BlueMoon writes "Gamespot has an interview with Dean Lester (Microsoft Windows Graphics and Gaming general manager) where he explains that the Xbox 2 peripherals will all work on PC too. So it looks like the Xbox 2 will probably use the 'normal' USB standard."

    So, will existing PC usb controllers be useable with the Xbox2?

    With the proper drivers and a little rewiring... all you need to do is change the connector.

    That's a different definition of "working" than I'm used to.
