Razer's Magazine Ad (worth looking at)!

http://i.imgur.com/yAgYg.jpg

To make this not look like spam I figure I will ad this:

It is addressing the "war" between console and PC gamers.

need the web link.

Interesting, many companies that sell pc gaming supplies haven't been vocal at all. Wonder what product they'll launch to show that pc gaming isn't dead. Could be worthless marketing, coulde be something worth buying.

I think the whole argument is fiction. PC gaming and console gaming have existed together since their inception. It's an argument that is brought up by those who didn't exist during gamings inception. Commodore 64/Atari 2600 (and those that came before it), etcetera.

It will be interesting to see what they have in mind, I for one suddenly felt excited

My guess is it is probably a keyboard and mouse that is compatible with Wii, PS3, Xbox360, and PC.

Any game that did that, would show the clear advantage you get when using a KB\Mouse versus a Controller. It would be a complete slaughter of the Console players xD

Oh we have that already. It's just the player's the one who's doing the screaming. Proof ? Check any thread that has (why new games suck) for a title.

I think most PC gamers don't even care about this so called ''War''.
Most of us know better then arguing with people who are stupid like that.

If it is going to be a KB/Mouse for consoles then i still wouldn't buy a console. I'm still waiting on the 7000 series so the 6950 drops in price

Razer's products have never been on my radar. While I am curious to what this is, still not blipping my radar.

Why not wait for 7000 and.. Buy a 7000? Better yet, buy nVidia. All my AMD cards have been a let down, and this was the last time. I want to like them, but no, they just have to do something wrong. I have done everything but ritual sacrifice to get my 6950's to work the way reviews say they should.

I care a LOT, because we PC gamers get poor-performance, poorly ported console copies they call "games", and not the gems that could be on this aweshum platform.
