With some of the inclusions of a "universal game controller" driver in SP1 the wired (USB) controller is supposed to plug into an XP PC and just be able to work like a normal controller for any pc game that allows controllers.

Hey, guys, this is coming directly from Xbox Official Magazine (XOM). The Xbox 360 will support the newest build of XNA. FOr those of you who don't know what that is, think of it as Java or Shockwave, a one set line of code and prerequisites that will allow games to come out quicker, and be easier to make.

Now along with XNA (which XP SP1 and 2 already support) comes universal drivers. The wired 360 controller will be able to be used on XP SP2 and higher (which means Vista, the new Windows build due for release next year). Yessir, not only will you be able to plug your Ipod or PSP (and MANY MANY other USB devices that support the windows driver database) into your 360, you can now use your 360 USB devices on your PC. Including the Web Cam, which could save some money for many people.

No word on what File system the Xbox HDD will be running. Perhaps an updated version of FatX, or maybe the new File System that Vista will be running. Could you imagine searching your HDD at home, and getting results just as fast as you would if you were searching the web with Google? Yessir, this next gen is going to be absolutely amazing!

And according to other sources from XOM, the 360 is being designed (or has been anyway) to be able to be expanded as time needs. You now have an upgradable System. So as XNA advances, through live, your Xbox will grow, too. Firmware is going to be the norm for Xbox 360 users.

I hope this sheds some light on your questions, pal.

I'll keep my eyes glued to my next issue (and past issues) for 260 confirmations and rumors. If you want to know anything, just ask me.

I hate to burst your bubble about the new file system, but,
unless Microshaft has changed their minds AGAIN, it won't
be in the new OS. A friend of mine works there and WAS on
the Vista team. He says programmers are bailing the project
in droves. He tells me it isn't much more than a minor face
lift to XP now. Release date probably being pushed back to
almost Christmas of 06. With the new Mac OS going to
the PC platform, perhaps Apple and Dell stock might be a
good bet. OSx on a PC. Smile I hear that Solitaire is lightning
fast on it though.
On the plus side, my friend has gone over to the 360 team.
He is working on the Xbox emulation. the stated goal is that
ALL Xbox games wil play on the 360 within 18 months.

I'm with ya on that, Lion. I'm running a dual boot system, one end is the XP Home, SP2, the second end is the newest Linux clone, Xandros. Holy hell... that OS is nice. So much compatibility, and it's just visually beautiful. Standard comes with two desktops (which you can increase) just go out and buy it. It's amazing, and quite possibly the best Linux i've picked up yet. Hell, I like it more than fedora.
