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 my computer is also getting more and more outdated and can't handle games too well anymore.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:

    • The level of stupidity at Google and Microsoft is beyond belief. All they are doing by killing this is forcing people to jump over to Firefox and ditch them all together, therefore giving Firefox the market boost it needs to finally crush them all in the end.
