U.S. prices for PS3 peripherals announced

For everyone who's aiming to get themselves a PS3 this season, it's time to check your budget as the prices for PS3 peripherals have now been announced. As stated at Sony's recent Gamer's Day event which was held in San Francisco, the price for the PS3's accessories are as follows:

• wireless SIXAXIS controller - US$ 49.99 each
• Memory Card Adapter - US$ 14.99
• The Blu-Ray Disc Remote Control - US$ 24.99
• games - US$ 60.00

Though not all of these accessories are required, some of them may force you to shell out some extra moolah. For one thing, one will ofcourse have to buy at least one extra controller since playing alone can get a bit lonely. On the plus side, if you plan to have a party, since the PS3 can wirelessly support up to seven controllers at once, this then gets rid of the need for a mulri-tap. Then there's the Memory card adaptor. Though this isn't needed for saving your PS3 games, this will be required for your PS2 and PS1 memory cards so that you can make full use of the PS3's backwards compatibility.

So, as we start doing the math, we're sort of starting to wish the we started saving up earlier, especially if the games would indeed be coming in for US$ 60 a pop.
