You can use Notepad++ to make deleting full lines slightly quicker.

Alternatively to the method indicated in Step 4, you could instead find the portions of the Set="PC-360" lines that reference the icon type and modify the reference from the X360 button to the PS3 push button (for example, MappedText="<IMG src='xbox360_B' becomes MappedText="<IMG src='ps3_Circle').
