Sony brings full-capability of the DualShock 4 to the PC and Mac with new accessory

Alongside the announcement of PlayStation Now’s availability on Windows, Sony is introducing a new USB adapter that will bring DualShock4 support to both Windows and OS X. The $29.99 dongle promises to bring “every feature” of the PlayStation 4 gamepad, including full access to “buttons, analog sticks, touch pad, light bar, motion sensors, vibration, and stereo headset jack,” for as long as these features are available on the game you’re playing. The accessory will start shipping next month.

You can already connect the DualShock 4 to the PC via Bluetooth or by using a USB cable but this allows for easier connection and it gives you access to all the capabilities. However, according to The Verge, you can only connect a single controller to the adapter and you’ll just need to use a USB cable to connect the second controller if you want to add another player into the mix.

Sony bumps up prices of PlayStation 4 in Canada

If you thought you’d get a better deal by waiting to get your Sony PlayStation 4, then you’re in for bitter surprise. Sony will increase the price of the console by $50 to $449.99. Sony told the Financial Post that the price hike is due to “changes in the market environment.” No specifics were mentioned but speculation is due to the weakening Canadian Dollar.

Sony is also bumping up the prices of some accessories and games. The Dualshock 4 controller and PlayStation Camera are going to be bumped up to $64.99 from $59.99. And the games MLB The Show ’14 and Infamous: Second Son will sell for $69.99 instead of $59.99.
