PS3 Peripherals officially priced for the US
Well, we knew it was coming... so we'll make it quick. Kind of quick. The Gamer's Day event brought about the announcement of the PS3's pricing for their peripherals. We of course mean the SIXAXIS, the memory card adaptor, and the remote control of bluetooth awesome. Just like the XBox 360 controller, the SIXAXIS is going to run you $50. Now, it may seem like a lot, but you're getting extra motion sensing capabilities! Well, it depends on if you're into the motion sensing thing. But it does seem like a good deal unless rumble and motion sensing are the exact same amount to incorporate. The controller is also $10 cheaper than the Wiimote + nunchuk controller (c'mon, you've practically got to get the nunchuk for some of the games).
The memory card adaptor is $15 bucks -- so you and two friends can split the cost quite nicely at $5 each. The remote control is $25 -- but it's not coming out at launch so you can recoup some of those funds before deciding whether or not to get it. What do you guys think? Are these prices as ridiculous as some may claim? We don't think so -- don't get us wrong, $50 for a controller is expensive, but it has become the norm and there's nothing we can do about that.
