SONY OFFICIALLY revealed many details about upcoming Playstation 3 hardware. At the game developers conference, held at the Cafe Royal, where George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde used to hobknob, the company decided to provide developers with some more information about the machinery.

We learned that despite having up to seven Bluetooth 2.0 compliant controllers, and six USB slots, and you will also be able to plug in a keyboard and a mouse. The company representative added that you will be able to play games such as Unreal Tournament 2007 with the keyboard and the mouse. This can mean the end of the auto aiming that you now have on Playstation 2, but I guess that developers will need to make the game fit the controller and keyboard and mouse.

Otherwise, if your game is so important, you might take a stand and make people buy a mouse and keyboard for your Playstation 3. At the same time you will be able to use your Playstation portable as a remote device for Playstation 3, but right now won't be able to use it as a controller for games. But you will be able to do some things such as play a video or a song.

With a keyboard and a mouse, the Playstation 3 might be a real threat to the PC. µ

Why dont they just port games from PC to PS3 then?? Then, there will be almost no difference except maybe the higher graphic capabilities of the PS3.
 
Its good news... Atleast for me as i was confused on decideing on the latest consoles when they ht the streets... I am leaning towards PS3 now...
 
this info was out long back.

it was written that the keyboard & mouse on ps3 are supposed to be hid compliant. so we can just plugin our normal usb mice or keyboards.
 
But its good to hear that UT 2007 will be playable with the KB+Mouse... Thats wasnt official first... We were just speculating weather the console version of the game would support KB=Mouse or not the good news is it does... Hope other good game titles also have a support for the same...
