Work with PSP? It's going to block the middle of the PSP screen though ... (assuming it works, which I seriously doubt)

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

I have been scraping my brand new ds3, with a cigarette lighter for a week now while playing the olympics game and not a mark on it so far. They are pretty sturdy.

Yep!

We're all here, because we love the Playstation oh so much. If we didn't, we wouldn't be on this site.

We don't go over to MyWii and My360 to "spread the love". If they don't want a Playstation, it's their choice. Their loss, they're missing out (subjective )

I juts read this regarding peoples negativity towards this new contraption...

Aus/NZ Official PS Forums:

It's not like you have to have it attached to your controller to use it (it seems some people have skimmed over the part where it is a Bluetooth device which has its own in-built power supply).

So the argument of ergonomics is kind of moot, since

you can use it attached to, or free from, your SIXAXIS or DualShock3.



Note: The most important bits are in BOLD.

How to hold the PS3 controller if you want to switch between playing games and typing with the new keypad attachment...and if this doesn't work, detach it altogether.

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.



You can get them relativity cheap now if you look in the right places.

Cause id wouldnt mind getting this or the diNovo Mini... but it all comes down to price and i dont see this keypad being cheap.

Yeh you can. It's a terrible design. See? It's all subjective. Now stop talking about the 360.

Some of us should really get over which keypad is better.

If it pisses you off that much, sell your Playstation and get the Xbox 360.

It's not that important ... hell, you can get a Logitech bluetooth keyboard if the keypad pisses you off that much.

It looked interesting when I found out about it this morning, but just then I held my controller in my hands and tried imagining this thing on the top... Not exactly comfortable. Lucky it's just a prototype.

you dont even have to have it on your controler to work. Its just a blu tooth keyboard so you can have it unatached if you want.

But then would it be comfortable to use on its own? Plus, if it did integrate well with the controller it'd be much more convenient since you wouldn't have to put the controller down.
