sorry bro but this has been posted a few days ago, its a neat idea but its not something i would want. Makes the controller too weird looking. I'll stick with my Logitech MediaBoard for Texting. And i'm guessing the price would be similar to the price of a DS3 Controller.

All I have to say is...YUCK!

Maybe I'm too "old school", wanting just a regular keyboard sitting in front of me

Does sony think it's original if they put the keyboard on top of the controller instead of underneith? I mean, they could have been a little more original.

How can you be original with a controler keybord. Do you want it to shoot lazers or something.

You make no sense, how about you go out and buy a PS3 before making comments like this. If you had a PS3 you'd clearly notice the only OUTLET on the controller is the USB outlet which is located ON TOP OF THE CONTROLLER...:roll:

Easy there buddy...I own a ps3 and it's the only console I own now..so your sounding like an idiot.

I know why it's on the top..that's not really my point. My point was that it's pretty much a rip-off feature from the 360 with really nothing else offered.....other than it's on the top.

And to answer the idiot above, no it doesn't have to shoot lazers...but i'm sure they brains at Sony could have thought of something to separate this from the 360 keyboard. Otherwise it just looks like Sony is trying to play catchup, as with the online features.

that "idot above" called you out! seriously, what more do you expect from it? it's a damn keyboard attached to your controller. you can't do much more with that, genius.

Logitec has an awesome new usb qwerty keyboard with a thumb stick mouse control. I'd get it if it wasn'y $120.

I'm a man of humble finances.

hahaha i don't know why, but that last sentence made me laugh. seriously though, who here isn't? if only we all had a little more money... who knows, maybe we could invest in a more creative and ground-breaking keyboard for our controllers? one that'd please bezaire and make him happy lol.
