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.

:rofl:

Well it's cheaper than most PCs, and it'll probably be one of the strongest things you can buy. That's scary to think about.

But it's cute and funny he thinks the era of the TV computer will rise again.

Same. I like knowing the money I spent on my computer is easily customizeable and provides years of enjoyment even though it costs more. I just like the fact I can do whatever I want with it :D

By the time PS3 hits anyways, we will have another generation or 2 of PC Graphics cards out. If PS3 is only slightly more powerful then the 7800GTX, then by the time PS3 hits next year, we will have video cards that will be better then 7800GTX's already, easily.

Did we all forget that the PS3 isn't just a computer?

There'll be games on it. Games.

Commodore did that.

No, really, I'm telling you guys. If PS3 is a full-fledged computer, the market will crash again. We've been through it already.

If the PS3 is a full fledged computer, Sony is going to take it in the ass from Microsoft.
