Community manager Vaeflare shared the news over on the Blizzard forums , before adding that the PlayStation versions of the game wouldn't support a USB mouse and keyboard while the PC version won't be usable with an analog controller."As a result, the characters on your Battle.net account and PlayStation account will also remain separate."In terms of allowing an analog controller hookup for the PC, we don’t have any plans for that kind of support right now. Similarly, since Diablo III for console was designed with a controller in mind, the PlayStation version of Diablo III will not support USB mice or keyboards."The first screenshots of the game running on the PlayStation 3 surfaced earlier this week, showing off a slightly redesigned UI.
