Wii & PS3 charging stands - $20 (reg. $30) at Costco

[CoconutJoe]

Charger and two lithium battery packs - reg. $29.99 on sale for $19.99


I have always eyed the InCharge Dual Charge Station for the Wii when walking past it in my local Costco. I wasn't too crazy about the $30 price, though, and figured I would just order one from Monoprice. Well today, lo and behold, the prices were marked down $10 off for both the Wii and PS3 chargers. Needless to say, I grabbed one for my Wii (item #169975).

Very good reviews on Amazon for the Wii charger. You don't have to remove the silicon sleeves as there are no contacts to line up. It just charges right through them!

This was at the St. Catharines, ON store. Not sure if this is nationwide so YMMV.

It doesn't look like will work with the new motionplus attached.

I was the Markham East store last week and saw the sign for the charger...but alas no charger in stock. I just assumed it was a local store thingy. Looks like i need to go on the hunt for the charger at other stores now. thanks OP

Good buy! Went out and bought a set at Windsor Costco

That's correct. The Wii charging kit mentioned above comes with special lithium polymer battery packs that replace the AA's batteries and the original Wii remote battery compartment door.

You're probably right. Are there any charger stands that can do that?

Great for those who don't have/want/need the Motionplus (and for PS3 users too).

so what does this ps3 charging stand look like?

[mlc2000]

I have a Wii charging station I bought at Costco.
It works fine but there's no accommodation for the wrist strap.

When the strap is attached, its just a little too tall to sit in the charging tray and the contacts do not touch.

I find I have to take off the wrist strap to charge it.
Frankly it would be nice to take the batteries off the nunchuk and charge them on their own.

I didn't pay attention to the PS3 version, but I would assume it looks like this:

It must be different than the InCharge brand, because there are no contacts on this one.

So, I never even paid attention to my PS3 controller, but are the battery packs replaceable? If so, does the PS3 stand come with packs, like the Wii one?

No, DS3/SixAxis has built-in non-removable battery packs.

What, these are induction chargers??

If so, I'm grabbing two! No more having to rip my silicone sleeves off everytime I need to recharge my batteries.
