Sony Reveals PS3 AC Controller Adapter

Sure, you can plug your Playstation 3 controller into the console for some quick charging action but let’s be honest, it’s no match against the 360’s Play-and-Charge kit.

Sony, however, has just brought a new option to the table. Let’s say your sitting 10 feet away from your TV, next to a power outlet, and your controller needs a juice up. Enter Sony’s SIXAXIS/Dual Shock 3 AC adapter which allows you to charge a controller using any standard power outlet, something that could come in handy given the circumstances. That’s not all though, this AC adapter includes 2 USB ports, so you can keep not 1 but 2 PS3 controllers juiced up and ready to play at once.

Engadget reports that come December 18th, this thing will go on sale in Japan for a bit under $30 unfortunately, at this time, there is no word on avaliability elsewhere. We’ll keep you posted.
