Unless you hate full keyboards, it really would be better to just get a USB keyboard. Saves you lots of money! If you plan to wait till the summer, hopefully by then this keypad will be cheaper. I don't see why they would release it at $50 unless they are that desperate for profits... I mean this thing could easily sell for like $25. The 360 chatpad also comes with a headset, so a PS3 keypad sans headset at $25 is reasonable, I'd say.
