Not only do third party devices like the xim 3 sell faster then a iphone on launch, but it's also getting more accepted. ;)

B: I see it more like, why do so many people bring bikes to a motorbike race.

Most sound pretty scared  ;D

I honestly wouldn't have bought an XIM if cheating wasn't so easy on the PC. I wouldn't have had a reason to look for such devices on a console I don't even own yet.

If this was the case then using steering wheels on racing games and joysticks on flight games would be cheating.

Same here. I don't understand how they can stick to their guns about "It's CHEATING!" when pretty much everyone can buy it. I think they're just whining and moaning because they either:
 A) Don't want to learn a new system (seems our younger generation are becoming old farts early)
or B) Don't want to spend money on something that's clearly better.
 
Hey folks, have you heard of a little thing called "Capitalism"? The guy with the money is ALWAYS going to have better stuff than you, and this will, in turn, improve his way of (Life, Gaming, Relaxing, you name it. Insert topic). It's just beyond me how they think their arguements are so solid, and how they really think this is so horrible. If they're so concerned with winning, clearly, the only option is for them to step-up and "Git-Them-Sum", or become a better gamepad user. Become a better player, or become a better consumerist  ;D

The xim3 is limited to what an xbox360 controller can do, if you put the sensitivity to 10 on reach you can achieve the same things a controller can do, then with a mouse an keyboard.... how can anyone consider this a "cheat"... clearly its personal preference

Its not cheating… read the Xbox Live terms of use, and read it closely.  Despite the fact that XIM3 is not an official Xbox peripheral, it does not violate any terms of use.

It'll be "nice" for you, becuse your controls will now be faster and more accurate then 99% of the other people playing, how can that not be cheating?

Best thing ever :D

Console gamers only consider it cheating because they recognize that the controller is an inferior device. Any gamer who clains he can pwn with his controller yet calls a XIM'er a cheater is full of it. If you were that confident that you can do just as well with a controller, you wouldn't begrudge somebody an alternate input device. ;D

As we all know, when FPS games started gaining ground on the console, they had to adapt them without requiring any new hardware (for ease of adoption). Now they are just protecting the status quo and we XIM'ers are going to break out of it. :)
Homonyms kick @#$% and chew bubble gum. For egg sample, hear is not the same as here. Remember to use to and not too, too.

Funny that the majority of the comments say its cheating but the poll tells a different story.
