Sony seeks official PlayStation peripherals -- offers logo, good time

Do you dream of big plastic tennis-rackets and steering-wheel snap-ons for Sony's upcoming motion controller? Yeah, then why not build them yourself? Sony Computer Entertainment has launched its Official Licensing Program that gives accessory and peripheral makers in Japan, Asia, North America, and Europe access to all the PS3, PSP, and PS2 tech documents and schematics required to qualify your product for an "Official Licensed Product" logo. Sure, you'll likely have to hand over some cash for the privilege, but imagine the bank that awaits the person who converts the glowing orb atop Sony's motion controller into the very first official PS3 lightsaber.

She must say that a lot to you.

"Imagine the bank that awaits the person who converts the glowing orb atop Sony's motion controller into the very first official PS3 lightsaber."

When you're done imagining this, complete the story: imagine what that bank will look like once LucasArts is through with that person in court.

Gaystation gets its comeback...

For god's sake Engadget - start using the word "and" in your titles. They make a lot more sense if you do.

"Sony and seeks and official and PlayStation and perifpherals -- offers and logo, good and time"

[AMiSH PiRATE @ Jun 30th 2009 6:13AM]

thank heavens they at least had the common sense to use a comma. Imagine the nonsense of Sony offering a logo a good time!

[richb93 @ Jun 30th 2009 8:21PM]

alternatively use a semi-colon?

[pika2000 @ Jun 30th 2009 4:24AM]

I thought there are already officially licensed PS2 controllers and memory cards. I guess this mean now we will see 3rd party PS3 controllers connected natively using bluetooth instead of a dongle, or maybe there's one already?

[darkmax @ Jun 30th 2009 4:48AM]

Is it just me, or do I sense hostility or jealousy in the words of the article?

[Jeanno @ Jun 30th 2009 5:00AM]

I think this article is already good enough. See all bias articles towards Sony out there?

[Wizardhowl @ Jun 30th 2009 4:55AM]

wow this is so stupid, what games will support peripherals that 1/10th (if its even that high) that the user base has. I only seeing this creating more confusion when the actual motion sensing wand comes out.

[deanb @ Jun 30th 2009 4:59AM]

I think were talking 3rd party controllers, headsets, keyboards, etc.

[Austin @ Jun 30th 2009 5:12AM]

wow... this picture has been used how many times now?

[skyzbig @ Jun 30th 2009 6:10AM]

Blades of Chaos please!

[stelp77 @ Jun 30th 2009 7:04AM]

A Jedi lazer sword please! And hurry up! :D

[Wam @ Jun 30th 2009 7:11AM]

Cue in Numus troll in 3... 2... 1...

[Numus @ Jun 30th 2009 11:00AM]

Looks even more like a dildo now...

[benahad @ Jun 30th 2009 9:48AM]

That's the biggest cherry popsicle i've ever seen...

[lanejasper69 @ Jun 30th 2009 1:57PM]

COCKHOLDER, it's in the game!
