What the -blam!- am I reading.

In order to remain up to date, you have to buy a series of painfully expensive upgrades for PC, while with a console, you're guaranteed that it will run all current games until the end of the generation.

But on PC nobody is forcing you to buy an expensive component....or get one in the first place. That's all up to the person buying the product....he or she chooses what he or she wants.


Well he is right in some ways. What's the point of making a -blam!- machine? You're better off buying more expensive parts. In my opinion, a better PC= better gaming experience.

Those parts in my OP are not -blam!-. They're very good parts. It's definitely for the person who wants a cheap computer that can play just about any game to date.

If it is, I'm just getting a gaming PC.

Why do people get upset over this kind of thing? Just keep it calm and don't worry. Everything's gonna be alright.

  • 12.09.2012 6:09 PM PDT

Nevermind, wasn't paying attention, my bad. I mostly play on consoles because I'm unable to build/pay for a PC.

Didn't know I could play games with just a processor.

The processor has a built in GPU....which is actually a pretty damn good GPU considering that it's built in to a CPU.

I wouldn't put it past ms to sell their console for a loss.

  • 12.09.2012 6:15 PM PDT

Most consoles sell at a loss at first, the loss is made up with game purchases and such over time.

  • 12.09.2012 6:16 PM PDT

I play both PC and console games. Anyone who thinks one side is worse than the other doesn't realize all the optons they both offer.

Consoles have their strong points and so do pc games. The best thing to do is enjoy both of the worlds.

When I play console games I don't care about graphics. I care more about being able to be in parties with friends and gameplay. When I play pc I care about modding community and customization to make the pc game infinite and expansive. Some games have so many good mods you could spend years playing the game not having seen and used every good mod. It's literally a black hole of endless goodness.

I find it hilarious how PC gamers constantly need to tell others that they could have "Bet hurr grafixx". You guys need to understand is that friends play with me on consoles. Along with that, the graphics for consiles are NOT bad. Just look at Halo 4. It looks just as good as any of the recent releases on pc but it's being run on a 7 year old machine.

OT:I expect a nicer looking dashboard. I'm also expecting evdrything to run smoothly. (Start up an app in less than 5 seconds.)

Dude, how can you say halo 4 looks as good as a pc game with a straight face. Have you actually seen a pc game in the last 6 years?

  • 12.09.2012 6:27 PM PDT

From up here the city lights burn like a thousand miles of fire

have they mentioned anything about the new xbox? i have yet to hear anything about it

I had a feeling this would turn into a PC vs Console thread.

Happily married to Fatal_Coin_Vest since July 1st, 2009.

Thank you, Captain K Mart.

Huh. You guys still get hard from a good PC/console debate.

Just play what you like. Who gives a -blam!-. Stop being so righteous about something so petty.

  • 12.09.2012 6:30 PM PDT

I think the next Xbox console will cost between $550 to $600.

Irrelevant....the 2 versions of that game were made on completely different consoles....of course there would be a difference.

You do realise you can change graphical settings on PC games?

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Feel free to vote with your wallet if you don't like the the specs of any hardware device that comes out. That's the way the world works.

The pros and cons of console vs PC have been much debated over the last several years, both here in this forum and in the tech world where people know what they're actually talking about. Blandly comparing specifications of a PC to those of a console, completely out of context, is a pretty huge newbie mistake.

OP, you should do more research on this issue before continuing this line of argument.

To be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if the NeXtbox has a setup similar to that, maybe with an AMD Dual Graphics setup.

But if the Durango kit was anything to go by, it'll probably have a fair bit more power than that.
