[Tony Williams]

Perhaps 360 and PS3 could play together someday.

Seems like even if some on here dont like the idea its not stopping game developers liking the idea off cross play between PC and PS3

Brothers in Arms gets cross-platform multiplayer
Gearbox Software is one of a number of developers to already take advantage of a new PC-PS3 cross-platform online play solution that's been integrated into Unreal Engine 3.

In a nutshell, Epic has licensed GameSpy online tech and squeezed it into its hugely popular UE3 technology, "enabling seamless PlayStation 3 and PC online functionality. Functionality available to Unreal Engine 3 licensees via GameSpy will include cross-platform gameplay, communication tools and competition applications."

Codemasters' alternate-reality WWII game Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is another title to make use of these new features of Unreal Engine 3, which in addition to cross-platform play between PC and PS3 include the likes of GameSpy's online matchmaking service, stat crunching solutions for leaderboards and tournaments and community features.

Hasn't it already happened on 360? Shadowrun?

Yeah, however they reworked, tweaked and modified it to 'balance' it against each other. As a result the PC version sucked.
