This is hype crap I'm talking about.

How is the Xbox bad "in that whatever it can do a pc can probably do" if the other consoles are less powerfull?

I agree on the subjective front although sales figures for Halo 2 and GTA San Andreas kick any GC game in the teeth.

What I mean is that it seems a bit unnecessary getting one if all you have to do is wait for the pc port, and if they don't do a pc port then that is kinda' dumb too, as it's so frikkin easy.

Porting from the GC is a bitch tho' as the hardware is different(which doesn't necessarily mean inferior), which in turn means that many titles may become exclusive for that reason alone.

Isn't the PS2 different as well?

Why would I wait a year for a PC port anyway?

I play console games for a reason.

I can hook it up to any TV. Don't have to configure it. Don't have to buy another $300 card to take advantage of the updated graphics.

Splinter Cell on the Xbox wasn't unnecessary by the least.

i prefer playing xbox games (halo) on pc anyway

the $300 card is weak cop out. it turns out more expensive to play pc games but not that expensive

Yeppers, the ps2 is linux based I think, and notoriously difficult to program to, or used to be at least. I like it, but they seem to have picked a pretty roundabout way in making it. They own at blurring things tho'.

If I had to pick one, I'd pick one that is less likely to have its games remade, quite possibly even enhanced (as pc's are constantly getting better), for a platform I already have. But as it is I play them all with no particular bias.

I can hook my pc up to any tv I want already, and as for hardware constantly getting better and you having to buy new cards to take advantage of that, the xbox isn't getting better, so it can only do the graphics it does today, how is that any better?

The PC is better for all FPS's.

There's mouse look and unlimited mods.

$300 is not weak whatsoever. Quite expensive every 2 years for a very small number of good games.

I'm sure Halo was better......a year later.
