PS3 keypad

Source



Quote:
The keypad includes two shortcut buttons, a Communication Button and a Message Box Button, letting users jump to pre-set features on the XMB such as Friends screen and Message Box during game play. Finally, a Touch Pad Button allows PS3 users to use the entire surface of the keypad as a touch pad, allowing them to maneuver the pointer while web browsing by sliding their fingers around the keypad surface.
Looks pretty cool

just get rid of the ps3, then spend all of that development time and money on further advancements in pc technology.

Oh btw, arent they bringing out a new ps3? 40gb was it? Who on earth would have this little attachment for it? looks stupid, should make it wireless and seperate imho.

Meh it's a nice little addition and is exactly the same as the 360 one basically. It is wireless as it's on a wireless controller

The PS3 is a great games system, play on it far more than my PC

I have to say the 360 one is nicer:



Not a fan boy or anything though
