FPS doohickey for PS3 is in short supply
SplitFish, a maker of video game hardware, revealed that demand for its gaming peripherals has led to short supply in North America and Europe. Scratch that; the shortage can be felt in Asia, my corner of the globe.
You see, I’m crazy about the company’s new PS3 peripheral, this handy gadget called the FragFX. Maybe you’ve heard of it. Since I’m perpetual pwned in console FPS, and have always been a keyboard/mouse jockey, I’m going gaga over the thing.
For a very brief period last week, when I was still broke thanks to the recent holiday mania, the gadget was available in Play-Asia, my current favorite importer (I miss you Lik-Sang!). When payday rolled by, guess what was the first thing I checked?
It just so happened that when I looked, FragFX was sold out. That means my teammates in Warhawk will continue to hate me. SplitFish said it recently ramped up production of FragFX to meet the consumer demand, but I’ve yet to see new stock.
If you haven’t heard of FragFX, shame on you. This peripheral pretty much lets you play every PS3 shooter using a scheme very similar to the beloved keyboard/mouse combo.
Watch how awesome this gadget can be in action.
For now, I wait. Sigh.
