xbox 360

Just sent a batch of friends invites to Vortal, Gottaa, Piper & Cad... Anyone else around on Live add me pleasey (SkullPwnee)

Also found out that you can indeed plug a USB keyboard into the 360 and use it for typing messages to friends etc at the moment, just need to experiment and see if any of the games support it. I had a spare Apple Pro USB keyboard hanging around which being white looks quite nice with the 360 (and is small), just need to find a wireless jobbie to try next

I've got a premium one, but not got any games yet other than Geometry Wars (and a rather broken TV so I can't see the edges, which makes it somewhat harder). Also I've got Live but not a long enough network cable so I'm waiting on a wireless thingy. Gamertag is "Tenuous", if you want to add me (and I'll get it sorted when it arrives).

Dont forget night if you can move your router closer to the xbox,cheaper to add a wireless card to pc

360 games generally are not going to support KB/mouse combo it seems as a lot of people are worried about the advantage it will give online. Keeping the playing field lvl I guess.

Tag is:

so add me if you want and when I get live going properly, I'll sort it out.

I can't move the router, it's a combo ADSL modem/switch/wireless router thing and it's got 3 PCs hooked to it via cable. Plus I really don't think running cable across the living room floor will be a popular long term option with the wife

Looks like some will - FFXI Beta on the 360 not only supports it, but recommends it!

RE: Cables - You could always go wireless?

Yeah I'm talking more on the FPS's and stuff like that. I think its'd be very hard playing an MMO without.

Played Starwars Battlefield 2 (or whatever its called) on my bro's PS2 over xmas, boy did I suck at controlling it - yes it was split screen which didn't help - but I even maanged to get stuck in scenery and all sorts!

However after a couple of hours, I could at least kill some of the AI enemy - sort of found the knack was smaller movements of the joystick thumb things on the pad, and as Piper said inverted Y-axis for me too.

Would still never choose to play an FPS on there tho (by choose I mean buy)

Now if Xbox 360 is supporting keyboards/mice starting to sound more interesting

Did they release any games worth playing on the 360 yet? Whenever I look it just seems to be the same ol' same ol' EA sports 2006 stuff and a few average looking other games.
