    How would i know what keyboards you can use with ps3. The ps3 isn't out yet and I'm only hearing about the controller. I don't know what usb devices can be used with ps3. But I like to know if there is one because the ps3 has messenger program like msn or yahoo.

    ...well I don't know either, as the PS3 isn't out yet, I'm going by the same thing you are, the internet.If any USB keyboard doesn't work then I'm confident Sony will bring one out, the console can have an OS so I don't see why they wouldn't.
    And my last post had a question mark at the end, so I was asking if anyone could confirm it also.I wasn't patronising you in any way man..

    And Slurms,

    Yeah....you'll have to excuse that, I had two different potential posts in my head when typing that.:D

    Thats so disapointing i was dying to get a PS3 with Assasins Creed game which looks amazing but €650? Im 15 i cant fork out 650 for the console alone! the bloody games r probably gonna cost €100 a piece too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 978 ✭✭✭AceCard Jones


    They won't be €100 a piece, they will be roughly the same as the 360 games.
    Time will tell, but I'm confident that will be the case.

    Hey skating dragon who told you the ps3 is 650 and not 630?

    The games are gonna be around the same price €60.

    You can check these out already on some of the sites

    Funnily enough, that's were I got my assumption from.:)
    If any of the stores think they're going to try and rip me off I'll be shopping online, although at Komplett in particular it wouldn't save you a cent unless you ordered in bulk, as €65 is fine, but add in the minimum of €12 for postage and packing and you have hit €77.:rolleyes:

    I get my games from VideoGamesPlus. About €45 plus postage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 978 ✭✭✭AceCard Jones


    And how much do they charge for postage?And where are they based?
    Sorry, I would check myself but am quite busy at the moment.

    Hey AceCard I found some info on the keyboard. It seems LogiTec have made one. Check the article for more details.

    Nice gadget....horrible price, and for some reason, even though the euro to dollar exchange rate is in our favour (pfft like that ever means anything), I still see this being in or around €80 for us.I'm not too happy about having to pay that much, I may not, I might just wait for the price to drop.

    Please tell me I'm not the only person who thinks that's not reasonable?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 132 ✭✭andyps2.5


    I think it will be €80. Most prices we got on the ps3 are the same ps2 and ps2 gadgets were €80. I do think that using a touch mouse pad attached to the keyboard was a nice touch.

    No worries, they're in Canada and the games I've ordered have arrived quicker than from Play.com.

    Postage seems to be €4.88 so, for example, so you could get something like Burnout 5 (when it's released obviously) for €45.64 + €4.88 postage which comes to €50.52

    I've never had anything stopped by customs from them I must add.

    Yeah that that was pretty cool myself, but still €80....like everything else for it and it itself isn't expensive enough?Can you use the OS and browse the internet etc without it?

    That's a pretty sweet deal, will definitely be using this as a source of games if everywhere physical is over priced.Only thing that's bothering me about this, is that if Sony start to notice a major loss in software sales profits they may make the choice of region coding all games from that period onward.
