It is said that the Nyko Media Hub can be used with the console by just hooking up through the USB port. The three additional USB ports allow gamers to connect three USB devices such as flash drives, PSP, MP3 players and additional controllers.
“We found that many of our customers who had purchased the popular 40 GB version of the PS3, which has less USB ports and no media card reader, were looking for an affordable solution to expand with these features.
