Until this Christmas, I have been more of a console gamer, because I had an old Dell computer which had only 256mb RAM (after I added 128mb), a 1.1ghz processor, and a 16mb onboard video card. But I got a decent computer which plays games for Christmas, so I have been playing computer games a lot more, and I have not used my xbox for gaming since then basically.

I'm a more PC kind if guy. Been exposed to computers since I was 6 years old. The only console I had was Sega Megadrive 16-Bit to play Sonic the Hedgehog :D . Now happily playing NFS: MW on my PC :D .

PC all the way! I love the great games for the PC. Though I'm not very familiar with the console games, I know enough to know I'll only buy a console if I win the lottery. :D Otherwise I don't want that crap. But I'd like to play with the console's sport games. Car races, wrestling, ball-games, boxing, fighting (Mortal Kombat). That would be great.

GET PS2, if you can't get a PS2 get A PC. All other consoles suck like mad!

Xbox much better. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Pc and Xbox good combination. :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D

btw who says you cant play pc games on a nice and clear 37" lcd tv screen that supports 1920 x 1080 resolutions :D. The PC is more customizable and if your in need a of a joypad/joystick you can always buy one. I find it more enjoyable to play sports games on the xbox 360 as it isnt as intense as fpses are.

Im surprised at how many people are primarily PC gamers. Thing is, both have their upsides, and why not have the best of both worlds. And i appreciated the quote up there from atomsmasher about getting a ps2 and if not get a pc, as if anyone would a: not be able to get a ps2, and b: decide that since they couldnt get a ?100 piece of plastic to spend ?1000 on a pc...

The console controller really needs to be retired/phased out if consoles ever want to capture the interests of PC gamers. Games have evolved so much from the days of Super Mario Brothers that a 10, 15 button peripheral just doesn't make sense anymore. Until the day I see keyboards and mice plugged into a console, I'm sticking with the PC. I'd also help if HDTV became mainstream.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
