Now this is cool, you could play a x360 game online with someone who has teh same game on PC, now all they need to do is have the other consoles pay MS so all games can be played crossplatform that would rule.

This is really cool. I can't wait to, in the future, beat my friends on Halo 2 PC using the mouse/keyboard combo while they use the gamepads :beam:

Yeah, I've still got friends who say they can play and beat me with the controller once it comes out for PC ... i just continue to laugh. :lol:

hmmm..... i wonder why Counter-Strike is the most popular FPS in the world, yet the console versions were bombs? Mysterious:+)

He said most popular ;) and he's right, it's been around much longer than any FPS on the market and still has an obsurd amount of followers.

If I played FPS' anymore this would be tight :D, seems like a long time coming.

Why dont they just make a partial keyboard with wasd(shift,r,q,e,f,c,tab,space) and mouse input going into the wireless system... Although i blieve Huxley may incorperate this type of internet MMO unity.

does the xbox have something like an attachment keyboard which could be bought? if someone has developed that, i would seriously buy an xbox:D

and yes, i love counter strike too. we still have LAN parties with that game(and half life:))

i think you can just plug a usb keyboard into the usb ports on the front of the 360..... idk how you would configure the controlls though

Yeah x360 supports any usb keyboard but its up to the developers to provide the games with keyboard support.

Lets hope MS tells devs to support keyboard and mouse for every game maybe then their userbase will grow even more.

PC/Mouse combo rules all the way!

Also Counterstrike is old and Halo is a "kids" game, big guys & gals...Quake 4!!! but i still do have my eye on this new game Black which looks like to be awsome as well.

I've played quake 4 and i didn't think it was all that great, even online. i like to consider myself to be a big ID Software fan, so this comes as a disappointment. So far the best online gaming experience i've had is with Battlefield: Modern Combat. the online play is amazing. check it out if you ever get a chance. :pac:
