I have a headset now but haven't tried it out yet. Sounds interesting, but This is the kind of thing that requires a Demo first. I have a headset now but haven’t tried it out yet.

But you may be right that a standard mouse / keyboard combo may get developers lazy about optimizing for a gamepad control of their games, which would somewhat degrade the "play games on your comfy sofa in a relaxed pose" attitude on consoles. However, even tho I began to get used to COD4, my left index finger's joints are currently aching after a very long session of gameplay, from repetetive stress. That never happened even after much long hours of Battlefield1942. @darrin: It’s probably because I have always been more of a PC guy. e.g. barely getting used to FPS’s with a gamepad.

That works well with a pad, and it's very well received. Devs can work around the control issues. Mouse control will remain a minority option for console users. I enjoy it for UT3, but I think it should stay a niche option and I don't think bundling mice is a good idea. Pixel Junk Monsters is a light-RTS.
