Not a microsoft kb and mouse, but most probably there will be 3rd party mouse + keyboard

I doubt MS will give a license to publish any FPS that supports keyboard and mouse. It is counter to their propaganda to convince us that XBox is not a PC.

Well my friend asked me the same question and I was wondering about it too. But what I think is it wont plug into the back of the console, but it will plug into one of those I/O Slots where the controllers go.. :P

From all my understanding I do not believe they will have a mouse. The wanted to stay away from the pc image.

I don't know about you guys, but, I bought a gaming console, not a PC...I already have two PCs...I don't need a third. But, if MS decides to create a mouse and a keyboard (or a 3rd party company), it's fine with me...but, I won't buy them.

When I first tried Halo on the store demo, I thought a keyboard and mouse would be a must for FPS games and such, but after getting used to the controls, using the controller becomes second nature, although it still isn't as easy to use as a KB and Mouse, it works just fine.

Well, if you look on your XBOX controller cord, towards the bottom, there is a plastic hump that you can seperate. If you look, the controller is now PS2 compatible, so Microsoft will definately be making some sort of things for that kind of port....

P.S. I noticed that when I accidentally pulled the controller while playing Halo... hehe :)

[edit] I myself will not buy a keyboard or mouse for this CONSOLE... I already have 3 comps in my house.. ugh[edit]

Ok I understand people like to play games with the key board and such, but when you buy a gaming system dont you understand that it is a gaming system not a pc. Why do you want to change it? So you can do homework and papers on it? budget your taxes? I mean D@amn what is your problem... ok I am done ranting.. No offence
