Omali 09.06.2005 09:51 actually that would be ridiculous if MS makes all the hardcore ppl who buy the premiun package buy the wired controller that does not come with the bundle to connect with XP. hopefully the Play & Change kit will serve the function or connecting it with PCs 3 -
Wouldn't it be coolskooby 09.06.2005 10:34 It would be awesome if the mouse worked on the 360... DROOL! Logistically speaking though this is hard to pull off, since balancing mi on my lap in my family room... 4 -
Unregistered - RAVEN SLAYER 09.06.2005 10:57 Why would you want a mouse for the XBOX 360 are you one of those people who lives in their mom's basement and plays on the computer all day long. Real gamers don't need a mouse and keyboard they just need a controller!!! 5 -

Omali 09.06.2005 11:10 i dont think MS should go the Sony route and allow mouse/keyboard use for the 360. its so much easier to shoot somebody in the face in an FPS with a mouse, thus giving those ppl an unfair advantage. why unfair? because to be evenly matched in terms of hardware u have to go out and buy more accessories to not get owned online 8 -
FPS would rock with miceskooby 09.06.2005 11:13 Anyone who knows anything about anything know that those that use Mice for controlling FPS wipe the floor with controller noobies. :) Please refrain from profanity... 9 -
NICEUnregistered - AWESOME 09.06.2005 11:18 COOL! 10 -
Omali 09.06.2005 11:38 skooby i acknowledge that mice are more accurate for FPS, but these are CONSOLES not PCs so if ne thing people that want a M/KB for the 360 is the noob who cant use the controller like everybody else and needs an unfair advantage to win 11 -

Unregistered - Anonymous 09.06.2005 13:21 All we would need is seperate servers with filters for seperate control styles(i.s ONLY mouse or ONLY controllers).Simple fix,and everyone can be happy.Everyone knows that FPS are way more precise and superior with mouse and keyboard. 15 -
NOT TO SURE ABOUT IT?Unregistered - Anonymous Coward 09.07.2005 01:25 When I first heard about the mouse and keyboard thing I thought it was about time they came out with one, the PS3's coming out with one too but then I started thinking about it....now I kind of wonder what direction console gamimg's heading,consoles will just end up another pc in the home when all we really need is controllers, good games and out standing graphics. 16 -
not for gamesassjacket 09.07.2005 17:21 I'm pretty sure i heard it said that the keyboard would only be used for typing, not controlling anything in games. And like some else said a simple filter for controller types would fix any problems. 17 -
