Japan Getting Official PS3 Keyboard

Clearly somewhat annoyed at L.A. hogging all the limelight Sony Japan have hit back. Their dramatic news is that the PS3 is finally getting an official Bluetooth keyboard.  Unlike the already available keypad this is a full keyboard.

The compact keyboard launches on 30th June for ¥5,000 (£38, €42.50).  It features a PS button (in the lower right corner) that can be used to switch your PS3 on and off.  For pointer manipulation purposes it provides a love button TrackPoint-style nub with the two mouse buttons placed below the space bar.

It would have fitted nicely into the range of text entry solutions the last time we took a look had it been available then.  What do you think?  There is perhaps not much to differentiate it from other Bluetooth keyboards other than that PS button.  If it was released in Europe would you be interested?
