Amazon: PlayStation 3 Wireless Keypad Priced at $50

August 25, 2008 11:31 AM

Online retailer Amazon has tentatively priced Sony's PlayStation 3 Wireless Keypad at $49.99, according to the company's product page.

Amazon also lists the shipping date for the keypad as November 30, which would place the release on the weekend following Black Friday, the biggest day of the year for US retail sales.

Upon the accessory's unveiling last week, Sony noted that the product would arrive in November, but did not provide an official price point.

  You can use a 10 dollar USB keyboard with no special drivers. This is just a gimmick item for people who are too stuck up to use a keyboard.

    LOL! Too stuck up to use a keyboard. Yes, that's why. Not because they don't want to have find where to put a loose keyboard when they're not playing, or how to get that 5 feet of keyboard cable to reach the couch.
