Blue and Red PS3 controllers in October
North America has long been neglected by console makers in terms of color schemes. Sure, we have a Black Xbox 360 and the like but when it comes to the Playstation 3, nada. Japan, on the other hand, has been graced with several different color controllers and even consoles.
Luckily Sony has taken notice and reportedly plans to release a “Deep Red” and “Metallic Blue” version of the Dual Shock 3 controllers sometime this October.

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.
