Is the ps3 usb connector needed to use the controller ?
usb connector
Apparently my last question didn’t go in so i’ll try again? My usb connector broke today and I was wondering if it was really needed to play or if i just use the charger or something. Also, if it is needed, where can i buy it? Can I buy it separately or does it have to come with the controller? Thanks.
Oh and usb connector is the little black thing you put in the controller slot that has a little red dot at the end that blinks. Thats what im talking about.
UMMM??
Did your USB cord break?
Just buy another one.. you can get them for $10 or something like that at wal-mart or you can get one online at

Unless you mean your USB port on your PS3 broke then just use the other port..
if both ports are broken then you can charge your PS3 controller from your computer or where ever a USB port is available like a iPod wall charger
OOR
You mean you broke your USB port on your controller.. then you will have to buy a new controller.. Like at walmart, best buy, target where ever you buy your games from.
If you can find a way to keep the controller charged then you shouldn’t really need the cord.
USB "cables" are sold separately from controllers, usually.
You can buy the mini-USB cord separately. The Dual Shock 3 controller doesn’t include a mini-USB cord.
I think you need the cord after you do a firmware update. I remember having to connect the Dual Shock 3 to the PS3 using the mini-USB cord.
