PS3: 2 New Peripherals Announced

Los Angeles, CA - June 21, 2007 - Nyko Technologies®, a premier peripherals manufacturer, has shipped two new PlayStation® 3 accessories to retailers nationwide: The ChargeBase, a SIXAXIS controller charger, and the just announced BluWave, an infrared remote control...

I agree that we all need an option for charging the controller, but as far as the remote for blue-ray, hell my sixaxis works fine... But I will be getting the charger

ER1X6908d ago

I'd never buy a product too charge my controller when all I have to do is plug it into the PS3.

Just curious why someone would need a controller charger, no offense. :-)

warfed6908d ago

i plug the controller into my laptop when I'm not on the ps3...

@ER1X

1.When you have a really big screen TV and having just only 6 ft. cord may not be enough and awkward at the same time (an even longer cord will cost money)

2.When you have little rascals or a hyper dog in your home and idea of them tripping over your controller cord is just unacceptable (and annoying to boot).

3.You live in a college dorm and your frat mates party all the time at your place (include the tripping factor from above)

4.You don't like the sight of multiple cords starting from your PS3

5.When you play Ninja Gaiden Sigma (in the near future) and you get frustrated that you furiously throw the controller...at least your PS3 doesn't get (unintentionaly) dragged along with it.

6. Last but not the least, when you are so deathly afraid that your PS3 will overheat (especially after an xbot gives you karma after making fun of the "ring of death") and just want your controller to be wireless (and fully charged before you play), a separate charger is the way to go.

If you really want some money, make a remote that will control the PS3 and my TV/AV components. I will buy it without an afterthought

genix136908d ago

I agree that for me the remote is next to useless, however you have to consider how people less comfortable with the SIXAXIS(a.k.a. parents, etc.) will find it useful because of the more recognizable interface(remote). I think they are the audience that is being targeted with the remote. Also will be getting the charger cause I've become fed up with having to plug the controller and keep the machine running every time it needs to recharge its batteries.

Ebay3rd6908d ago

Well reason being for those who don't leave their playstation on all the time. it allows for Quick charge without unit being on...

Maddens Raiders6908d ago

for the BD player, but that charging unit sounds slick since I already have ports taken for the keyboard, headset, HDD, and PS2 memory card reader.

SmokeyMcBear6908d ago

booo cords coming from the ps3, the only cord I have is for my external HDD, and for now the controller charge. But headset and keyboard? boooo.. bluetooth baby, hehe,, just joshing ya madden. I do wish that sony put that usb in the rear of the console, for the external hdd, thats my only real gripe with the system

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle22d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde29d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy29d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga30d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199230d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga29d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman29d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box30d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion29d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7230d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7530d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit30d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14930d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7730d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
