Keypad review with videos and images - Talk Playstation

Talk Playstation.com reviews the Keypad, the attachable Keyboard for PS3 controllers.

"One day earlier then I expected I received Sony's official Wireless Keypad for the Playstation 3. And when trying to compare you can only do it with the 360 chatpad."

17.99 GBP = 26.5077 USD, which is a much better price than the $50 retail value (or even $40 Amazon pre-order value) that we must pay in the US.

I would probably import it were it not for this tidbit of information:

"Technical Details
Region

PAL: Will play on UK and European Playstation3 only"

It does sound a bit strange to me that a Bluetooth device would be region-limited, but I'd rather not take a chance, especially since importing it would bring it close enough to the $40 deal I got at Amazon.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.
