Asked and answered, but I'm throwing my 2 cents in anyway. XBL is a waste of money young man. That your parents can afford to buy you online game time with your xbox bodes well for their bank account, but poorly for their financial sense (says the man playing EQ2 once a week).
most diehard PC gamers have played consoles throughout their history. Personally, I grew up on the original Nintendo and Atari systems; I've continued all the way to and through the xbox era (which is dead; deal with it). We've been there, done that...and take PC over console time and again. PC gives you better control than a console. it gives you better graphics if you have a good system to build on. It can handle more intensive games as you upgrade it; instead of being forced to buy an outmoded console to play this years game and then buy a new console which will be outmoded sooner than my graphics card.
And it can DO more. Instead of buying a console to play games, PC users have a little common sense. We don't WASTE our money on an xbox, then drool over PS2 games. If it's worthy, we'll see it, no matter what the system it's playing on. In the mean time, we can use OUR system to surf the web, download movies/music/anything else you can think of from the internet (just do it legal) write our term papers, design our dream house (CAD 3D), balance our checkbooks...do i need to go on?
Of course not. You aren't even listening. You're one of those people that pops into the Maw to shake his fist under our nose, "knowing" that we can't retaliate from our own homes, and all the while secretly fearing we might. All I can say is, you want to play? go to the Halo PC servers and talk trash. this does not belong in the Maw.
