Recommendation Needed - USB Extender for PS3 Eye

[Midnight Rambler]

First off, bear with me as I am a newbie to the PS3, it's my first-ever console (Thank you Sony Rewards ... :biggrin🙂

Anyways, I have the PS3 320GBer with Move bundle, and am trying to set it up in my home theater/area. As I have all my gear in two racks in a location separate from the TV and speakers, with lots of in-wall and other hidden wiring running to the listening/viewing area, I'm searching for a way to connect the Eye camera to the PS3 system unit.

I thought that at 20-25 feet total (Eye's cable + length of extension), I would be able to use something like this :

Despite reviewers on MP saying this cable worked with their PS3 Eye (USB 2.0), it's not cutting it for me, too much lag.

I wonder if I need a better cable ? MP cables are OK, and I've long been acutely aware of the Monster/UltraLink/et al "ripoffs", but they (MP) pale in comparison to a Blue Jeans cable for example. But alas, BJ doesn't do any USB extenders.

Alternately, do I need to look at USB over CAT5 instead ?

Thanx,
MR

First of all, are you sure the lag isn't from the TV itself? Some TVs add lag as they process the image.

If it's not the TV, I would look into just a straight USB extension cable or 2 with a powered USB hub. It should add no lag at all.
