PS3 to support USB keyboard, mouse and PSP

PS3 gaming was also given another boost with the announcement that the Sony Playstation 3 will support keyboard and mouse gameplay - something that rival console manufacturer Microsoft has announced it will not be supporting. PC gamers looking to make the shift to console gaming will no doubt welcome Sony's move to support keyboard and mouse gameplay. The keyboard and mouse will connect to the console via USB, and it is currently unclear whether the console will allow the connection of any USB keyboard or mouse, or whether it will be restricted to authorised peripherals. Sony has also announced that its Playstation Portable (PSP) handheld gaming device will connect to the PS3 via Bluetooth. The PSP will function as a remote control for the next-generation console, allowing PS3 users to browse files and folders without leaving the sofa. It will also be possible to transfer photos and films between the two devices. The PSP will not, however, function as a controller for the PS3.
