Not like this is a big surprise.
Bluetooth keyboard and mouse or usb. Way to go!

Before he retired from his position at Sony Computer Entertainment, Ken Kutaragi declared that the PlayStation 3 would have many PC-like functions. This week saw confirmation that owners of the console will also be able to play at least one shooter using PC gamers' weapons of choice.
In a post on his company's official forums , Epic Games vice president Mark Rein revealed that both the PC and PlayStation 3 versions of Unreal Tournament 3 will have keyboard and mouse support. That's a first for the Sony console, which does allow keyboard entry of text for non-gameplay functions.
"I checked with [programmer] Steve Polge and he said that YES we are supporting keyboard and mouse in Unreal Tournament 3 on PS3," wrote Rein. [Emphasis in the original.] "He is confident we are doing it in a way that will be balanced without feeling 'gimped' for either side. We'll also allow people to choose whether or not they want to allow mixed controller vs. keyboard/mouse games or not."
As revealed at Sony's press conference at the E3 Media & Business Summit, Unreal Tournament 3 is coming out this year for the PC and PS3 only. It will allow cross-platform play between the two platforms, which will be greatly enhanced by the inclusion of keyboard/mouse support. Said support will also offer gamers the alternative of buying a $599 console or upgrading their PC without having to sacrifice traditional shooter controls.
Rein also confirmed that nothing is confirmed about keyboard/mouse support for the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament 3, which is due out next year. "Nothing new to report about 360, sorry," he wrote. "As soon as we have a better idea on 360 release timeframe and features we'll announce it but don't expect any news on it before the end of this year."

Hmm, I do get why you would want to use the keyboard and mouse, but I think that the controller would be more comfortable. Specially if you're like me and have your systems in the living room. Using a kb/mouse means I would have to buy a table to put them on. |

True but this has been a complaint about PC to Console FPS games for a while. Keyboard and Mouse are more exact controls and perform better for advanced players.
I won't be getting the game either way, but with this option, now people who are heavy FPS players have a choice. |

So that means that a small group of PS3 UTers will actually pose a threat online. Doesn't matter, they still will be a pile a meat from my flak cannon. |

I know there are a lot of people out there that are deadly with a controller. I know this much from seeing friends of mine play halo on XBL. However, to me and most of my PC gamer friends, we couldnt hit the broad side of a barn with a controller on an FPS. The controlls are clunky and inaccurate to me. But I am deadly with a mouse and keyboard. Some people are good with a controller and some arent, and I like that the developers have taken this into consideration. |
