The 360 IS a computer. It may have controllers, but it's still computer hardware. It even uses Vista as its OS.

Re: The Project "S" topic.
Personally I've played Xbox games on the PC, and I prefer the PC versions, I find it's easier to use a keyboard for half of their games. Take games such as Fable, KoToR, and even Halo is easier on the PC than it's XBox counterpart.
It's got either something to do with the coding, the engine, something like that. Being able to press a button for a certain action (Kotor) running in a particular manner (Fable) or going to a specific zoom (Halo) saves you from pressing like three buttons, or just makes it more leisurely over-all.
And since the XBox makes a lot of shooters, half of those are easier with a mouse anyway.
Anyway, we COULD discuss our control scheme preferences forever, and I'm NOT trying to focus on the XBox.
As I stated before, I'm not a big fan, but I'm a gamer, and they have had some positive effects on the industry, but I think a lot of the strain could have been avoided if Microsoft stuck to purely computers. I look at it like this: If they didn't divide their attention... what would their focus have been like?

Re: The Project "S" topic.
I think laying down on a couch with a wireless controller is way more leisurely than being hunched over a computer desk with a mouse and keyboard... you cant sit in a nice leather recliner at a computer desk either. so consoles win for me, way easier to adapt to the home theater, i get much better surround soound out of the 360 and ps3 too.

Re: The Project "S" topic.
Another tidbit from Suda:
Hilarious to hear him suggest they haven't talked about making a game out of it. I'm sure he's just entertaining the interviewer.

Outside of the radio drama program, what about making it into a full blown video game project?
Goichi Suda: For now it’s planned as a radio drama only – not a video game. However, personally if I had the chance to make it as a video game someday, I would be glad. Kojima-san is famous worldwide too, so if he’s not too busy, next time I see him maybe I’ll talk to him about it. Maybe we can make it happen.

Re: The Project "S" topic.
Well as far as I know...
Suda is working on the sequel to "No More Heros", and Kojima is thinking about making an FPS???
So I don't know if "Project S" is actually going to happen for at least another year or 2...if at all now?
I was really hoping to hear something "solid" about "Project S", I'm hoping they get on the ball with this "snatcher" radio drama soon.

Re: The Project "S" topic.
Suda's only a producer and script writer on No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle. I think he's more busy on the collaboration with Shinji Mikami. It's been rumoured that Kojima might be working on a FPS, because he'd visited a lot of developers who were famous for their work on FPS games, before, but I'd hardly take that as confirmation of him working on one. There's every chance that a Project S game could be an FPS, anyway (though I don't like suggesting it).
