Cheap USB Cord?

[specialist]

Hey all,

Anyone got any info on where to get a cheap USB cord? I'm tired of using my camera's tiny cord to charge my PS3 controller.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you're only buying one, Amazon will probably be the cheapest. Otherwise, monoprice.com is the best.

Just search for 'mini USB cable' and it should fit your PS3. Micro USB is something entirely different, however, so don't let that confuse you.

You can also check just about any thrift store. It seems every one I go to has a bin of random cables, many mini USB.

What about a Gameboy Micro, any ? I know that my local Big Lots has a $6 USB cable that will charge a PSP/PS3 accessory and DS Lite.

I know that a Sansa Clip, Sansa Clip +, and a Razor phone uses the same USB cable end as the PS3/PSP.

Monoprice, or if you'll search a 99c store you'll find for about $2.

The only problem with the dollar store cords is they're only a few feet long. I think the OP is looking for something a little longer.

Thanks a lot for the replies, guys.

This would work with the controller, right?

should work but the shipping will kinda kill the price i would buy a couple of cables to make it worth it.

Monster version from Circuit City website for $10.99 if that's what you want.

Not the cheapest, but this seems cheap for those who want this brand.

Monster cables are a no better than any other brand. People who pay the premium price for them are suckers, pure and simple. I can't cite this, but I remember reading an article where the signal quality was compared between two 100 foot HDMI cables, one a Monster, another generic and 1/4 the cost, and there was literally no notable difference.
