Find Cheap PS3 Accessories

Looking to add some accessories to your Playstation 3? You're in luck, because there are plenty of things to buy for your PS3. These include extra wireless controllers, Blu Ray remotes, racing wheels, and more. Check out these steps to help you find your next PS3 accessory at bargain basement prices!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Internet accesss
  • A browser
  • A budget
  1. Step 1

    Check out Game Stop online for any used and refurbished PS3 accessories. Online, you may be able to find really good deals on wireless controllers and racing wheels. If you are in the market for cooling systems, they tend to offer a few of those as well.

  2. Step 2

    Look on Craigslist. Craigslist is a great resource to find the more expensive accessories for the Playstation 3, like the Logitech Cordless Mediaboard, premium HDMI cables and Logitech racing wheels. Although the PS3 is a successful video game console, it tends to be sold and traded more often then the Xbox or the Wii. It shouldn't be too hard to find someone in your local area who is looking to pawn off their Playstation 3 and its controllers. This is especially useful if you are looking for the older PS3 systems with Playstation 2 playback compatibility.

  3. Step 3

    Find cheaper PS3 accessories like the Blu Ray remote on Ebay. Ebay is a great place to find deals on Playstation 3 accessories like the remote. You may be able to find people who are selling their used PS3 accessories in a bundle. How great would it be to get a few Dual Shock Sixaxis controllers for $30 to $40?

  4. Step 4

    If you are in the market for a new PS3 console and want accessories right away, consider getting a bundle at Walmart or Target. The reason for this is that they may package a $50 controller like the Dual Shock Sixaxis for much cheaper if you buy a Playstation 3 as well. Not only that, you usually get a game or two in a bundle.

  5. Step 5

    When all else fails, check Amazon. They can offer used PS3 headsets, Sixaxis controllers, memory card adapters, and more if you look around. They also offer combo deals as well, where if you buy one controller you can get another one for half off.

Tips & Warnings
  • Look online. Although you may have to pay shipping, there are usually enough promotional codes and web sites offering up deals at any one time to compensate for that.
  • Don't buy an accessory you don't really need! For example, the PS3 Blu Ray remote is fantastic if you watch a lot of movies on your Playstation. However, if you don't, why spend the extra $20? Just use your controller!
