If you have a question about this talk, please contact Alexander Blustin.

I will review the work we have done with XCS (XMM Cluster Survey) towards cosmological parameters. In particular I will review Sahlen et al. 2009, which shows how important it is to understand scaling relations before attempting cosmology with clusters. I will go on to discuss the relevance of X-ray clusters to cosmology in light of new optical and SZ surveys.
