hey guys, i have been a gamer for more than a decade now, and from my experience i realize that one thing is missing, and that one things is one universal gaming network, for all the systems, meaning that we can play a ps3 game for instance, COD5, with xbox360 and PC users. i believe that this would creat so much fun and instead of excluding others because they dont have the same system, actually would creat a new gaming environment for us gamers. but 'no' so far, systems manufaturer are too busy trying to sell their system, while they could actually create a new kind of competition between them. i look at it as in faithful players will buy a ps3 an xbox or a pc depending on what they prefer, instead of having to buy a new system to play with their friends cause they can't with theirs, i really find that ridiculous. already it took them a decade to have universal games, now we need to wait how long to have a universal online network. it frustrates me, and im sure it frustrates millions if not billions of other gamers. already there is an economic crisis world wide, stop trying to get the most money out of us, for god's sakes... i mean sony and microsoft, dont you have enough money already!

enough money and a huge business can never be said together
and guys, like what the hell, instead of being negative about it, i think as gamers we have a word in what the manufacturers do, cause without us they wouldn't sell **** im sure that by starting up a petition, we can start a movement about that. ok lol now its becoming a dream, but without dreams we cannot achieve anything.
That would be nice till all the people on PC who mod everything and hack every window possible starts cheating. I think it should be universal excluding PC, theres just too much you can do to a game on a computer.
you guys are absolutely right about hte hackers on pc, but im sure we can have an elite group regulating those things, or a special firewall. guys anything is possible...
they had this for shadowrun were 360 and PC players could go head to head sadly the game failed to sell and the 360 and PC gaming together trend died with it, as afar as I know. I would just be happy getting as much free content as PC players some of the time games that come out for PC are also cheaper than their identical console counterpart
I love playing CoD4 online, but a lot of my friends have 360s and I have a PS3. I'd love it if this was made possible, but to be quite honest I don't ever see it happening, at least not on this generation of consoles.
the answer is money. like someone said, it wont happen on this generation of consoles. and then, you d have to think from sonys and microsofts viewpoint: why?
They wouldnt make money on it. You wouldnt feel the need to buy two systems if it were so. (for online third party games).

Agreed, i have all three you mentioned but it would be nice to play a multi plat game against anyone no matter the system. It is nice to see someone care about gaming that much, only if you would put this thought and energy into something worth while. Eventually cross platform gaming will come about, but before that happens a lot of changes are going to occur in this country before you see this idea become reality.
i'd love to see that one day. But it'll turn out to be one big fanboy battle. Clan tags will be "360", "PC", "PS3" blah blah. But it'd be fun. I'd get to game with my friends (they all have the 360) and i'm the only one with a PS3 :)
there is also the possibility that for instance, activision, create a new online network, including the 3 different systems, and lets us play call of duty with any system simultaneously.
I dont think a gaming consoles unique operating system would allow that seeing as each console reads code differently. Plus a company needs to make money and never stop making money, Its just how it works. If anything networks will get more private. Sorry ralph but it sounds like a pipe dream unless Sony and Microsoft design compatible consoles and that is an even bigger pipe dream.
