PS3 needs REAR USB ports. - Blu-ray Forum

GRRRR, I hate having stuff coming out the front. I can see the point of having front USB's but can't we have rear ones for permanent camera/HDD connection?

To top it off, they have 4 of the blighters.. Too messy imo.

I saw the modded USB rear on youtube.

I agree. To messy having the usb ports in the front.

I could make a dirty joke here but I'll refrain.

.....you're welcome.

turn your PS3 so theyre on the left?

disc drive would still be up front and easily accesible.

Use a USB hub, connect one wire, and put the hub behind your PS3. Problem solved.

If you have external Slim USB 6-ports, you can plug in one of the 2-4 USB ports and mount the external Slim at the rear.

they should have included 1 USB port on the rear for people to attach hubs to. that way you can expand the system without a punch of wires sticking out.

Wireless USB in a year or 2 would be nice!
