Just make the game with Support for mouse and keyboard! Thats all you need give a set away with the console version and every one plays on blizzards servers. Ive been waiting for a game to just support mouse and keyboard!!!!! Don't work around what works when the consoles have built in usb ports and don't start talking about money because you all own rock bank and you cant play rock band with out the stuff they sell you!
I didn't check the whole forum if some one already posted this but I just had to say it for all those who play first person shooters on Xbox and have to deal with duel analog when your a surgeon on a pc wit your mouse!

... Very good point, actually.
Plus, a mouse and a keyboard would take a lot less time/effort to develop, since they already exist.
Essentially you'd just need to make a program that allows them to be used in conjunction with the Xbox.

Not necessarily. If the concept of branching multiple electric outlets from one outlet can be achieved, I'm pretty sure the same can be done with USB ports on a console.

Avast ye! Scyberdragon be te thank for the sig, arr!
Actually, I may own multiple Rockbands but, as a realtively poor person, I got my Rockband from Goodwill. Lol. >.>
If it wasn't for that, I'd not have one.
Though, honestly, they have tried the whole mouse/keyboard thing for consoles multiple times. SNes Mouse, PS2 Keyboard, they just don't become popular. :/
Btw, why would you want to play console games with keyboard/mouse when you can use your computer for that?
When the console dies, I pay a couple hundred bucks to get a new one.
When your computer dies, and it will at some point, how much would you pay?
Besides that point, consoles are usually generic and don't allow for much variation between any given two from the same company. Whereas with PCs, whomever has the most money to shell out for the latest hardware typically has the greater advantage amongst the PC gaming community, imo.

Because not everyone is a pc gamer you need to open up to the console market with the same control style, I have good friends who never played a single blizzard game because " They don't play games on the computer". They always ask when is it coming out for 360/ps3 or my fav if its so good why don't they make it for consoles...

Two things...
1. you found a way to own rock band despite cash and 2 that retails for like 120 for really big special controllers... a mouse and keyboard bundled combo can go for 10-30 bucks so 70-80
2. the not becoming popular thing is because your not playing a game that does it right and blizzard does things right. its not about the control style its about the game that keep you interested.
You would have to remake every single Xbox and give them at least 2 more USB ports.
Wireless hub needs one port and supports mouse and keyboard. not to mention if its wired the mouse an plug in to the keyboard on the side like a mac and lastly why do you need more then theres 2 on there?
That depends on the part. Probably around 50-200 bucks. Not nearly as much as it costs you to buy an entire new console.
My console has lasted almost six years and is still going. How long would it be for you to replace/upgrade that particular part, or any other part that would be in need of replacing/upgrading?
The way it seems to me is there's a cretain mentality amongst PC and console gamers. If I knew how to post a thread with a poll, my first thread would be on that topic and I would try and get the gaming community as a whole to discuss this mentality openly and in a mature manner.
My mentality is right along the lines of Destructus'. But, I'd love to see everyone else's along with it.

Look in the end its always versus... IT would be pc games vs console gamers both thinking they are better and its a world we should be living in at some point I mean my gamer tag on xbox and pc are the same and the achievements transfer I want to be able to play with the kids using a controller too. We are all gamers we can rank ourselves with out having all play styles fighting to see who and whats the best.
Btw its Diablo 3 people if i could play it now and i needed to buy 2000 rig id do it. if i need to buy a 300 set up for my xbox id do it and i have the feeling you guys would too.
Then, to me, it seems that the whole mentality on that issue IS immature or it wasn't presented in a mature enough fashion as to encourage positive, thoughtful feedback/reasoning. A question along that line: is it asking too much of people in this day and age to have positive, thoughtful feedback/reasoning on this type of issue? I mean no offense to anyone.

Im sorry did i cross a line or are you guys talking about the over all discussion.
No, man. And no need to apologize. There was no fault on your part whatsoever.
My reply was to Zhar about me creating a new thread with a poll over the issue. The goal of that thread would have been to accurately gauge, in a respectful manner, if PC gamers think that PC games, in this case Diablo, would be a good thing if Blizzard tried to implement them on the console(s) of their choice.

There is 2 up already talking nothing... Ive viewed them both just fighting no one even has thought about the mouse keyboard to consoles... a console is just a computer after all.

See, that, to me, says "not done in a proper fashion" or done without being respectful to the other gamers on the forum. If I had the knowledge of how to make a thread with a poll, I'd present this issue in the most respectful, yet, thought-provoking manner without encouraging whining and argumentation (though, it is my fullest belief that such things would occur naturally, I would try and minimalize this by careful presentation).

Not that it's a hard thing to figure out, but I've got several friends who still stick to consoles because they say computers are too complicated.
