Even with today's wireless video game controllers, you can't stay untethered forever. After a few hours of gaming on the PlayStation 3, you'll have to plug in that SIXAXIS or DualShock 3 USB cable to charge. Starting December 18th, Sony Japan will offer an AC adapter intended for PS3 controllers at a price of ¥2,800 (just under $30). Like third party solutions we've seen, it has two USB ports so you'll be able to do two controllers or toss in a Bluetooth headset. Nothing yet on availability outside of Japan, but if we get word we'll be all over it, 'cause we feel slightly guilty for leaving the PS3 on overnight to charge -- what with the world's dwindling energy supply and all.

Am I right in assuming that this will charge anything that can be charged via USB?

I'd say so

Could just use a PC too... I'd imagine the computer junkies at engadget would know this and do this instead of leaving their PS3 on; since I imagine their PCs are never turned off...

I use my Wii solely for charging my PS3 controllers

pretty expensive charger, but I cant bring myself to give up all hope in Nintendo and sell it
