This ventilated base is certainly very pretty (plastic end, blue LED fans and foam backing), its effectiveness is much worse against. I tested it with my laptop before placing it in the PS3. Verdict: the connection is carefree via USB but against the cooling is not particularly effiace. My computer continues to heat up despite the base. For the PS3, it makes far below ditto but the effectiveness of the ventilation is not good.
Most: + Design, color + Light + USB
Cons: - Poor cooling - Database size compared to the size of the PS3
