Sweet, I love mine. If you figure out how to get it working in Windows under Boot Cramp, let me know! :D

That will be hard - I dumped Windows years ago and do not want to go back to it.

i don't think it'll work for a PS2 - or are you doing FFXI on an old PS3?

the piece is bluetooth and works flawlessly. you turn it on after you charge it, hit any button to activate it, and within about a second it should connect to the PS3. then on any text entry window you just start typing. it is a bit small, but if you're used to a blackberry or other small kb equipped phone, you should have no issues.

FFXI is the online one that was released for PC and Xbox 360, didn't come out on PlayStation. And yeah, I like the keyboard quite a lot too, it's a lot better than having my PC keyboard plugged into my PS3 and laying about all the time. And yeah, the keys are fine if you're used to a QWERTY-keyboard phone, but if not, they don't take long to get used to.

nope. it was released on PS2 before anything else - it was about the only reason to have the hard drive/ethernet add on for the old thick PS2. CR also told me backchannel he's doing PS2 emulation via his PS3.

Santa brought me a 22" monitor.
I don't think Santa knew it didn't work.
Then we exchanged it and Santa sent me a replacement of a different model, which failed a few days later.
Maybe third time really is a charm.
Santa has been a tease.
;P

I also got a new printer, and some little stuff.
And a striped sweater!!!!!
