Get a second SIXAXIS pad for around $42

Sony of Japan has announced prices for PS3 peripherals, including the SIXAXIS controller - the new name for Sony's wireless, rumble-less DualShock replacement - as well as the USB Memory Card adapter (used for transferring PS2 or PSone saved games to PS3's hard drive) and the console's remote control.

A new SIXAXIS controller - which can be used as either a wireless or a USB-connected controller - will set you back 5,000 yen (roughly $42). Sony states that the wireless controller will operate up to 30 hours on a full charge, a similar length of time to Xbox 360's wireless pad.
