I like PC games for FPS games and a few RTS games.. but I've found myself leaning toward console games now because PC games are less social, which someone pointed out, and having friends over to play vs talking to them through Ventrilo or TeamSpeak sucks.

Yeah exactly. When you play on Live it's a lot more fun because you can communicate with people through the same client all the time. Plus friends lists are a real nice bonus :p

I would have to say both but take a more liking to a pc because of the option to mode almost every feature of it and just make it the most uber computer ever. howeva a consol has both pros and cons but still they have some awsome games that pc dosent have... :/

Since a few years ago I have been a devote PC gamer.

But I'm already tired of having to upgrade my hardware, or having problems with hardware for some games, so I'm buying a console in this upcoming months (X360) and to tell you the truth... I have never been this excited.

No Doubt PC!

Better graphics and more choice of games. Games cost a fortune on the Xbox360 and the PS3. Like ?40-?50 each! Multiplayer games are so much more fun on the PC.

Ive been playing all me PS2 games in my PC for a year now and just happy

How is that possible beniza?

Definately console, xbox 360 to be precise;

upsides:

+ just hanging on the couch while playing games rules

+ not expensive (compared to high-end pc's)

+ no need to upgrade every month to play the newest games

+ plug and play

+ racers and footies have to be played with a controller imo

+ LAN-parties with consoles are a lot cooler than PC-LAN's imo, because you are actually sitting right next to your partner and in splitscreen can better co-operate or punch him on the shoulder when he messes up :laugh:

+ Certain exclusives that never (or a lot later) reach pc (gears of war, project gotham racing, forza motorsport to name a few)

Downsides;

- after they have reached the consoles limits, you wish you had a powerfull pc.

- online multiplayer will cost you extra money

- no mods

- games for consoles are getting more and more expensive

- extra hardware is quite expensive (x360 controller for almost 50 euro's! a simple vga cable costs around 20 euro's \O/)

Well, I only have a PC, and it's an old pc so i can't game a lot even if I want to. But I'm building a new rig, a high-end system. I was going to get a console and hook it up to the same LCD monitor of the PC... but I really don't know if it's really worth getting a console. Basically I really love rracing games, unfortunately not too many good once nowadays. I also love Americas Army on the PC. Don't know much about games. Still undecided :/

Nothing beats the PC. The gaming system in my opinion must be versatile. consoles are built for playing games alone. The PC on the other hand is a jack of all trades. Its the only exception cos its the master of all trades as well. I doubt you can say that for anything else. And consoles definitely don't fit that criteria.

Infact, to be honest, i don't know why they had to even come up with the idea of consoles.

PC's rock, consoles sock !!!!!11

I used to be into consoles... but computers, IMO, are superior as far as controls go. I also enjoy the aspect of multi-tasking. Consoles is to "tunnel vision" for me. That being said, I can not wait to get into Twilight Princess and Gears of War.

:D

So my vote is PC, as mentioned, the upgrade-ability factor.

    • 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.
