PS2 EyeToy and keyboard works on PS3

Look what we found on YouTube (yes, it was while surfing for Nintendo videos for a Wii article, but it’s nice that we bumped into some good PS3 news, too). The video shows that the PS2 EyeToy is compatible with the PS3. This isn’t any big surprise.

So we headed over to Kotaku because the YouTube vid’s from there. We found the article, and it turns out the PS2 Logitech keyboard works too.

It’s nice that Sony has let us plug whatever we want into the PS3’s USB port – within reason. Kotaku’s Brian Crecente said, “I tried using the Xbox 360’s Vision Camera and while it detected that a USB device was plugged in, it didn’t work. Too bad, that would have been hilarious.”

Hm. If the Xbox 360 Vision Camera was detected as a USB device but didn’t work, then couldn’t the OS just be changed?

I mean, Sony is letting us change the OS, right? It would be really funny if there was a breed of OS, like maybe a modified Linux variant, that has the drivers for Xbox 360 USB devices. That’d be a sight to see.
