Keyboard/Mouse play on a PS3
I've looked up several ways to do this and they usually involve buying an adapter that's well above the price I want to pay for the ability to own console players. I know that in all honesty, I know I should just stick to FPS'ing on PC, but I have this 500 dollar machine and I wanna put as much use to it as possible. Anyone have an idea as to how to pull this off cheaply?

Your problem seems to be that you aren't getting enough use from your PS3. The solution is not to get a mouse and keyboard for the PS3. The solution is to go and get some good non-fps games for it. I mean, does it have any good fpses in the first place? Go get some of the cool PS3 games I keep seeing like Little Big Planet and such. You can play your fpses on the PC, and use your PS3 for what it does best. If none of the PS3 games are striking your fancy, just sell it. Don't sell it to EB/Gamestop though.
If playing some quality games is more important to you, and your friends won't come along for the ride, play without them. We're not talking about local multiplayer here. We're talking about online multiplayer. If you want to play a PC fps, play on public servers. Join the player community. Join the forum for the game. Maybe even join a clan. Heck, you don't even need to do that. I'm sure many people in this forum will be playing Left 4 Dead. I know I will be. Just play with us. Right now I'm playing Natural Selection.
Also, since the ideal situation is to get all your friends to play the PC fpses, here's some tips to get them to switch it up. Don't try to actively convince them to play. Just keep playing Natural Selection, or Counter-Strike, or whatever. They will realize on their own that you have stopped playing the PS3 fpses, and have moved on to something else. They will eventually ask what you are playing. Just casually say "Left 4 Dead". Don't say anything else except the title of the game. You don't have to say anything. They will know, without you saying anything, that you think that playing Left 4 Dead on the PC with strangers on the Internet is better than playing whatever PS3 fps with them. When they realize you think that, they will investigate. I personally guarantee they will start to ask questions. Just answer their questions, but tell them nothing more.
Thus, you will have made the transition from follower to leader. It really is that simple to be a leader. Don't do what your friends do. Don't be afraid that your friends won't follow you if you do something different. I guarantee you that if you do something different, your friends will follow you. This is the recipe for awesome.
w/e, new gaming friends it is. I just hope you guys can keep up the "madd fps skillz" when were fighting for survival in Left 4 Dead.
