By gonzo.pete on Thursday, March 22nd, 2007 comments

O.K you've spent more time queing for the PS3 than you do talking to your own mother. So what now (if you've got any money left) do you buy to compliment your new best friend.

There are already quite a few interesting accessories available/listed for the PS3 although the most desirable seem to be "coming soon" teasers. But hey you've waited this long for the console you can wait a little longer for the nick-nacks.

Seems Amazon has a rather long list of add on's. The benefit of buying there being good value and money off when combined with the console itself.

First up.

The vertical stand and USB Hub

Not an official Sony product but it looks good so who cares.
This stand will hold you PS3 securely veritcal and adds an additional 2 USB ports (via the consoles USB).
Stylish finish with glowing blue lights and LED on/off switch.

Costs £14.50 from homeandgardengifts

Blu-Ray Remote Control

Of course you'll need a remote control for..............well not getting of your arse to access all the PS3's Blu-Ray features.

Works using Bluetooth so no more frantic pointing and waving.

Costs £14.99 from powerplaydirect

Controller Dock/Charger

The controller dock does just what it says. It will charge your wireless controller and look pretty stylish next to your glowing PS3 stand.
It comes with USB connection via PS3 console, LED Light On/Off Switch & LED Light Colour Switch.

Costs £12.99 from gameseek

FragFX Mouse Controller

One thing that PC gamers have over console gamers is the ability to aim faster and more accurately via the mouse than a joypad.
This mouse/controller set will see PS3 users leveling the playing field and bringing insta-aim/look around to the your fingertips.
It it expected to be available by about mid-April and will come in two versions. Wired and wireless, costing $59.99 (£30) & $69.99 (£35) respectively.

As you'll no doubt be spending hours at a time playing, its comforting to know the insides of your PS3 won't be melting and that precious processor will be kept cool.

O.K so lets hope thats enough to get you started and take you right through till next payday when, no doubt, there will be a multitude of new handy add-ons available.
