According to Joystiq, Sony’s VP of Sales, Ian Jackson, has announced that the previously delayed keypad for SIXAXIS controllers will be arriving during the first week of December 2008.

Sure,  you could just use a USB keyboard, a Bluetooth headset or just tap out those letters one by one on the SIXAXIS controller but then you wouldn’t get the luxury of paying $50 for a clip-on mini keypad.

However, should you want to use the keypad because you’ve never used a real keyboard, type way too much on your cell phone or just like blowing lots of cash. You can pick up the keypad at retailers on the first week of December 2008 for, again, $50.

Sorry, but that’s as much as the controller itself and almost twice that of a USB keyboard. Go figure.
