Sony Tablet S update lets you play with PS3 controllers, but you’ll need a cable adapter

We’ve got some good news for gamers that were willing to plunge into the PlayStation-certified world of Sony’s tablets. The latest update to the company’s divisive Tablet S will let you connect your PS3 controllers with those 32-bit games of yesteryear. The update is available now in Sony’s homeland of Japan and the company is also rewarding its tablet faithful with a free download; an Ape Escape-themed mini-game collection. It’s not all good news, however. The clamshelled Tablet P doesn’t get the controller hook-up and you’ll need to buy an additional USB adapter cable to connect a controller to the monoscreened Tablet S. However, an odd thing is that you’ll only need to the cable to initially pair the controller with the tablet. After that, you’re free to wirelessly play away.
