http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/12/sonys.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/16/sony-tablet-s-update-lets-you-play-with-ps3-controllers-cable-a/)We've got some good news for gamers that were willing to plunge into the PlayStation-certified (http://www.engadget.com/tag/playstation+certified/) world of Sony's tablets. The latest update to the company's divisive Tablet S (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/31/sony-tablet-s-preview/) will let you connect your PS3 controllers with those 32-bit games of yesteryear. The update is available now in Sony's homeland of Japan and the company is also rewarding its tablet faithful with a free download; an Ape Escape-themed mini-game collection. It's not all good news, however. The clamshelled Tablet P (http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/25/sony-tablet-p-available-online-the-p-is-short-for-pricey/) doesn't get the controller hook-up and you'll need to buy an additional USB adapter cable to connect a controller to the monoscreened Tablet S. A briefly worded, vaguely translated release awaits after the break.
Update: We've heard from Japanese users that you'll only need to the cable to initially pair the controller with the tablet. After that, you're free to wirelessly play away.
