I don't think that is possible. You see, if you were to throw PC players in with XBox 360 players on say COD4 for example, the XBox 360 players would constantly get owned and stop playing the game out of fustration due to the dramatic advantage mouse aiming introduces.

XBox 360s for the most part can only play on XBox live online game servers. Sure there may be mods or the odd game that do this, but I wouldn't say its worth the effort.

It's just plain painful. I have an XBOX 360 PC controller and I tried playing Half-Life Deathmatch: Source online, which is a very high pace game. I was getting kills but was no where near as acurate as I am with the mouse.

It did however look great on my TV. I wish I had a big enough desk for using my TV as a monitor!
