When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S 4, they also mentioned a handful of accessories that would go on sale with it. The gamepad was officially shown and sparked quite a bit of interest, especially since it supported devices with up to 6.3 inch screens. If you've been keeping up at home, the Note III is rumored to sport a 6.3 inch screen. Anyway, Samsung didn't give much details about the pricing of their gamepad, but today we've got some official news on preorders. Unfortunately, the gamepad will set you back $112.99, which is fairly expensive for a game controller, even one that cradles a 5 inch smartphone.

Personally, I'm sticking with my Power A MOGA controller. I'm generally pretty supportive of Samsung, but it's hard to pay double for something just because it has a Samsung logo on the top. Anybody going to be preordering one of these?
