    That's a step in the right direction :) would be nice to see other developers follow suit, imagine playing a PC FPS online with friends who are on the PS3 and XBox.

    I can envision co-op'ing a game on the PC with my son playing on his PS3, just another way to bridge the current gap and bring gamers together.
