Actually, I was asking Watchdog but I don\'t see how that computes...

How does 4 extra controllers push the price up to $1200?

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Yes it can but I meant 2 XBox\'s, 8 controllers, Link Cable, and 2 TVs.

but yer still looking at roughly 10" x 10" square of a TV

can four xbox\'s be hooked together with 4 TV\'s for some halo multi?  would be even cooler if it was co-op

im so sick of deathmatch games.  all my friends and i do is play co-op modes on games like serious sam 1 and 2, quake 2, and blood 2

halo co-op was hella fun on legendary, BUT we\'ll never do it again
too monotonous

That\'s why I suggested 2 on 2 on 2 separate Box\'s.

If you\'re daring and got the participants, go for 4 on 4.

And I\'m not saying to go buy a second Box. I meant have one of your buddies bring theirs over.

Oh, and yes, you can have up to 4 linked Box\'s for up to 16 players.

But how many people do you know that have 4 decent sized TV\'s?

lol, no

i meant 4 players + 4 xbox\'s + 4 TV\'s

4 players is almost too many anyways for co-op, let alone 16!
that would be pure chaos

i hate splitscreen games, but i cant do much about it

Not really my friend, there inlies another problem. If MS were to allow Keyboard(actually the keyboard in now obsolite for games)



and a mouse combo, how would they co-exist with the majority of players(MAINSTREAM) using controllers. This would be an unfair advantage, and would piss most of the people off who are using the controller. Also XBOX is a console, and the mainstream players are usually playing games on there couch, how are they going to use a mouse/keyboard? Quite frankly it wouldn\'t interest most of the people, only us HARDCORE gamers are the one\'s who badly yearn for it.
