The official Ps3 thread

I'm thinking of buying a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to use with my PS3. I noticed someone selling one on an auction site which said they are compaitible but was wondering if anyone else has heard this? Obviousley my first choice for one would be OcUK and I quite like the look of this one http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-075-LG
I was just about to install Linux on my PS3 when I realised I dont have a USB keyboard to plug in!

Try it again http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/products/ydl/ if it still doesn't work then just google Yellow Dog Linux for PS3.dazsly said:

yep cannot wait for this on the 360
, but lets hope they made a vast improvement over the Sega Rally 2006 that they brought out on the PS2 because that was dire!, and the Sega Rally games prior to this was great

IGN Quote "While these screens might not be actual in-race footage, they show off SEGA Rally's in-game engine splendidly, being "indicative" (according to a UK SEGA representative) of the final PS3 release."
Show us real ingame for crying out loud.
Sega havnt been delivering latey so i hope that this turns out to be really good, although going by their track record lately its doubtfull.

I hope not
Living in hope that it wont cost more than £399 .. (629 euros converts to £413). Anything around £350 and I'd buy one within a few months of launch (if available). If it's over £400 then I think I'd rather wait til next year sometime when MGS4 and the new Final Fantasy games are released
I don't think Sony are stupid enough to charge even more for it in Europe.
If so they have just annoyed everybody and they wont sell. The biggest complaint in the US is it is too expensive, so they are going to charge more here AND have made us wait another 6 months and technically a year since it should have been spring 06.
If they do make it more than 600 Euros, Sony only have themselves to blame and they do deserve to choke on it. And i will weep and never buy another console again.

I quite like that idea, A powerful PS3 setup as your PC using linux OS, with no problems playing any PS3 game or Bluray movie.
I have to be honest, I've been rather Dim up until you saying this, I never even though about a PS3 in this way. It could replace the PC for some people! Aslong as the OS is stable ofcourse
Do you know if it would be possible to install PC games on the PS3? If Linux installs I dont see there being a problem. Command and Conquer via keyboard and mouse, and then sticking MGS 4 in for some Next Gen Fun. I like it.

Hardware configuration wouldn't be supported I don't think.
That link says the PS3 will be quite a lot higher price wise in Ireland than the UK..!!!ElRazur said:

So it looks like the UK will be getting the 20Gb version after all, and the prices work out to be £330 for 20gb and £395 for 60gb.
I can't understand why they are shafting Ireland though, I mean it's only £20 more for the 60gig version (as the 20gig is not being released in ireland) buit's still puzzling!

this is the main reason i want a ps3, im sick of my noisy pc that goes out of date every year lol , it will do me great for watching media , playing games , browsing the web and even a rare bit of word processing
at the moment i dont think theres drivers for video acceleration but ill take an educated guess that there someone somewhere working on some
how do you figure that one out? The price quoted for the UK on the official PS3 webiste is E499 (sorry don't have a euro symbol on this keyboard!) and when I ran the figure through yahoo's currency converter and it works out at £327.5672!!!barnettgs said:
