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.

    • 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
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
