Make sure you make the difference between Xbox and Xbox360.

There will be playability between Xbox360 and PC users.

X-box games: Just like computer games, but with worse graphics and simplistic controls!

(some of the 360 games are pretty sweet tho)
Putting the 'mental' in Elemental since 2005!

You won't be able to play Xbox or Xbox 360 games made for the console. You'll still have to buy versions of the game for the PC but you'll be able to play Xbox 360 players with the Games for Windows Live gaming service.

Yeah what Cuda said is how I understand it. Consider if Blizzard agreed to release WoW on Xbox 360. I'm not sure if this game is a good example or not, but it atleast gets the functionality across. The players with the Xbox 360 would play on the same game that the PC users play, so you'd have Xbox users possibly running around on our server and such.

They are just making it possible for their PC game base and Xbox 360 game base to play games against each other is how I understand the whole situation.

I think the guy at the store was just dreaming, misunderstood, or is smoking some great stuff.

Then again, maybe I am, too. :shock:

i dunno, he also said he is selling the USB Xbox360 controllers. if it where just to cross server action the pc-xbox seem like a waste of time, but w/e still pretty cool there making it so every one can play together one way or another.

The Xbox360 USB controllers are a totally different thing. Just like buying a game-pad, but its a comfortable and familiar controller instead of some Madpawz thing or whatever.
