Some PlayStation 3 accessories to consider

Got a playstation 3? If so, then you might be looking to purchase some accessories to enhance your gaming experience.

Heres a few which are worth considerin. Enjoy

Official Wireless Sony Black Sixaxis Controller

Unless your Billy no mates, one of the first thing’s you’ll want to buy is an extra controller and the official Sony controller is by far the best.

It’s cool, it charges via usb and the battery lasts for ages - what more can you ask for!

Price : Some shops are selling the controller for as much as £35 however you can pick it up for £27.99 at Play and Amazon.

Official PlayStation 3 Blu Ray Disc Remote Control

If, like me, you use your PS3 to watch DVD’s frequently then the official Blu Ray remote is a must. The basic PS3 controller can be used to watch DVD’s but it’s cumbersome at best. The remote works perfectly and it’s sleek black design is sure to please most people. Recommended for those who watch a lot of films on their console.

Price : Retails for £14.99

Vertical Stand with USB Hub

I purchased the 4gamers vertical stand from amazon a few weeks ago. Some of you may question the need for a stand at all but I have been very pleased with it. It keeps your ps3 secure and the additional usb port comes in very handy (the stand actually has two usbs but you need to use one usb on your ps3 to connect the stand). The blue neon light might not be to everybody’s taste but there is a button to switch it off so don’t let the neon put you off from buying it.

Price : Retails for £14.98 at Amazon

HDMI Cable

Got a High Definition television? Well you’ll need a good quality HDMI cable to connect your ps3!

Price : Price varies and depends on the length and quality of the cable.

PlayStationEye Camera & EyeCreate

I’ve not personally come across a game which has been enhanced by the use of the PS camera however for £25 it does sound like good value for anyone who wants a camera for their ps3.

Price : Retails for around £25

Bluetooth Headset

Wanna chat with your online buddies? Then you need to invest in a bluetooth headset!

Price : Prices vary and depend on the quality of the headset.

Racing Wheel

Something which I’m sure racing enthusiasts will want to invest in. I’ve personally never owned one but I’ve heard that they are pretty good.With GT5 just around the corner, iit’s something which I’m sure a lot of ps3 gamers will consider.

Price : Prices vary between different driving wheels.

Controller Dual Charging Dock

When I first came across the dual charging dock I thought it was a waste of money as you can just charge your controllers through a usb cable. However, 40gb ps3 owners who only have 2 usb ports will strongly consider this. For only £8, it’s a good buy in my opinion and a good way to store your controllers neatly when your not playing.

Price : £7.98 from Amazon

Arcade Fighting Stick

The hori fighting stick is a must for tekken fans.

Price : Usually between £25 and £30
