I am a FPS PC gamer (Call of Duty, Half Life,...). I am thinking of buying an xBox 360 instead of upgrading/changing my computer. I'd like to know if it will be possible to play of keyboard/mouse (no controllers can beat a keyboard/mouse for FPS games)????????

I can't wait to play Call of Duty 2!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think MS has said anything on keyboards and mice, and since all 3rd party accessories need to have MS authority the choice is up to them.

ive heard that M$ will probably add a keyboard and mouse and it would plug in to the two usb hook ups

I'm sure there will be, the first Xbox has USB hookups so you can play with a keyboard and mouse and the Xbox 360 will be no different, just don't ecpect a launch day hookup.

I did here the MS wouldn't allow third party controllers for the xbox 360 till like Q2 of 2006, but hey, whats that from preventing you to plug in a logitech usb keyboard, there are usb ports on the 360 out the yin yang :ridinghor

If you buy a game console, you play with that controller... I play with computer if I want to use mouse and keyboard :P

Since there is already a third party adaptor that allows you to use a keyboard and mouse on the Xbox from a company called SmartJoy, I can't see why something like this won't appear in the near future on the 360.

Here's the Xbox adaptor...LINK (http://xbox.gamespy.com/articles/565/565000p1.html)

That'll make those texting messeges bit easier. Be cool if it was a simple snap on.

Personally I prefer a Controller over a keyboard and a mouse but I think it is possible that Microsoft may release a Keyboard/Mouse for the 360 somewhere down the line.

I don't know.

I think M$ wants to distance the 360 from PC games as far as it can.

But then again, M$ may be trying to attract PC gamers who don't want to buy a brand new computer.

I'd say most likely, but not at launch.

I agree with Ace2Cloud... Deffinately will be one... Not at launch.
