    What I'm concerned about is, will John Carmack and the id guys implement keyboard + mouse support (WASD) for the PS3 iteration of Rage and Doom4. I, frankly, do not want to go through the PC upgrade cycle anymore and plan to possibly purchase a PS3 later this year (or next) but I want to have the same old PC input style. I REFUSE to play any FPS with a gamepad as it destroys the imerssiveness IMO.
