Hey all, just added an extra usb port to my ps3 slim and want to share this tutorial of how I did it.
You will need the following:
A good solder gun.
A knife or blade
usb extension lead.
I wont bore anyone with how to open the ps3 slim.
This is the location of where I placed the usb port. Its a tight squeze so be sure to cut in the right place. Try it yourself for the best spot.

I opened it to spray it so it was open anyway, I would have added more but this is my OFW ps3 so I only wanted it to use my camera without having the cable hanging out of the front, also unlike the fat ps3 all the components in the slim are tightly packed it so there is not much room inside.

Thats true but you still have the sh1t cables hanging out of the front of your ps3, You would think when sony were designing ps3 they would have just done it in the first place.
