So after searching for the best deals on PS3 consoles, you finally make your selection. Whether you’ve decided to go with the “Fat” or “Slim”, the 80, 120, 160 or 250 GB, that shiny (or matte) black box is finally in your home, waiting to be played. But don’t think that your shopping is done. If you want to get the most out of your new gamer’s paradise, you need to keep looking at a few other cheap PS3 deals– and yeah, we’re talking about accessories and add-ons. While these won’t rack up the same kind of bill that the console did, they will add a lot to your gaming experience, and because of that, they’re something you definitely need to think about.
The first must-have PS3 deal of the day is the DualShock 3 wireless controller. This is the most popular PS3 controller by far, and if you didn’t get one when you bought your console, you need to do so now. For one thing, it has special pressure sensors that let you feel the rumble of every impact that happens on screen, really taking you into the game. It’s wireless, running on Bluetooth technology, which allows you the freedom of movement so that you don’t have to worry about wires when you have more pressing things on your mind. You can even play with up to seven friends at once, so call that gaming party on. If you’re looking for PS3 controller deals, it really doesn’t get any better than this– at least, not until we get to the next item on our list.
Item number two are the PS3 Dual Triggers. These little add-ons will fit on either the DualShock 3 controllers or the SIXAXIS controllers, whichever you happen to be using. They add a bit of height, grip, and comfort to your controller’s existing triggers, giving you an edge on accuracy and tricky maneuvering. They are extremely affordable at less than $5 a pair, and if you’re like most people who give them a try, you’ll never want to go back to playing any other way.
Next on the list of our homemade PS3 bundle recommendations is the PlayStation 3 Energizer Power & Play charging system. This docking station will store and charge up to four controllers at once, in just two and a half hours, so if you see that your controllers are running low on juice, you don’t have to panic. And one great thing about it is that you can even leave them charging overnight– it won’t damage your controllers if you keep them charging once that little green light has gone on.
One last thing that you won’t want to leave out is the PS3 Blu-Ray remote. If you forget about this guy you’re not even coming close to letting your console live up to its capabilities. Being able to watch HD quality films without shelling out the cash for an HD or Blu-Ray player is one of the finest features of the PS3, at least for folks who like to enjoy more passive entertainment as well. And since this remote works on Bluetooth technology, you don’t have to get up from the couch to point it exactly at the right angle.
As you can see, there’s more to buying a PlayStation than just finding the right PS3 console deals. If any of these items were missing when you made your big purchase, you’ll want to get them now, and start reaping the benefits.
