Sony has announced that the wireless keypad accessory and AC adapter for the PlayStation 3 will be launching in Japan on December 18th 2008. The wireless keypad accessory supports Bluetooth 2.0 and has the full QWERTY layout. The accessory will be compatible with both the SIXAXIS and DualShock 3 controllers. The AC adapter lets you charge your controller without having to attach it to a PS3. It also has two extra USB ports that lets you charge other peripherals like the wireless keypad or a headset. You can even use it to charge your PSP Slim or the new PSP-3000.
The keypad will be supported in games like LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2 and even PlayStation Home. The keypad will retail for ¥5,500 (approx $55) and the AC adapter will retail for ¥2,800 (approx $28).
It’s about time, top trumps!
