You would be playing Champions Online through your Xbox 360 this year, if Crypic Studios had its way. The studio recently told VG247 that Champions Online is up and running on Xbox 360, but Microsoft hasn't ironed out the details to bring MMOs to Xbox 360, which is stopping the project from moving forward towards release.
“Right now we’re just talking with Microsoft," said Cryptic CCO Jack Emmert. "Right now the ball is firmly in their court. We’re ready to go, but until we get the go ahead from Microsoft, right now we’re sort of waiting.”
A similar situation has prevented Square Enix from officially announcing Final Fantasy XIV for Xbox 360, as well. As it stands, Final Fantasy XIV is exclusive to PlayStation 3 and PC, though Square Enix said it definitely wants to be on Xbox 360.

they would have been better off putting champions online on the ps3 considering the agency fell through

For what it's worth, this game was designed from the ground-up to use the 360 controller on both platforms. Currently, with the PC version, the 360 controller isn't officially supported, but it's working pretty well. People who've tried it are swearing by it; there are some features that aren't working quite right that you have to use the keyboard or mouse to handle, but for combat it's supposed to be very, very cool. I'm holding out hope for the 360 version, since this computer not only doesn't have a good enough graphics card, it's lacking the horsepower department, too.

I wonder if it has to do with not only the subscription but the "cryptic points" you can buy to purchase in-game items.

there is no problem with the game not working on live. The problem is Microsoft wont get a cut of the monthly charge and they don't like that, so they arnt allowing it on their system.

i dont see how they could make an MMO for a console and expect it to have the same gameplay. granted the only MMO i have played is WoW, but i've seen others and there just arent that many buttons on an xbox controller. Would you only be able to map certain abilities to the buttonss, and have to discard others to make room? sounds pretty lame to me.

Champions would rock on the 360. Hope Microsoft moves before Cryptic heads "where no one has gone before"!

Sounds kinda like the impasse with getting EA games on the OXB, a few years ago.
