Sony dedicated today's PlayStation Meeting to the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro, due out next week and this November, respectively. After things quieted down, the company distributed a press release announcing revamped accessories.

A modified DualShock 4 matches early versions that leaked to a lucky auction buyer: front-facing lightbar, USB communication support, and a suggested price of $60. You'll be able to get it in red, black, and blue colors.

Sony's new PlayStation Camera boasts a few aesthetic modifications but no changes to its technical underpinnings. It's cylindrical, and can be used with a stand to adjust the angle. It will run $60 as well.

This holiday, you can get your hands on the Platinum Wireless Headset, a $160 high-end device designed for comfort, 7.1 surround sound, a microphone, audio jack, and compatibility with PlayStation VR, set to launch next month.
