I'm guessing no, but I was wondering if it was possible to play say xbox games on a laptop. I really don't think it is, but I just want to be sure.

Depends on the system, the computer, and what game you are playing. Most cool games for the PS3 and XBOX have a version for PC. Also, you need a special controller I think.

Also, most popular RPGMMOs also usage of controllers. Infact, I am sure DDO can be played with a PS3 controller.

Good to see gtfawjkjg bringing up more... As for the special controlling he was talking about, I have a gamepad. I bought a cheap generic one because the Logitech gamepad was a bit pricey. The one I have does work excellently however.

You can also use a PS3 or Xbox 360 controller to act as your gamepad. I believe you might need to have some other things readied though, e.g. drivers.

If you buy a wired xBox 360 controller it downloads and installs the drivers when you first plug it in. And I use that for several games, even some that don't support it.

Knight is correct, even if the emulators are legal.
