As fun as it may be, I'm not paying $50 a year to be able to play against XBOX users. |

This is either funny or stupid or both because as a pc gamer you can almost own any console gamer. It's way to easy. I would own them. |

Look at it this way, there will be a lot of servers to choose from, and they will be populated. I think pc gamers will find themselves some good adversaries in the console crowd who equally challenge the skills of a seasoned mouse/keyboard gamer. Especially in games like Graw/Graw 2 if cross platform is ever supported for such titles, a lot of pc users would be in first person, while the 360 guys are in 3rd person lurking around a corner...waiting. |
