Microsoft Surface Tablet Will Support Xbox 360 Controllers, Halo anyone?
Here is something we didn’t see coming, although everyone knew Xbox 360 controllers work for PCs, it just falls under the “I never thought of that” category. Redmondpie outlines a conversation had on Riddit about the soon to be released tablet:
A member of the Surface team noted: “We used the 360 USB controllers to play with Surface all the time and they work great. We have not tried Kinect yet.”
This is interesting! “all the time,” does this mean the surface could possibly be the Xbox Mobile we’ve been waiting for? Perhaps. Upon reading the news, I instantly fired up my Windows 8 martketplace to confirm my thoughts. Wow, they’re tons of games currently available for Windows 8 that could possibly use an Xbox controller. With my PS Vita sitting in a corner some where not charged, this tad bit of info could change the game for me! A semi-serious gaming machine with full controller capabilities while away from home? Yes sir!
Could you see the surface as a serious gaming machine?

Exciting news!
However, you should consider doing a simple spelling and grammar check before you post articles. It’s making yourself seem illiterate (which is bad if you were planning a future in writing these articles) and makes it hard to read any more articles with your name at the top.
super awesome criticism. I clean it up a bit, hope its good now 🙂
Actually there are pretty ton of good games coming to XBox on Windows 8. You could check the games that are planned by Microsoft alone here http://www.xbox.com/en-US/windows/games
I mean from Microsoft and its partners alone. There will some more from the Game/App Developers shortly. Is it is going to be an all one device that a student definitely need. XBox, IM, Email, Web and Office. Surface RT FTW.
