Play your PS2 controller, keyboard and mouse on Xbox 360!

Have you ever been annoyed by the fact that playing a first person shooter title on a console can become quite tedious when using a controller. Moreover, many people say to stay clear from all FPS shooters unless they are on the PC (due to the keyboard and mouse combination). Well, when it comes to Microsoft’s Xbox 360 – hackers and ‘innovators’ seem to think of anything to make their gaming lives easier and this is where the XFPS 360 comes into play!
The XFPS 360 essentially allows gamers to use their keyboard and mouse (and also Playstation 2 dual shock controller!) to play games through the Xbox 360!. This device essentially plugs into the controller port of the Xbox 360 and has a variety of input ports and USB ports. Now gamers can simply buy an Xbox 360, this device and play games such as FEAR, Quake 4 and the upcoming Halo 3 with ease using their own keyboard and mouse.
When you look at the financial aspect of this decvice it is priciy (at approx. $100 AUD). But looking at it through the prime use of a PC to play games, this package incudling the Xbox 360, and XFPS 360 is cheaper for gamers instead of running out and buying a top of the line graphics card for their PC which they must continue upgrading. Furthermore, Xbox 360 Live is fully operational and many gamers can find themselves playing online with this new keyboard and mouse combination (or even play Street Fighter 2 Hyper online using a PS2 Controller!!!).
Highly recommended accessory (which is unofficial), and on my wish list when I buy my Xbox 360 very very soon!
