| Say does this work with the Ps3? I don't want to come across as being rude but... the PS3 doesnnt have an 'Alt' button. Although there IS a little spanner icon, and there you can access a lot of symbols. Hope this helps. | 2009-07-27 11:55:00 Author: BlackHairedGoon Posts: 160 |

Perhaps if you are using a USB keyboard though. I have not tested this yet so I cannot confirm if it will work. | 2009-07-27 11:58:00 Author: Zwollie Posts: 2173 |
