Dedicated console gamers may stick to their roots and say that their controllers of choice are the best but PC gamers are whistling to a much different tune. While controllers for consoles like the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 may designed from the ground up with gaming in mind the precision can’t really compare to that of a keyboard and mouse combo.

Luckily, if you’re one who wants to use their keyboard/mouse with the Xbox 360, you’re abe to do so thanks to products like the XIM3 adapter. Priced at a somewhat lofty $149.99, the XIM3 will give gamers the ability to seamlessly utilize a wide array of otherwise unsupported peripherals with Microsoft’s Xbox 360.

Anyways, the reason I’m telling you this is because just today the XIM3 went up for sale only to quickly sell out not long after. Luckily, if you’re still looking to get down on the product they have put up a page where you can leave your email and be notified as soon as more stock is made available.

Microsoft has evidentally made note of this as an Xbox 360 WiFi adapter has made its way through the FCC featuring 802.11n compatibility.

There’s no word on when we will see this hardware hit the streets but let’s hope it’s soon.

Although the Wii Classic Controller or a Gamecube controller works well enough for most virtual console titles nothing would beat the sheer joy of playing old school Nintendo games with the original controller. Before now you’d have to possess MacGuyver level skills to wire an old-school NES controller to your Wii, but a new peripheral set to be revealed at E3 will substitute for the mullet-style tinkering.

The 3-in-1 Virtual Retro Adapter will plug into the Gamecube controller port and accept inputs from the original NES, Super Nintendo and N64 Controllers. It’s compatible with both 1st and 3rd party controllers and is set to launch June of this year, with an MSRP of $19.99. It’s manufactured and designed by Komodo and distributed by Innex
