As you can see, the PS3's cable is only five feet long, not nearly far enough for anyone to use while playing. It's only a "charge" cable—unless you want to sit up close and incur the wrath of mothers everywhere—as opposed to Xbox 360's "play and charge" cable. Just something to keep in mind.
Update: You could also theoretically plug the PS3 controller into a laptop, a powered USB hub or an Xbox 360 sitting next to you on the couch, but that's a kludge.
