PS3 wireless keypad priced and dated, easier password entry costs fifty bucks

Several days ago, Sony unveiled their wireless keypad device at Leipzig without any details on pricing or release date. GamingBits found a nice little entry on Amazon, which lists the keypad at the low, low price of $49.99 and shows its release as November 30th. As you can see, Sony is highly invested in shipping out all of its “must have” peripherals just in time for the Christmas season.

Sadly, the keypad looks like something Joel Schumacher would put on Batman. In addition to its ugliness, I can’t even glean the desire to use this over a traditional keyboard. Are little keypads the answer for our text woes on consoles?

To be honest, I think this has a lot more to do with Home than it does with matching Microsoft’s peripheral. Home in November/December confirmed? I suppose we’ll see.
