Today we reveal the price for the keyboard attachment coming for the PS3, Japan will not be getting a 360 version of a HUGE game, and rumors state that the next Max Payne may be a PS3 exclusive.

USB keyboards already work with the PS3, and though wireless keyboards can be a little pricey, this contraption plugs into the PS3 controller, so it probably doesn't even have it's own wireless built in.

Only one of two things are guaranteed in relation to this game. 1: This game kicks almost as much ass as Chuck himself or 2: Chuck kills all the game's developers with a single roundhouse kick to the face from either Law or Order.

We only received info from the American side at E3. This is actually more in regards to someone on the actual staff outright saying there won't be one for the 360 in Japan.
Makes a bluetooth palm sized keyboard that's compatible with the Playstation 3. it does cost 150 but from the looks of it.. you could possibally comtrol the whole thing with that little bugger.. heres a link, check it guys.

There is at least one 3rd party attachable keyboard for the PS3.
I bought one for my friend for his birthday.
I think the company's name was G3 or something.
It has that dongle thingy that needs to be plugged into one of the PS3's USB ports.
cool new max payne game that's awsome loved one and two number three will probably by cool since it's made by rockstar because I love grand theft auto 4

Well, I liked all the other storys, but we knew that Final Fantasy 13 wasn't coming to Japan since E3. It is only coming to 360 in North America and Europe

It is coming to the PS3 and 360 in America but is coming out in Japan on the PS3. Why would a Japanese company whose largest profits of Final Fantasy were in Japan not sell the largest and most anticipated Final Fantasy since FF7 not release in Japan?

I am a bit conflicted now that Xbox360 not having FFXIII. Still, I guess it means that XIII would be another MGS4, will fit into a Blue Ray disk. :P THat Keyboard, fuck no, worse idea ever and no one will buy that novelty item.

Unless you are in Japan then you do not need to be sad about the 360 as the United Stated will have it on the 360 due to the larger number of systems it has sold. If you are like me and are in Japan, then you'd have to get a PS3 in which case you'd already have one.
The video of the olympic swimming was entertaining. Very close! But the dude flipped the bird at the guy who lost and that was very tastless. He loses my respect right there with that crap! You don't deserve a medal if you pull that shit!

Wait a minute. Didn't the Xbox 360 sold out in Japan because of Tales of Vesperea? Don't tell me nobody has a 360 in Japan. Not releasing FFXIII for the 360 in Japan seems like a bad move in light of recent events.
But what do I know? I'm not a marketing expert or anything like that.
Submitted by Kazekawa on Thu, 08/28/2008 - 12:08am.
Sold out as in all 100-200 of the 360s laying around in the stores were sold. There wasn't a massive supply hanging around. One game did bring some interest to the system but allow me to explain it for everyone.
Nintendo and Sony control the market here and I have seen negative ads against the 360 in this country. Japanese look down on American made consoles and games often considering them to be too easy or not worth their time.
This has slowly changed over the years but its still around. Recently there has been some interest in the 360 but its more or less too late. The 360 will never sell half the units the Wii or the PS3 have here.
There is no point for a country who has sold few xbox 360s to suddenly go ahead and release FF13 for it due to 1 game causing a few systems to be sold.
Now in America, alot more people have bought the 360 or the Wii or the PS3 so selling FF13 in America only on the PS3 would see a loss in sales. Sure some would buy the PS3 for FF13, but in my opinion, the FF series has been bastardized the last few games and I no longer consider the series to be relevant. FF9... the last decent FF.

Japan = Uptight 'n' Arrogant at many times(not everyone, not all of the time, but there is significant snobbery there). Ah, but I like 'em still. In fact I'm goin' there for X-mas. Might spend most of my time in South Korea though. Kimchi is some wicked stuff. Also Mandu is great. Yes Korean food is spicy, but delicious. Sushi is overrated!
Submitted by Kazekawa on Thu, 08/28/2008 - 3:05am.
It can be said that every country has a level of "snobbery" and arrogance. One only needs to take a look at the US to understand this. However, I merely wanted to point out that where as you have your own opinion, I felt it was a little unfair to make the comment about Japan based upon thei video game market.
Kimuchi can be bought in any South East Asian country including Japan and yea I do not like sushi nor spicy food. Mandu is fairly similiar to Chinese gyoza.
I've lived in Japan now for 3 years and where as I appreciate my life in America, I'd never go back. The people in Japan are extremely kind, polite and generous. The kind of qualities America had 20 years ago or so.
