Presuambly the xbox version still uses microsoft servers therefore less requirement for subscriptions.

Microsoft will see an exclusive and geuninely unique game like Huxley (especially with its glorious graphics) as a huge seller for the 360 and a boon for the 360 vs ps3 war. I would not be surprised if microsoft subsidised the game in someway to help it get on the market and be a success.

I doubt they will have xbox plays fighting against pc players, the different in the controls between the two would mean that the xbox players would be at a massive disadvantage.

If Webzen decide to make that disadvantage up by giving the xboxers "auto-aim" near the reticule, so they dont have to be accurate, then they will piss of the PC gamers, because the console players dont have to be accurate, and a console game may win a fight simply because the server decided to make their "near" shot a direct hit.

Also remember that currently the Xbox 360 on an HDTV looks amazing.. but those of you saying that its cheaper to get the X-Box versiont hink again.. to get it looking like that you need the 360 AND the HD-TV, and a decent HD-TV will cost almost as much as a PC, so if you want average rubbish graphics, awkward controls but smooth relliable gameplay, then you can get the basic 360 and a nromal tv and play the game, but if you want the full experience you will need a hardware setup that cost many hundreds of pounds, be it PC or X-box-360 with an HDTV. Also remember that the 360 technology wont be getting any better, whereas in 6 months time when huxley is getting close to release, pc technology will have moved on a great deal.
