Sony has pinned down a solid release date for its upcoming Wireless Keypad for PlayStation 3 in the UK.

According to Eurogamer, the accessory will be released on November 28, priced at approximately GBP 24.99.

Unveiled at the Leipzig Games Convention, the Wireless Keypad fits snugly on the back of a PS3 Sixaxis or DualShock 3 pad, allowing for a much more comfortable use of the PS3’s web browser.

Features include a touchpad, along with a number of handy shortcut buttons for quick access to Communication and Messagebox.

    @Daver, thats just what i heard, im plannig on getting this headset anyways good or bad, i already have a USB headset too to go with my keyboard, but if i can go wireless why not, play.com should make a deal get both the keyboard and the headset for £30 in a bundle, im sure they would make a lot o money.

    anyways im off to preorder both
