What your PS3 needs is a wireless keypad. Well maybe that’s not exactly what your PS3 needs but it’s definitely coming. The wireless keypad will arrive sometime in the first month of December and it will cost just $49.99. In case you’re scheduling your holiday money to include the keyboard then maybe you will be interested in the multi-purpose twin port AC adapter which will get juice to a DualShock 3, SIXAXIS, Sony Bluetooth and evidently, the new keypad. The adapter will retail for $24,99 and it will be available in December too.

How do you like what you see? It’s a good looking Bluetooth headset from Socom with a PlayStation logo on it. That doesn’t mean this Bluetooth is made for PS3 usage only. It will work with your handset and laptop like any other regular Bluetooth headset.

The next-gen console war is going to get a lot more uglier in 2008 by all indications. Nintendo’s Wii has already found its niche with its innovative and cool way of playing games with the Wiimote and Sony PS3’s superior hardware is slowly gaining ground, but where does the Xbox stand in 2008? The Xbox Elite and Premium were great successors but the next big step is yet to come. Sure enough, Microsoft isn’t lazing around but is working on its next version of the Xbox, dubbed “360 Ultimate.” If the rumors are to be believed, the new Xbox 360 Ultimate will boast features such as built-in WiFi, high-definition audio output, 1080p HDMI, 65nm hardware architecture, and a “near-silent” fan. It will also have a monstrous 320GB HDD to accommodate Xbox’s upcoming IPTV service. But the icing on the cake will be the built-in HD-DVD drive, giving Microsoft the much needed edge in the ongoing next-gen format war.

All this and much more will be revealed come this autumn 2008.
