    Can't help you with your question, but damn if that aint awesome. I will have to look at getting one when I get a PS3 (around the same time as the price drop).

    Theoretically you should be able to yes. Best thing I could tell you to do is try and see if your computer can pick it up in the Bluetooth stuff, see if it knows what's going on in the world.

    I would imagine so. I think you can use the Xbox 360 controller on your pc so you should be able to do the same with the PS3's controller.

    You can even use the Wiimote too! (just download remote buddy, and you can turn it into a pointer mouse!) Although...you do need nearby infrared sources for the pointer to work...but its still pretty damn sweet...(this is on a macbook pro by the way, I dont know if you can do this on a pc or not.)

    Sadly there isnt going to be a price drop, sony gave the official no, stores got ahead of themselves and started advertising a price drop. Check out ign.com for the full article.

    Yup i plan on buying the wiimote too, it looks fun. I will use 2 candles for infrared sources.

    I'll wait for E3 before I write off the price drop. Sony are doing the exact same thing they did before the PSP price drop (with retailers jumping the gun and all).
