i think the ps3 has to be on because the lights on controler don't flash when the ps3 is off but i'm not positive.

just buy a second controler that way odds are one always has a full charge, that or just plug it in and watch a tv show it'll be charged by the time its over.

It does need to be turned on, though you can also charge it via the USB ports on your PC too.

...that's what I do as my PC's almost on constantly, unlike my PS3.
