If that $15 off $8 promo were reliable, I'd be all over this. It'd be pretty nice to have more power strips integrate USB charging- cell phones, mp3 players, PDAs, digital cameras, etc could all be charged with one non-bulky cable.

#1, what happened to the "Redeem Now" button? The page is up but there's no button to click.

Nice integration with the USB charging; however, the power squids seem to be the best option to avoid "wall warts" from getting in the way of other outlets.

I bought this for travel, but it is bulkier than I expected.

For cheap one- you can go any hardware store for it. For electronics device like PC, LCD TV- tripp lite only for me.

For travel, I take a short a/c extension cord and a grounded cube adapter that fits 3 wall warts, not side-by-side like this one.

Just so you know, this will NOT charge your PS3 controllers. Probably not enough current draw. I bet it's limited to 500mA total. I also tried it with a dual USB A to mini cable and that didn't work either.
Otherwise, this is still a great surge protector. The ability to rotate and charge my cell phones and other low current USB devices is great.

Thanx #9, that just killed it for me. I was hopeful it could drive up to 1A @ 5V on the USB ports. I'm always looking for that, and not merely only 500mA.
