I picked up an Xbox 360 controller because I figured I would eventually have the damn console, and also because it's Windows compatible. What do I have on Windows that I need a controller for? Well old arcade games, of course!
Since I have a PC in my living room used as a DVR, and therefore hooked up to the TV, it kind of made sense that I should be able to play classic Ms. Pac-Man or Joust. I mean, these games are like the only thing that actually run at a resolution lower than a TV! Ironic that I'm using a controller designed as state-of-the-art for something so old.
I look forward to getting that damn Xbox 360 some day, but I'm figuring it probably won't be until after Christmas at this point, unless I happen to get lucky.
Why must one reference the word "damn" so many times talking about xbox? :) I enjoy all video game systems equally.
