Mouse/keyboard + FREE Xbox Live Content

Microsoft needs to implement mouse/keyboard for xbox 360...that's a big reason people like me will want to play UT3 or COD4 on PS3 over Xbox 360 (as well as the mod issue).

And we already pay $50 for xbox live, why do we still need to pay for the added content?

play cod4 on ps3? LMAO!!!! theres a reason infintryward is releasing the MP beta on the 360 my friend, and if you look at pass records, shooters sales are always WAY better on the 360. people who own ps3s are happy to play with spiky haired japanese boys rather than UT3 or cod4.

and as for live, 50 bucks goes to MS, and the added content is up to the devs of the game. thats why some mappacks are free while others you pay, or wait for them to get free

Well, the keyboard is implemented. But I think if they introduced a keyboard + mouse, then it would completely defeat the purpose of a console game, and PC games would go down in sales.w4rgasm

That doesn't make any sense at all. How the hell would it defeat the purpose of a console game? Also, PC gamers buy PC games for a reason.... If I have to decide between the 360 and PC version of a game, I'll go with PC every single time. If I want to play it on my HDTV, it's extremely easy to set up. A mouse/keyboard config for the 360 wouldn't affect PC gaming sales at all.

I'm getting UT3, CoD4, and Gears for PC. Games For Windows Live games (GOW will be, don't knowabout the others)still require a gold subscription to play, but content is free, you can get achievements, you can make mods and user-created content, all sorts of good stuff. PC gaming has surpassed non-Wii gaming imo. I agree with beast, btw.

Who lied to you? Did you forget the whole Epic/Microsoft saga when MS forced Epic to make people pay for the map packs when they wanted to release them for free.

The problem is I bought a console to sit in front of my 56' 720p TV, on my leather sofa, without bringing my pc downstairs to clutter up my entertainment area, and have a clunky k/m sitting in my lap. If I wanted to play with a k/m I'd just play pc games.

If you look at what he said, its up to the DEVS. You do know devs is short for developer..right?

I prefer an Xbox controller over a keyboard and mouse. But apparantly noone has heard of the third party peripheral XCM XFPS. Check it out here. It is a bit pricey for my taste but I've heardnothing but good reviews about it. And it would be nice to have free or even lower priced content. But MS has the biggest and best Live service, and between constant server maintance, upgrades regularly, and etc. It is unlikely we will be seeing free premium content or free Xbox live memberships for that matter :(blackdragn

We've heard of it and...

read all the bad reviews on it. :)

Since I own both consoles - I do think MS needs to do this. I will buy any game that supports MS/KB on the PS3 for that system just because of it. UT3 with a gamepad - what a joke - it's a good thing EPIC is creating seperate lobbies for Gamepad users and KB/MS users or it would be a slaughter.

Also a SONY rep specifically stated this was long over due and they are happy because now people don't have to spend the huge amounts of money it takes to play in the high end PC market. People can now get that experience for $500 or $600 dollars.

So SONY is in fact pitting themselves against the PC gaming market directly :)
