    It would be amazing if such a thing could ever be implemented. No chance of it happening though.

    No, but with Portal 2 you will be able to play against PC and Mac users.

    Wouldnt it? the fanboy screaming matches in pre game lobbies on MW2 would be worth buying the game for alone. comedy gold.

    Exactly, I would think in a few years they may do it.. But more than likely not...

    At the moment it's impossible. Each format is developed completely differently. Sometimes even the same game will look and play slighty better/worse on each console. If all games were delevoped on the same sdk it would be a step closer but I think it's fair to say that cross platform gaming between ps3 and xbox will never ever happen. Ever. :)

    its not IMPOSSIBLE.. I remember reading an interview with some Xbox exec and he stated it IS possible, wish I could remember where.. but I think we all know that its something that will probably never happen

    While not impossible, it just wouldn't be done.

    The servers (that everyone connects to) themselves are either owned or rented by either Sony or Microsoft. Neither wish to collaborate with each other as they are in direct competition.
    Also, if one specific console causes problems, this could affect the other users of the other console. Think XBox with jtagged units having a huge advantage over all PS3 users, spoiling it for one side.

    Never going to happen, sadly.
