The PS3 controller does not charge when the PS3 is off. I think this is a stupid oversight, but nonetheless hasn't affected my gaming much.

The other stupid oversight is that the USB cord to charge the controller is I think like 3 feet long. So when I'm gaming and relaxing back on my couch playing on an HDTV about ten feet away, and the controller buzzes warning me it's almost out of juice, I have to pull up a chair up close to the TV and be chained to the PS3 3 feet away. To be fair, it's just an annoyance, and obviously not that big of one, otherwise I'd just go buy a longer cable...
