The PlayStation 3 controller keypad will not be available in North America until December. The reason for the delay is unknown, but the wait won’t be much longer than we already expected. When announced at Leipzig, the suggested release date for North America was “late November.”
The information comes from Sony’s vice president of sales Ian Jackson during an engagement at the BMO Capital Markets Interactive Entertainment Conference. Somehow an enthusiast press member was able to stay awake long enough to record this information.
The keypad will work with both the super light SIXAXIS controller and the DUALSHOCK 3. While this fancy typing codpiece won’t make you an instant hit with the Internet ladies, at least you’ll be able to send them messages more effectively, thus decreasing your total stalking time.
