Narrative:
Landed aircraft on runway xxr spoilers deployed on touchdown. Selected reverse thrust. Aircraft decelerated to approximately 90-100 KTS. Applied brakes; aircraft drifted to right. Tried steering with nosewheel steering to no avail. Increased left brake pressure; no effect. Aircraft departed paved surface at approximately 60 KTS parallel to runway; regained paved surface after about 1000 ft. Wind was 300 degrees at 14 KTS with gusts. Advised maintenance and tower. Taxied to gate under own power.

Title: A320 CAPT REPORTS ACFT DRIFTING TO THE RIGHT AFTER LANDING AND UNABLE TO CORRECT WITH LEFT BRAKE AND NOSEWHEEL STEERING. ACFT DEPARTS PAVED SURFACE BEFORE FLT CREW REGAINS CONTROL AND TAXIES TO GATE.
Narrative: LANDED ACFT ON RWY XXR SPOILERS DEPLOYED ON TOUCHDOWN. SELECTED REVERSE THRUST. ACFT DECELERATED TO APPROX 90-100 KTS. APPLIED BRAKES; ACFT DRIFTED TO R. TRIED STEERING WITH NOSEWHEEL STEERING TO NO AVAIL. INCREASED L BRAKE PRESSURE; NO EFFECT. ACFT DEPARTED PAVED SURFACE AT APPROX 60 KTS PARALLEL TO RWY; REGAINED PAVED SURFACE AFTER ABOUT 1000 FT. WIND WAS 300 DEGS AT 14 KTS WITH GUSTS. ADVISED MAINT AND TWR. TAXIED TO GATE UNDER OWN PWR.
