Maybe it's just because i'm not really a PC gamer and been a console gamer since NES, but to me using a KB/M is hard as hell. Thats the only reason i dont play PC games, i hate using KB/M. can someone enlighten me on why this is so great

Its a eliteism issue.. I like both actually and I personally like the idea of more options to the players so they may interact with the game in the way they are best at.

That is my opinion over this issue.. by increasing the control options the more avenues we allow in of user without having to dumb things down..

Which is perfectly fine with me. As I said, this would only give a PS3 gamer an option: if you are better at KB/M, go to options and set the appropriate controls there. But at any point you can still use sixaxis if you need or want to. Actually, it would be even better if in multiplayer and online games some of the gamers on the same PS3 could use sixaxis, while others could use KB/M.

I have had PS3 in the house for more than two years, and I still cannot get completely used to the controller. Somehow I always feel so constrained especially in action games when both my hands are holding that little controller. I move to the PC and have a totally different experience. My hands are comfortably positioned on the KB, my mouse (I am a big fan of Trackball mice) is right here nearby. My hands are spaced out, I can move one hand independently of the other.
I am not really saying that KB/M should allow for more functions / operations compared to PS3 controller. No, let's enable exactly same number of buttons so that indeed KB/M gamers do not get any functional advantage over SixAxis gamers. As I see it, KB/M will be strictly an ergonomic alternative to a traditional controller.

+1 and I really don't see myself on my couch with a mouse and a KB...
