Hands-on opportunities with the game are on offer at PAX and Kotaku's report (via Eurogamer) confirms that the PlayStation 3 version of the game, in addition to offering cross-platform play with the PC/Mac via Steam, will also support USB Keyboard and Mouse input, giving console players the option of playing the first person shooter in the manner that our lord intended.
Unfortunately it's looking like Xbox 360 owners will remain fenced out, but let's hope this marks the start of a new trend and encourages Microsoft to fall in line. PS3 owners will reportedly also be able to use the Move motion controller as well as the regular Dual-shock/sixaxis pad.
Additionally, there's also a little clarification on the game's dedicated server situation (and it all sounds good to us!):
For the new game, Valve will host its own servers. Fans can still host theirs and tweak the game, but Valve wants all of the players to be able to rely on having access to a consistent experience. On the Valve servers. CS: Go will play the way described here. And only on the Valve servers for PC and Mac—or on the console versions for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3—will players be matchmade based on skill. Valve is using a system called ELO and will prioritize that skill ranking when matchmaking in the Competitive mode. It will prioritize your friends list when matchmaking for Casual.Watch the debut teaser trailer below (or click here for HD) and stop by our game page for the first official screenshots.

Though, CSGO looks very much just like CSS.

What's the f*****g point honestly, consoles are games where you play on your couch with your feet up most of the time. If you want to use a keyboard you need a table / something to rest it on + room for a mouse why not just use your PC. Because lets face it if you're using a ps3 with kb / mouse you're just using a s***** to play the same game.
