See i have neve really had any issues with installing or running pc games, theres been a couple like s.t.a.l.k.e.r that have performence issues and such but for the most part i couldnt be happier, i have played hundreds of pc games and the couple that have given me issues have never swade me from pc gaming.

No console game i have ever played has been exciting, they have no options, no features, its just hit play and go, i cant stand manuvering or amining with a controller its so inacurate and akward.

Honestly, and no offence to you intended, consoles are for lamens, people that just want to put in a game and have a liniar, boring experience.

As per the wii, ill buy one in a couple years when i can get one for 100$, im not paying 600$ to put one together so that actually more then one person can use it.

Anyways, i would love to see consoles die so that pc gaming makes a comeback, down with consoles, long live pc!

You should see the look on xbox360/ps3 players' faces when you explain to them that they can't play <<insert certain mod/plugin for certain game>> on their consoles.

i would have loved to seen the look on their faces when they found out their 700$ xbox360 couldnt play the original xbox games because micro$haft decided it would be more profitable to make people continue buying the orginal xbox if they wanted to play any of thoes games

While I still much prefer my PC, the fact that I'm in a family where there are PCs, Xboxes, Xbox 360s, a Wii, and PS2s, I can tell you that this statement is totally incorrect.

First of all, neither of the XBOX 360s here cost over $400. (Perhaps you're using an amount of currency other than USA?)

Secondly, the XBOX 360s can be updated for backward compatibility to be able to play many, if not most, of the original XBOX games.

The more I get to play on a 360, the more comfortable it becomes. And, as I've stated before, I use a 360 controller on my PC. I'm actually getting to the point of wanting to use it whenever the game supports a controller. Learning to use one takes patience and practice.

I don't think that's what you meant, but, I won't argue with you about it. The 360 has been out for over two years now. I can't imagine you'd be talking about when it first came out at this late stage of the game.

At any rate, all along, MS has posted original XBOX Titles that can be played on the 360. I think you came late to the game.

lol now your telling me what i meant, yes i meant at time of release when it cost roughly 700$ and didnt have any backwards compatability, m$ only made the backwards compatability available after they had tapped out the original xbox market to the last drop, and if thousands of people didnt make a huge stink about it then i doubt they ever would have provided it honestly, so please dont tell me what i meant man.

and im not coming to the game period, i would never waste a penny on one of thoes worthless things

Where are you getting the 700$ figure?? The 360, even the Elite, has never cost over $500 USA.

The original shipment of the Premium version included a cut-down version of the Media Remote, but this was removed from later shipments. The Elite package was launched later at US$479, and the "Xbox 360 Arcade" replaced the "Xbox 360 Core" in October 2007 at US$279."

Maybe just maybe he's factoring in the additional cost of a TV/HDTV. (I have no idea how much those cost, just guessing)
