X-box 360
 
OK so,since PS3 cost a freaking fortune I decided to get an X-box 360 for Christmas and basically the games that come out are usually the same for both platforms except killzone uncharted and god of war for PS3 and Halo and gears of war for 360.However there is the issue with The FPS games and the usage of joystick couse during the summer I tried and I sucked so is there a chance to plug a keyboard and mouse to a 360 ?

You can use a keyboard for typing on the 360, but thats the extent of what you can do.

I presume so, I never heard anyone doing anything else on a keyboard besides typing lol

Is there not a keyboard with a touchpad on it for 360? Thought there was but not sure.

In the PC versions of any FPS, you use the keyboard to move around.

Yes, it connects to the controller.

There's something called FragFX for the PS3 which some guys I know have and think is pretty good. XCM do a mouse/keyboard adapter for the 360 called the XFPS but I dunno anyone who has one.

Link

EDIT - There seem to be lots on eBay but I vaguely remember XCM putting out a press release telling people to beware of fakes. You get what you pay for, I guess. ;)

Yep, these are all the ones that come under the '360' section - Link

OK thanks Tacitus I'll think about it.But how did it took you guys to get used to the controllers with the first person shooters?

Isn't the PS3 now cheaper than an Xbox 360? I think they might be the same price but with PS3 you get free wireless internet which costs an additional $100 on 360 and free rechargeable batteries for the controllers which is about $20 each for 360 not to mention the free online community.

360 is a 100 Pounds cheaper than PS3 plus 360 is corrupted and I can download easily games for it :) and X-box live is not that expensive :)

It doesn't get a great review here so beware, but that's for an early version. The XFPS 3.0 seems to get much more positive criticism so that's the one to go for. ;)

In a way that I can download games instead of buying them just like in the PS2 back in the day you just put a chip and you can play downloaded games something that is not available still for the PS3 :) that is the only reason I want 360 even though I really want to play God Of War III

That's what's called "modded" not corrupted. If it was corrupted, there would be something literally wrong or damaged with your X-Box 360.

Re: X-box 360
 
Modding isn't downloading games instead of buying them, it's altering the hardware or making your own case.

Anyway, it's pretty obvious that B-card is just using the word "corrupted" in a non-literal way. I knew exactly what he meant by it based on the context he surrounded it with, so I don't see any reason to be pedantic about it.
