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 my computer is also getting more and more outdated and can't handle games too well anymore.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

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
    • eh I'll wait for the June 2026 MVS ISO downloads which should be coming out next Tuesday June 16 and possibly contain build 8655 instead of 8653

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
