    When I played Need for Speed: Most Wanted, I couldn't use three key for example, up and left arrow + booster key, at the same time. It didn't work. I could only press two keys at the same time.
    Does anyone have same problem?

    Sony sure does use cheap keyboard in SZ..

    I had the same problem in my FS. My S series can operate 3 keys at the same time though.

    I seem to be able to use three keys at a time... I don't play NFS, but I can use the <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete> keys to get into the Task Manager with out a problem... Are you still able to get into the Task Manager?

    I confirm that it's an issue. I've been playing Crashday (great car destruction game) and i had a problem using arrow keys forward, left and nitro boost (V)

    Edit: funny thing I just read what you wrote and it exact the same issue in a different game though. For some reason it works when I press up, right and nitro boost (V)
