With how hard MS is pushing Vista and Live Gaming where PC users can play online against 360 users, does that mean lemmings and hermits will have to unite and form some sort of hybrid?  Perhaps a herming or a lemmit? 

And how does this affect the so called "exclusives" when it's in MS's best interests to see that the top 360 games go to the PC and vice versa?

I highly doubt Live anywhere will see much use. Seems unlikely for PC gamers to switch over to a paid service, when we get just as good for free.

PC gamers can play for free on silver. They just get added benefits with Gold. ;)

I can get most of the worthwhile titles coming to the 360 on my PC. The same cant be said about the 360 getting anywhere near as many worthwhile exclusives as the PC.

To be more on-topic. Interoperability doesnt change much. Final Fantasy 11 had Xbox, PS2, and PC players all playing together. Didnt mean much on a larger or smaller scale.

I would never buy a 360 even if you held a gun to my head. Xbox is everything that is wrong with gaming and it has already tainted PC gamers enough. There is no way we're going to give in to the BS of M$ and PAY to play games online. If anything it will show the world that the 360 is a piece of trash that deserves to burn in hell with Hitler God I hate Xbox. **** Halo thieves.

Yes, you can get a lot of that stuff separately, but not everyone has the technical savvy to locate the software to do all that.  There's something nice about having a unified system.

If you have to pay for LIVE on the PC, it is going to fail miserably. PC's already have much better servers and online support.

Any device can transmit any data on software level via ethernet (or Wifi) can support anything that networks gives even future features (like very old network cards support IPv6), it's just matter of software.... too bad lammings don't understand that and they being fooled with Xbox Live

PC gamers will eventually get every next box exclusive and a better version at that. PC gamers will not get PS4 exclusives, which is why system wars has already agreed and voted that PS4/PC=Next Gen Winning combo

Hardware platforms will give way to software platforms indeed, but it'll probably be a while.

lol what??? PS3 has all the games I'm interested in playing and if I'm ever interested in a 360 exclusive (less likely) I'll get it on PC. Lemmings will be the one to hide behind the PC. COws have nothing to hide from. WTF
