    haha!!! japan gets it last for once!!!!!

    i always hated that how with most other consoles and games they were released in japan first, made me jealous!!

    now THEY have to wait HAHAHAHA!!!!

    more seriously, we know these huge publishers can do a simultaneous worldwide release, why don't they?? wouldn't that discourage a little bit of piracy by people who want to get things early?? i'd think they'd be all about that....

  3. Keyboard + Mouse for FPS games? by blankoboy · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Sure the XB360 has all sorts of cool new bells and whistles. They have also juiced up the Live experience. My real question and concern is, will there be an official keyboard and mouse for the XB360 with in-game support? If the answer is no, sadly I will not be purchasing this. I am a FPS gamer first and foremost and the reason my original Xbox sits there doing nothing is because I will not play a FSP with a freaking gamepad! Playing FPS with gamepage = Having sex with a beautiful woman while wearing a baseball glove on your p3nis. Just not going to work.
