damn... you two told me then! I guess I'm just rubbish! Quickscoping is one of the things that annoys me most. I personally think they should be something that stops sniper rifles being so good on the move to eliminate quickscoping. I have no real life experience using sniper rifles but I imagine a 50cal is a hard thing to run around with and bring up to aim.

oh, who am I kidding, if it wasn't quickscopers it would be something else p*ssing me off, like witches, or 1887 numpties... or anything else that kills me a lot!

Price isnt out yet but it will basically around the price of its "competition". So £70 ish...seems pretty reasonable for those that want M&K in an all in one unit with a built in lcd screen.

I'd like to try one just to see how well it works, but i dont think id want to go back to playing games in my spare room at my PC desk.

As for cheating, yes it deffinatly unfair but im not sure crosses the line into cheating.

ini mods to old unreal engine games and mods were always questionable in some peoples eyes but some people used them to improve frame rates and control setups etc as well.

RTCW was full of little adjustments you could make and leauges made rules about how far you could push your settings before you were cheating.

A freind of mine always said the rule should be "as it comes out of the box, if its not an option in a menu then it shouldnt be alllowed" maybe his rule is the cleanest way to look at these things.

Currently i'm looking for a way to get my G27 working with the Xbox. All the decent Xbox wheel have been discontinued or utter rubbish.

That's why i'm interested in the Xim3, if people start confirming that this works with the G27 in driving games (I'd be happy even without FF) then i would get one.

The only other thing i can see that's a possibility is the CrossFire for the 360

The Dev is interested in all sorts of stuff other then mouse and keyboard. From flight sticks to driving wheels. All you need to do is a firmware flash.

Yep. There's threads all over tonnes of gaming forums with people ready to jump on. I think once they're are out there and people start having XIM3 in there clan tag etc it will just spiral from there. Its going to be fairly mainstream and they'll be uk suppliers as well. They are going to be priced competitive with the crap adaptors out on the market so wont be that expensive either. Personal I think they'll be huge.

As discussed in the other thread on these, it's highly unlikely they will get a release in the UK. They are a product that uses Microsoft technology, designed for Microsoft's console which is neither licensed or endorsed. Microsoft's lawyers here in the UK will have anyone who attempts to stock them shut down before they can blink.

Obviously US law is different, which is why it surprised me that their online operation continues to exist. However, somebody stated that the website is possibly not hosted in the US or some such.

These guys may have gotten away with it while they were small and selling a few of them. Releasing a new one and attempting to go big with it will have them shot down in no time. Going up against Microsoft and Sony, two of the biggest players in the electronics industry, it's not going to end well for them.

Good info and I see your point. I didnt realise the situation with the security chip my post you quote was from last month and I've read the current thread as well - and I agree it does seem likely something will be done if they go for a UK distributor..
