Subject: The sad realization of the new Xbox

I'm blue da ba di da ba dai!

So what if the graphics aren't good? What kind of idiot plays games for their esthetics?

A good game won't be bad if it isn't pretty, the opposite isn't true.

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.)
I hope you're joking about Halo 4. I like Xbox as much as the next guy but come on. It has Bilinear texture filtering, can't run in 1080p native, has no anisotropic filtering, is in DX9, and has framerate issues at times.

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

And what was I wrong on?

Also....I wasn't the one who started the PC vs console debates in this thread. The PC build in my OP was a demonstration on what the next could be for the $350 price point, and then I stated that it would be way lower. That's it.

What about a graphics card?
That cpu is actually an APU and has a built in GPU that is powerful enough to run pretty much any game out right now on medium settings.

That will not "play any PC game to date". It's missing a GPU, and with one, would hardly run games 2-3 years old. Not to metion, it's micro-ATX, so you'd need a bigger case and a new power supply.

Plus an operating system, keyboard, mouse, bigger power supply... Than expect it to play every single PC game for the next 5 years at the highest settings. Don't think so.

The most dangerous gunslinger in the west.

"Oh man, [insert game here] has slightly worse graphics then the PC. I guess I better sell my Xbox as I'm an extremely shallow gamer who only cares about resolution and doesn't give half a damn about good storytelling or atmosphere or anything actually meaningful in a game."

That might play everything but on low settings.

Every time you say something is old your dick shrinks.

If the new consoles flop that's fine by me....just means I can start buying old ones now.

Again...how many times do I have to say it....the GPU is built into CPU, and it's one damn good GPU for it being with the CPU.
The case I chose is microATX....everything will fit in there just fine.
300 watts is enough for everything....including peripherals.
An OS doesn't take up power usage....
The PC in my OP CAN play any game to date. Since it's a low budget PC, it won't be too future proof, but this is why we can upgrade things if we need too.

The Newegg power supply calculator says that everything will eat up 293 watts....and that includes peripherals and telks you the most it will eat up.

So 300 watts is enough.

Op the computer you built has two flaws. 1 No power supply, and if you want a good PSU because you know, you don't want your computer to explode you'll need something 80pluse. And 2 no OS, This will cost about 70-100 for windows 7, which is what you will need because lolOSX and lollinux. So you're probably still looking around 500-600ish if you want a pc that can play games and not explode.

Ive spent a lot of money on computers and I have to say I am disappoint in almost every "hardcore" PC gamer. PC is only master race if you spend tons of money and games are specifically developed for the PC.

Im not saying the next xbox wont be overpriced because Micro$oft, but it is cheaper in the short term because PC gaming has to high of a price barrier.

That's the same -blam!- price of the Xbox 360 at launch. God damn people are dumb.

The build was made as an example as to what Microsoft could produce for $350.

People....you have to remember....I made this thread to say that Microsoft could have this...and you too! But they won't give you this. I didn't start the PC vs Xbox debate in this thread. The only point in my OP where I mentioned PC gaming is when I said that the build could play any game to date. That's it.

  • 12.09.2012 8:47 PM PDT

Top you can't make something for $350 and the sell it for $350. That'll get you bankrupt.

Like I said earlier in this thread....I was being generous on the price.

WOW! This thread...

Four pages of intense arguing, and apparently only 3 people looked close/knew enough at/about the OP to realize that that's not a fully functioning gaming PC that he linked.

The Xbox plays games at low settings at 720p at 30 FPS (or 60 in CoD), and looking at games like BF3, it's not fairing too well right now. I'm sure that the $350 build listed in the OP could run with the same settings as Xbox and do fine.
