^ Are you drunk, or just void of all intelligence?

Hopefully drunk, because if not, this is the stupidest thread I've ever read in my life. images/smilies/mellow.gif

I second that motion. HAH!!'

Besides, buying an XBOX to mod it isn't such a bad idea. Many of my friends do it, and are satisfied. (They all have their own PCs as well)
They have an XBOX, 60 GIG HD, has a media player, you can brwose the net with it, you can DL games fromn the web for free, uhm, and basically do most things a PC can!
So, what's wrong with that? It's even cheaper!The only thing I can think of that I dislike is the controllers, but even that you get used to.

Sorry, had to reply. But yes, very stupid thread images/smilies/wink.gif

(And peeps say I'M a postwhore ... HAH images/smilies/lol.gif

XBOX is a great media center. Its ability to play mpeg4 files is particularly convenient for young people.

That sounds like some cheesy advertising slogan... neglecting the fact that Microsoft would never openly advertise MPEG4 support. images/smilies/tongue.gif

bahnstormer · October 8th, 2004, 02:43 PM

its gay!

ok here's a normal person -
i want total control over everything i do and not
be limited in my gaming experience by microsoft.
so i'll buy a pc

here's a retarded console person
whoa that green is sooooo cool!
and oh man! what awesome ads they
have!!! hm 250 isn't bad....
so i'll buy an xbox
but wait now that i have it i can only play
at shitty resolutions and load times are gay
so i'll hack it. buy a chip for it, buy a hd for it
maybe upgrade the dvd drive too...awesome
so now my xbox is
almost like a pc a couple more mods and
i'll still have to use a joystick to aim lol images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

i liek consoles. although i only have a DC...virtua tennis 2k2 rocks my world....

i am getting a ps2 for about 1100 HKD jsut for GT4(all mod'd, pop in a fake game and play!). holla at that!

mmap · October 8th, 2004, 05:28 PM

Stupid topic but hey I am no genius myself so...

normal person who just wants easy gaming:

Buy a console never have to worry about the machine meeting the reguirements, just pop in the disk and play. Machine never ever crashes and never gets viruses.

Someone else:

Buys a pc spends a fortune upgrading it every 6 months to meet the new gaming standards. Regulalrly re-installs the operating system due to viruses and teh pc crashing. pays a shit load of cash for software to protect the computer. etc etc...

always several sides in this issues of opinion.

ESPNSTI · October 8th, 2004, 05:31 PM

I have a PS2, but I only use it to play GT and DVDs, for the rest I use a PC.

Overheat · October 8th, 2004, 05:31 PM

Can't beat consoles for some things! For a start, you can't get Gran Turismo for the PC, plus consoles can do a lot of things that PCs can't. I also love light gun games images/smilies/smile.gif

I think bahn is a bit retarded! Either that or just VERY shallow-minded. XBox is the most powerful console out there at the moment (it also makes a very cheap home server images/smilies/smile.gif

)

jasonchiu · October 8th, 2004, 05:34 PM

u know u can play GT2 on a dreamcast. i use a disk called Bleem! and pop in GT2 and it works. graphics and detials are improved as well. qutie cool hey?

Overheat · October 8th, 2004, 05:35 PM

yea, u can get it for the PC too but it's simply not as good as the real thing

jasonchiu · October 8th, 2004, 05:36 PM

what do u mean? it will be better coz all of the features are improved and the sterring wheels are better for pc

ESPNSTI · October 8th, 2004, 05:38 PM

I've never played X-Box, does that have a boot-up time like a PC does then?
Cuz that still annoys me.
They should do everything to find a way to make a PC (near) instant on or instant off.

Overheat · October 8th, 2004, 05:45 PM

Use Hibernate

ESPNSTI · October 8th, 2004, 05:51 PM

Hibernate is not fast enough for me.

jasonchiu · October 8th, 2004, 05:53 PM

pull the plug out the socket and walk away
