Sony PlayStation 3 Video Game Accessories

Sony PlayStation 3 video game accessories are offered by Sony and many after-market manufacturers, allowing you to maximize your entertainment experience. These devices expand on the abilities designed into the console. Replacement components include products such as the Sixaxis wireless controllers and a variety of power cables.

Extras for the device include items that are often sold separately from the gaming console. Components can also include replacement items such as power cords and wireless controllers. There are also video games that require the use of extras, like a wireless headset for online play. The most common additions are:

• Wireless controllers
• Microphone
• Headset
• Charging dock
• Cables

Most of these extras are designed to enhance gameplay. PlayStation microphones, for example, allow players to verbally communicate with other players when playing online. Similarly, a headset can allow players to hear online opponents in real time. On the other hand, an enhanced set of controllers could replace originals that have been worn due to heavy controller use. Wireless controllers are also a useful accessory, because they eliminate the need for cords connected directly to the game console.

Some video game accessories can be used with the PlayStation 4. These are typically restricted to various PlayStation cables. As a rule, items for a console are designed to only work with that particular console. An example is the Sixaxis Wireless Controller. As the official controller for the PS3, it replaces the older Dual Shock controller. These controllers are also compatible with the PS4. These wireless PlayStation components and the Sixaxis controller can be used on the PSP Go with Bluetooth.

There are several audio/visual accessories that are designed to enhance the capabilities of the PlayStation console. These PS3 device components are meant to increase the sound abilities and also add webcam functionality. PS3 Bluetooth wireless headsets are A/V components that are useful for the PS gamer. Other PlayStation 3 items in this category include:
