Is this an ad?

I just find it convenient that he plugs the wireless adapter and Lego Star Wars II and Flight Sim...both of which are currently the feature titles for Games for Windows.

It'd be cooler with a wiimote. In fact, I believe that was posted months ago on here

Oh you naysayers. I think it looks cool. Surely only a matter of time before a flight-sim does indeed use virtual earth data. Very interesting.

Kb/M is more convenient, *especially* when navigating maps.

It looks cool to me. Why does everybody have to complain about everything. I'll be glad when this console war settles down.

They're just those KB/M fanatics who get all uptight everytime someone shows you dont need a kb/m for everything pc related....

The video, if you guys are wondering, is by Brandon LeBlanc ("Sidebar Geek") from the group of blogs at TheHive.

You can find his blog at the hive here:

He is just a little nervous doing it. Wasn't the navigation using the remore a lot smoother during the CES demo? Looks to me like his sensitivity is too low so he's turning really slow.

That looked like he had no control and hw was struggling how fast things moved. He was jumping chaoticly from position to position. Either he doesnt know how to use analog sticks very well or they mapped the control sticks to simple digital inputs (just like holding down an up key).

If it is the latter that is pretty lame. Either way I don't see how this is impressive, there has been a USB driver for the XBox 1 controller for 4 years.

Jeez, you people are negative. "Not impressed", give me a break. It's not supposed to be that impressive. It's just a fun little piece of code built into Live maps. Lighten up a bit, yeah?

It's a neat trick, using joystick input for a web app, and I hope that this is a trend that continues.
