Thoughts?

Personally I'm not too sure. I wont bother with this as I like chilling out on my bed with a wireless controller, wouldnt want to sit at a desk and use a keyboard and mouse to play games. Could make for an unfair advantage though if everyone else is aiming with a mouse ;/

The disadvantage on-line people will have when they are playing with keyboard and mouse opponents will be stupid! You cant beat them full stop and i don't fancy having to use a keyboard and mouse on my desk to have a fair game of GoW or cod3 or something.

this needs to be banned before its even released but it looks like its going ahead.. great

this makes it now tempting to get an Xbox, controller for teh sports games, mouse and keyboard for the FPS's :)

360 fanboy reviewed it, and didn't think much of it

I wanted this to come out when I first got my 360, because I was a PC person. Since playing none stop with the controller Im that used to it now I dont think the XBox would be the same.

If it give the controller users a disadvantage I say bring it on, I dont mind losing a few rounds just to kick a KB&M users butt on one round :P

Its just a bigger achievment when I do win and we all love a challenge.

Good. This idea needs to be thrown in the bin. I hate every bit of it.

I don’t understand why PC die hards have this incessant need to have a keyboard/mouse solution for a console. Do you not have enough FPS games of your own to play?

[Tsung]

^^ Agreed! :)

the keyboard and mouse adaptors have allways had major draw backs which make them pretty much useless.

the sensitivities in most of the console fps's are suited to the analog sticks and will never translate well to a mouse. plus they've allways introduced lag into the controls, as stated in that review. It was said back in halo2 on the original xbox that using the mouse/kb adaptor produced such low sensitivity with the mouse that it was pretty much uselses, aswell as the fact that fast 'flick' were impossible too.

all in all, a waste of time and money tbh, specially once your comfortable with a controller for an FPS game designed to be controlled by analog sticks, all is fine anyway. Just look at some halo vids of guys basically tracking heads with ease with the sticks. specially with the sniper.

Yeah, I hate those people too! (but only because they're better than me and cause me to die...lots)

Sounds like a nightmare tbh. Can't imagine playing DOA4 or TDU with keyboard and mouse. PC shooters >> console imo :p

And anyways wireless ftw ;) I'm lazy :redface:
