I really can't wait for this peripheral, so I'm just wondering what they mean by 'shipping by the end of the year worldwide'...does it mean that we'll (Aus/NZ) at least be getting it exactly the same day as Europe or Asia?

...I can't be bothered importing.

I'll import it ... looks good, handy for quick messaging.
I couldn't justify purchasing a Logitech diNovo Mini when I'm only using it for a few messages and that's it. It was so expensive.

Yeh it will be coming down here, but we don’t know when it will arrive. I'd assume around the same time as it hits Europe

Yeah! I'm not too sure abot that bottom bit though, hopefully they'll reinforce that bit with some metal, otherwise I can see that snapping off damn quickly

That's an interesting thought Shadowblade.
I'm also wondering if, taking this thing on and off ... will it badly scratch/damage the 'belly' of our DualShocks?

Not from the looks of it, it looks like it will easily "plug in" to the controller from the top...

Oh ... I think I get it now ... the bottom 'clip-on' bit will be flexible, won't it?

So you can pull the keyboard upwards so that you can align the USB ports at the top of your DualShock 3?

Ahhh kinda like a clip, well that would explain the little line on it I guess. I hope it works like that

Yea haha.
I was worried it was going to be align the keyboard first, then "scrape" the bottom of your DS3 when you try to make the keyboard secure. That would piss me off ... don't want a scratched DS3 xD

That raises one important point ... this PS3 Wireless Keypad better not be too expensive. If it is, I'd rather the Logitech diNovo Mini.
