Although we've pretty much unofficially known since August, Sony's VP of Sales, Ian Jackson, confirmed that the PS3 keypad will make its way to retail during the first week of December. The peripheral is currently listed for the rather outrageous disagreeable price of $50.

Haha, nasty.
I like the 360 one better. Is that the whole pad? Because it seems to merge in too well. (start and select button)
I think the start, select and home buttons are extra buttons stacked onto the regular controller.
Looks to me like theres a little part that has holes for the start, select and psn button that goes on the front.
Makes me wonder why the PSP cant have a keyboard :((
eeewwwww.... iv seen something similar product already out... but wow... 50dollars? ha ha itsa joke... thats why i have my own computer keyboard...
Its expensive because it has can also function as a touch pad for mouse input.
isnt the controller itself the mouse?
I believe the surface of the keypad is a capacitance based touch pad, like on a laptop.
I'm curious how long the battery will last with normal use, it is a 610mAh battery.
$50 is rather steep, virtually as much as another Dualshock 3 controller. I bet us UK folks will get charged a similar big sum for the chatpad.
it looks silly and i must say it will be hard to use it being on the top of your pad
that's about £30
sounds pretty well priced to me.
i dont like it much, but i'm greedy and may end up getting one anyway!
