    I just hate running out of batteries and having to go buy more kind of a pet peeve. that's why I have a wired 360 controller lol that and because the battery nub is annoying.

    Can't you use rechargable batteries with a normal wireless keyboard?

    Just get rechargeable AA and AAA batteries.

    Does anyone know if Apple's bluetooth keyboard works with PS3? I have one for my PC and it works fine. If I could get it working, that'd be a nice keyboard for PS3 use because it's so small. I'll try it out when I get a chance.

    Going to purchase the expansions/game on ps3, download the pc copy. If you have a ps3 no reason not to buy it on ps3 and DL it on pc.

    ITT: Lots of people who don't even know the capabilities of the PS3. In game music? Voice chat? Etc. etc. lol.

    Also, playing FFXI with a keyboard was just weird... from a console player's pov. Nothing beats the DS3, NOTHING.

    I can't see myself playing an MMO on anything other than a computer. However, if I do end up getting a ps3 in the future, I may pick up a copy should the need arise.

    I've had my fair share of people look at me funny for being more comfortable playing with a keyboard. I'm no stranger to consoles, but it felt like playing FFXI with a pad just slowed me down considerably.

    Don't have a PS3... yet! >.< But even if I'll get it sooner or later (FFXIII and so on... ._.) I'd rather play on my PC - that is if it will be able to handle the game properly. I tried playing using gamepad on PC with FFXI once and totally didn't like it.

    PC and PS3 ( people complaning about console.. you do know you can attach any USB keyboard/mouse to a PS3 right )

    PC really depends on how they do the alt+tab this time around..
    Laptop would be nice, but i doubt it will run any next-gen game the way it supposed to be.

    Can anyone recommend a good cordless keyboard mouse combination that works with PS3?

    You guy under estimate the capability of the ps3 to much. You watch that system will give most hi-end PCs a run for their money. I’ll be getting ps3 at launch and pc later. Ffxi was made for the DS on ps2 no keyboard/mouse combo can beat that controller. Even after I switch to playing ffxi on pc I had to get a controller for it.

    I seriously don't know how people played on PS2 with controllers, keyboards were so much better for macros and such.

    Most people here who are planning on playing on PC could give less than 2 shits about the capability of the PS3, we've been playing MMOs on PCs for god knows how long, and I know that they are just better on PC, sorry. I'd be happy if it were released only for PS3 so we wouldn't have to spend any part of the game like we did the last 4 years of FFXI. LOLPS2LIMITATIONS

    i never understood how people could play xi with a controller either, its always, 100% of the time, faster to play with a keyboard if you just learn it, there is no command you can do faster on a controller, none
