't even relative for the next 4 years minimum is more important to get implemented and working before software emulation of PS2 games? And even at that the PS1 emulation is actually a little disappointing; i know sony is a big company, so i know that they could handle making the controls even better.
Sorry for my rant, and thanks for reading; if you did.
@Pocker09 Enabling the PS3 to support 3D output is an immediate way to get 3D into the home. I bet Sony will see 3D specs + dongle to get people up and running with 100/120Mz sets but their ultimate goal is to sell 3D TVs. It is also another distinguishing factor between the PS3 and 360 which can't hurt either.

I must be confused about this feature, i assumed it was for Sony's 3D tvs they showed off at CES? Is it for all HD tvs; if so, i hate it less?
@Pocker09
5-7 years for 3D games? Are you kidding? NVIDIA has 3D Vision running on PCs right now. Games don't have to be specially coded for this to work. If they are specially coded it can make the 3D effect even better but it is not required. Once again, ANY game that uses 3D graphics can be used with the 3D Vision setup. The PS3 just happens to have an NVIDIA made graphics chip in it.... There will be 3D televisions and blu-rays hitting the market THIS Summer, and from what I've read 3D enhanced games will be as well, including Gran Turismo 5.
Once again, games DO NOT have to be specifically coded for use with 3D glasses and 3D televisions like movies have to be. The depth information is already in there with games. I'm guessing most if not all games on the PS3 will work in 3D from the beginning.
Now the downside. If a game isn't optmized for 3D sometimes the 3D effect is not all that great. But for the most part I think people will be surprised how great it will be. 3D Vision runs great on PCs, I'm guessing they will look great as well on the PS3

Dang, you didn't have to be so harsh there. I was unaware that most games can easily be turned into 3d games. Wouldn't a game specifically coded for 3-D outputted to a 3-D Tv, be the "true" 3-D experiance? And the reason I said 5-7 years was because i was talking about and assuming you'd need both 3-D games and a 3-D TV.
Plus, IMHO, 3-D gaming won't pick up; i'll pass until they can just give me a helmet that taps into my mind and makes me think i'm in the game.
