By the time this comes out everybody will already be groovy.

i think a price point around $35 - $40 might entice some users not too comfortable at the idea of working with chips (even though in this particular case its as simple as it gets)

I really hope they came up with their own code and aren't just using ps groove on their chips

Thnx for the news, yet another option for us : great, are those the same that came along with 'wiikey' or not ?

as said before, 30-40 dollars is a good price, not much more than a teensyboard and without the hassle.

[SwordOfWar]

50$ is still too much money considering the ongoing ports to the PSP, Nokia phones, Android phones etc.

I wouldn't pay more than 30 bucks for one of these. Nobody knows how easily you can update these devices and if they will allow you to remove the dongle without crashing/restarting the PS3.

The alternatives seem to be cheaper and more open to flexibility and updates. x3jailbreak will supposedly be cheaper than this.
