    How the hell are you going to play SC2 with only the 8 buttons on a ps3 controller though?

    To be honest, if you have "Your Race" that you stick too, and you set up the buttons you have as if they were your own personal hot keys it's very possible.

    I've always wondered why there wasn't a single key on the board that was responsible for the production of miners. It's kind of dumb that they all are somewhat different. Probe I think is E? Scv S? Zerg S, D?


    But I think people would be using the blue tooth technology.... a Mouse on the ps3...

    Moving around the map and unit selections would be a chore.

    But, the PS3 does have usb ports.

    This seems like something we would have heard about before though. Fake?

    Uh... Duh?

    By the way, you can use regular USB keyboard/mouse on the PS3. Just not sure if they allow use of it in-game.

    Trololol.

    If this were to be real, then we'd have heard this from Blizzard before it appears on some random Thai site. Let me break it down even further for you. It says playstation network on the box, but battle.net is nowhere to be found. This game is fully build around battle.net, so the use of only PSN is nonsense. Lastly, it says playstation only. That should say enough, lol. PC/MAC, anyone?

    What would be the point to have ps3 that your going to use the mouse and keeyboard on it anyway?

    PC>consoles.And dont give me that crap about consoles having better graphics etc,cause any decent pc today can run pretty much every game around.(unless its solely made for play station )

    Hey, it says "PlayStation Move compatible", so you wouldn't need a mouse neither a keyboard.
    Move has not been released yet so I guess it's fake or simply wishful thinking.
    Besides, didn't the SCII comercial said "for PC and Mac only"?

    Honestly, I never understood why consoles wont incorporate keyboard/mouse inputs.

    It would be so nice to spend $300 once per 5-10 years and be able to play every single game comfortably

    Well I remember back in the day they released the original SC for Nintendo 64. I played it and from what i remember it actually worked out, but these games are just plain easier to play with a mouse and keyboard. Which would be really easy to add to the PS3 if they dont already have that.

    You can use a keyboard and mouse with the PS3. Halo Wars on the 360 was not so bad for a RTS on a console maybe they have done something like that with the controls.

    Saying that tho I still love playing RTS games on a PC it is better than a console.

    Darn. For a second I thought the PS3 would get games.

    I do miss that computing era.

    There was nothing like reaching around the back of the tv blindly trying to find the hole to plug the video wire in, switching it to channel 8 and turning down the volume. Then powering up tape player and holding my breath for 5 minutes in the belief that any small noise or vibration might cause the tape to wobble and go out of sync, leading to a fatal Tape Loading Error.
