I know FPS on PC's rock. But w/ regards to my current status -- can a L4D Console (360) connect to a co-op PC game? (i.e. if i pick it up on 360 can I get on line w/ you all gaming on PC?
Just thinking as I plan to expand some gaming.

nope...just with other 360 players
I think the first cross platform online game will be Champions online. PC gamers will be able to play on the same servers with 360 people.

Isn't FFXI the first cross-platform game? I thought the 360 and PS2 versions connected with the PC.
So, when you look at it, Playstation and Xbox characters play together. Craziness.

There have been a few other cross platform titles over the years besides FFXI (most notably the latest Shadowrun game), but they all sucked/flopped/did both. Microsoft is making too much money from the current status quo for this to ever become widespread in the forseeable future, even though the Xbox/X360 both run stripped down versions of Windows 2000 and DirectX (DX7 on the original Xbox, and DX9 on the 360 as I recall). I'm wondering how many gamers out there besides me have a pair of Xbox 360 controllers, a Live account, and thousands of Microsoft Points, but no actual Xbox. Seems like a pretty small niche, but I have my reasons |

That might be me in the future. My 360 started doing the red flashing light thing last night.
