seemingly the majority, correct me if im wrong, of the most anticipated games of the year are being ported over to the xbox. Instead of fooling around with tweaking my video card to play a certain game, on my xbox i just select the game and it works instantly :)

Look at Doom3, how many people will need to buy a new pc just to get decent playing out out of it, meanhwhile you can just pop it in your xbox and bob's your uncle.

PC all the way, at least since the SNES was discontinued. If I were to buy a new console, it had better be able to run Linux and be expandable to a complete computer, because I won't have a piece of kit that powerful to only play games/movies/music on via a relatively crappy output like a TV. No way.

up until recently i wouldn't bother with games unless they were on pc, pc version of console games are always cheaper too. recently i purchased an xbox and i have to admit, it is a lot more fun playing console games if you have a widescreen tv. my computer is also getting more and more outdated and can't handle games too well anymore. so im sticking with console for now but certain games such as first person shooters are so much easier with a keyboard and mouse.

Has to be consoles for me, but probably the reason for that is that i'm using a 5-year old 500Mhz PC!

Consoles are easier to use, set-up, and only require upgrading every ohh, 7 years? :laugh: Sports sims on console are unrivalled.

The humble PC does have one of the greatest games in the world in my opinion however; Fallout 2! Yes, call me old skool (If you're that young anyway).

I prefer using PS2 or even gameboy the original then playing on a PC, for some reason i cant get into alot of games on my computer. I even tried emulators on the comp for some games for consoles, and well, it wasnt the same lol! i guess i was raised more on consoles then the comp and so prefer it that way now. :yes:

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
