The PS3 SIXAXIS is a controller that is nearly identical to that of the predecessor’s DualShock. The SIXAXIS features finer analogue sensitivity, more trigger-like R2 and L2 buttons, a PS button, and a USB mini-B port for charging the internal battery and use for wired play. There are four numbered LED indicators as well, to identify and distinguish multiple wireless controllers. The PlayStation 3 supports up to 7 simultaneous controllers over Bluetooth. The SIXAXIS is named for its ability to detect motion in the full six degrees. Unlike the previous DualShock however, this new controller has no vibration feature; Sony says this would interfere with the motion sensor. The controller will retail for US$50.
The PlayStation 3 Memory Card Adaptor is a device that allows data to be transferred to and from the PlayStation & PlayStation 2 memory cards to the PlayStation 3’s hard disk. The device is a cable that connects to the PS3’s USB port on one end, and features a legacy PlayStation 2 memory card port on the other end. The adaptor will be available for purchase simultaneously with the console’s launch, at a price of JP¥1500 (including tax) in Japan, and US$14.99 in the United States.
Using Bluetooth, the PlayStation 3 BD Remote allows users to easily control videos and music on Blu-ray Disc and DVD. In Japan, the device will be available starting December 7, 2006, and will cost JP¥3,800. The device will be available in North America in December for US$24.99. The Blu-Ray movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby will be included with the initial 500,000 release copies of the PS3 in North America.
Official PS3 HDMI cables will retail for $50. No HDMI cable will be included with the PS3 system
