More on this game

Following an article in early September, Microsoft has today announced that the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows will go on sale with an RRP of £24.99 this December. The cross-platform peripheral marks the first time that an Xbox controller has been specifically designed for use across the two Microsoft supported platforms and will come with an ample nine-foot cable. Also, the wired controller that forms part of the Xbox 360 Core pack will also be compatible with the PC platform with gamers able to download the driver from two websites: windowsupdate.com and the Microsoft Hardware Web site at microsoft.com/hardware.

Making the announcement J Allard, Microsoft Corporate Vice President and Chief XNA Officer âThis controller is a great example of one of the many areas where the Xbox 360 and Windows platforms complement each otherâ¦The Xbox 360 Controller for Windows is an important step in making it easier for consumers to enjoy gaming on both platforms.â

âFor the first time, gamers can simply unplug their controller from their Xbox 360 system and plug it into their Windows XP-based PC,â said Mike Haigh, Hardware Product Marketing Manager. âThis is a great breakthrough for the gaming industry as we make it easier for developers to create multiplatform titles.â

Further support for the peripheral has come from Electronic Arts, THQ, Ubisoft and Vivendi Universal.

Weâll have more on this shortlyâ¦

And we're supposed to get something out of that garbage post? Plus, you DO realize that Commodore is, and has been for a long time now, a name. And that's all. The name has been passed around a little bit, but none of the same people run anything Commodore related. Any new Commodore we see will be in name only. Like Atari.

	By: Anonymous Coward Added:Wed 07th Mar 2007 12:45, Post No: 2 Having attended a computer show in london in the early 1990's ('big boy barry' was there to give you a idea of the dates) the commodore execs had a ? and answer section. i asked them ? about there new wonder machine and pointed out that there new machines price put it in competition with PC's. The level of arrogance displayed from them stunning they laughed at the thought that a humple pc could be a match for there super new machine and that the much higher pricing(taken the machines out off there price range for most amiga users at that time) will be ok and we will all buy one!!!. If commodore are to come back and the arrogance is still there i see bankrupt again!!
