I think Sony f'ed up when they didn't port EQ2 over to the PS3

Don't go with PSU >_> I wasted over 400 hours of my life on it...

The 360 does have MMO's (mainly FFXI) but if you've ever tried to play the game with just a controller you will quickly realize why MMO's just don't work on consoles.

True, it has the chatpad and supports the USB keyboard, but one is an extra accessory (and a pretty useless one when everybody else uses voice chat) and the other requires users to take an extra step on their own.

I'm all for trying MMO's on consoles, but I've yet to find one that works well on consoles yet without extra hassles.

yeah i hear you ; i read a while back that ffxi control scheme was horrid so i desided to past on it.

I disagree with you there, if the chatpad is packed in with the game then there no problem really.The head-set is a no brainer its needed, but i was thinking that the chatpads buttons need to be used more as hotkey(for spell casting and such) and not for chatting.Im really crossing my fingers and hoping knights of the old republic online will be announce for the xbox360 soon.

Actually you can play FFXI on the PS3, so technically it does have an MMO.

Isn't DC Universe supposed to be an MMO.

Free Realm another PS3 MMO..

Isn't Free Realms vaporware?

there isa few in asia.

I could not agree less. Sony Online Entertainment is reviled for its standards and practices. I have little doubt that if they were to port the title it would be a cluster fuck of unimaginable proportions. All it would allow is for a pathetic developer to drop raw sewage into a festering wound. I honestly think their future projects for the console are likely major public relations disasters in the making.

Yes it is possible to play one of these games through a console controller. The real problem is dedicated button usage. The developers are used to having a hundred buttons at their disposal in the form of a keyboard, and they make ample usage of them. When you move to a controller you have to think more along the lines of redundant button usage. You need to start thinking of using buttons in concert in a fluent fashion.

For example on a 360 controller an appropriate hot button system would be to use the right bumper, left bumper, and left trigger as tab buttons. Hold in the right button and hit X, Y, A, B to perform your first four hot key functions. Then the left bumper for the next four, and the left trigger for the last four. You would probably need the right trigger for your voice communication, because type and talk and act is near impossible on a controller. You would need the directional pad for sub menus. Even then for the more advanced commands your talking about tabbing and then hitting buttons a number of times.

Yes it can be done, but its not altogether easy or even straight forward. More to the point players need to be able to access these things on the fly. Any command over three seconds could be a frustration.
